Today in Class..Debate! 9/7/16

Today in class we took notes and talked more about A Letter to Garcia and ancient Greece. In the slide show that Mr. Schick was showing us, it talked about how Letter to Garcia became a book, movie, and a term that people used to use. The book essay sold over 40 million copies. It became a movie twice, once in 1916 and again in 1936. The book it turned into stretched from three pages to 37 pages. In class we also had a mini debate on LGBT marriage. It was interesting because there were only two people (who were brave enough anyways) that were against it. Mr. Schick picked on two people one who was for and one who was against, and listened to both over their opinions on the topic. He then used the Socratic Method to have them think about why they thought what they thought and to see if they could support their opinions. I found it interesting because sometimes they didn't really know how to answer his questions and it really got them thinking about why they were on the side they were on.
