4th Essay???

Sorry I missed class last Saturday....What will our fourth essay consist off???

DEBATE

I AM REAL EXCITED ABOUT OR DEBATE TEAMS. I'M NOT SURE I WANT TO STATE MY OPINION OPENLY. ABORTION IS SUTCH A HOT TOPIC THAT EVERY ONE FEELS THEIR CHOICE TO BE PRO OR CON IS THE CORRECT CHOICE FOR EVERY ONE TO FOLLOW. WHAT I MEAN IS EVERY INDIVIDUAL FEELS HE KNOWS THE CORRECT ANSWER. SOME ARE TO INTO GETTING INVOLVED IN OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS THAT IT UPSETS ME TO MUCH. THERE MAY BE A TIME IN CLASS WHEN WE ARE DEBATING WHERE I MAY HAVE TO STEP OUT OF CLASS SO I DONT SAY SOMETHING RUDE OR MAKE SOME ONE CRY WITH MY SARCASM. AT THE SAME TIME I FEEL IT IS A GREAT OPPERTUNITY TO SEE WHAT EVERY ONE ELSE THINKS, JUST AS LONG AS NO ONE PUSHES THEIR DEBATE FEELINGS ON ONE ANOTHER.

SECOND TIME AROUND

AFTER OUR DISCUSSION IN CLASS I WENT HOME AND WATCHED THE MOVIE "APOCOLYPS NOW" A SECOND TIME. I PAYED CLOSE ATENTION TO THE DETAILS WE DISCUSSED IN CLASS. I FELT DSCUSSING IT WAS MORE HELPFUL TO GET ME TO DISTINGUISH THE NECESSARY AND CLUTTER SO I CAN GET MY ESSAY READY. I ALSO TOOK NOTES. I GOT CONFUSED ON THE NAMES OF THE CHARACTERS THE FIRST TIME AROUND. I ALL I FEEL THE MOVIE WAS MORE REALISTIC AND MORE DETAILED THAN THE BOOK. I FELT THE BOOK WAS BOARING AND I COULDNT CONCENTRATE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

Debate

I think the debates will be simple enough. Do some research there is plenty of information, pro and con avialble through various sources. The library at Cal Poly Pomona has a section were you can look up old news paper articles to support you stand. Maybe even some presidential debates have covered both topics.

Debate

Have any of you had the opportunity to debate before? In my Speech class we had debated a few times.
