Ninth Grade Current Events Blog for Week of November 4

This week's current events blog is going to be a little different.

Everyone's comment about the school safety issue has been made public, and we are going to have a little online debate.  Skim through your classmates' articles and find someone whose opinion differs from your own.  Using the concession-counterargument method, comment on your classmates' comment (just one) and show that you understand his/her comment and explain how your opinion differs. If you can't find a classmate whose opinion differs from your own, then play the devil's advocate and PRETEND to disagree with him/her.

Classroom debate etiquette still applies.  YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY IN ORDER TO GET FULL CREDIT.

    i disagree with Jane Frances blog because he should be punished for not obeying his elders when a teacher ask you to tell them your name you tell them don't keep acting what if the cops would have shot that would be his fault for not identifying him self they thought he was a dangerous deranged lunatic.
