Parents and special guests of West Elementary fifth graders were recently invited to attend a friendly debate in their child’s classroom. The invitation was a celebration and opportunity for the students to showcase what they’ve learned upon the conclusion of the unit covering argument and advocacy reading and writing.

Each student picked an issue of importance and had the chance to debate the topic with a family member, friend, or teacher during the mid-morning event. Some examples of various student debate topics included “Vaping Should Be Banned,” “Animal Testing Needs to Stop” and “Extreme Sports are Not That Extreme!”
