Ridgevue Debate Guest Speakers

5th graders enjoyed a visit from a few members of the Ridgevue Debate team and Mrs. Drew the Speech and Debate teacher. They got to participate in a miniature version of a congressional debate. Students "wrote bills" and debated them. This was amazing to hear and they did an amazing job for impromptu debates! I was so engaged, I even forgot to take much footage. . . Check out a very short video of some of the hour long visit from the Debate team.
