Debate Results
I would like to start by congratulating all students for coming up with solid arguments. I would also like to thank our three speakers from both the affirmative and negative sides, you all did a great job representing your teams.
After reviewing all the arguments and counter-arguments,I have decided that the affirmative side (Hero)was slightly stronger. Your overall arguments were solid and you defended them well. The negative side was a very close second, as you will see in the marks.
Thank you all for your efforts this morning.
