The Middle School ESLO Extension class has spent the past month teaching students how to write speeches and follow procedures for the public forum style of debate. From Monday (11/7) to Friday (11/11), all of the ESLO Extension students practiced using their debating skills by participating in the first-ever ESLO Extension Debate Competition. The competition started with qualifying rounds, then semi-finals, and eventually culminated in a grand final round on Friday (11/11), during which the top two teams debated the topic of “Should zoos be banned?”. Please join us in congratulating the following teams on their excellent performances in the competition:
First Place- (Veritas C., Evelyn L., Olivia C., Hayley L.)
Second Place- Team 2 (Anca L., Peyton T., Zoe L., Jazlyn S.)
Third Place- Team 3 (Veronica C., Mina L., Ashley C., Yuna T.) and Team 13 (Kaiyen C., Warren L., Ethan C., Byron L.)
