Greetings, explorer!
At the end of September, PEAI will host an 8-team debate tournament for fifth grade students. The tournament will feature two motions that all students will have debated already in class. The final round will be an impromptu debate, and the motion will not be released until 30 minutes before the debate begins.
The motions for the first two rounds of prepared debate are:
This house would ban driving in cities.
This house believes that Korean elementary school students should not study abroad.
The impromptu motion will be within the subject area of information and/or communication technology, and will relate to one or several of the themes from the Global Issues series. All students will experience debating the tournament motions, but if you are interested in participating in the school-wide tournament, please email me at pburbine@gmail.com on or before Sunday, September 2.
Official team rosters will be posted to the blog on Wednesday, September 5. Looking forward to see who goes!
