Pet Blessing - "Beautiful Texas" - Debate Preparation

Today students:
  • Attended the annual blessing of the pets
  • Listened to an excellent student-made video to the tune of Willie Nelson's cover of "Beautiful Texas"

Here, by the way, is the 1935 recording by Milton Brown & His Musical Brownie.
  • Prepared PowerPoints for Monday's Debate: "Which of the four major regions of Texas is the best?"
Assignment: Regions Debate Monday
  • Be sure to finish taking textbook notes on the 11 sub-regions - I've noticed some of you haven't been keeping up with this.
  • Have your PowerPoint and debate arguments ready to begin the debate shortly after class begins
    • Slide 1: Title Page
    • Slide 2: Your Region's Strengths
    • Slide 3: How your region is better than one of the other regions
    • Slide 4: How your region is better than another of the regions
    • Slide 5 How your region is better than the last of the opposing regions
  • You may have more than 5 slides if you wish.
  • Be sure to include PICTURES illustrating your arguments.
  • I look forward to hearing your arguments and debating with you (even though I got the region no one else wanted. Sniff. Don't worry, though. I plan to turn my lemon into grape juice.).
