Argumentative Olympic Torch

The opening ceremony for the 2nd annual Argumentative Olympics in Ms. Edwards's 8th-grade literacy class took place Thursday, March 17th, at West Liberty Middle School.  On Friday, March 18th,  students in each class period participated in several group competitions: Equestrian, Balance Beam, Gymnastics, Basketball, Bobsled, and Javelin Throw.  The next step in their competition will entail composing their argumentative writing pieces on any school-appropriate topic they choose.  Members of each group will present their argumentative writing pieces during the closing ceremony.  

You could feel the motivation level increase during Friday's events!  We can't wait to see how their argumentative writing pieces turn out!  Go Comets!
