Mr. Bratkovic's ELA students participated in debate team carousels to build background knowledge prior to reading "The Seventh Man." Debate team carousels encourage students to be active learners as they work in groups of four, taking turns completing prompts on a template. This academic engagement exercise encourages students to see various sides of an issue and think about what the opposing and supporting arguments for a certain position might be. #tongienation #usd464
