Hello 7th and 8th grade Parents!
It’s the season for Debates for the middle school science classes at PVCS. Debates are done each year to teach the students to think critically and be able to have some research to back up their belief system. All group work is done in class, so it is vital that students do not miss Science class. This is the one time that points will be marked down for astudent being absent. It is a group project, but students will be graded individually.
Starting this Thursday, February 16th, the 7th and 8th grade classes will be put into
groups to debate one of the following:
- Creation: Origin of the Universe/Origin of Life/Origin of Man
- Evolution: Origin of the Universe/Origin of Life/Origin of Man
- Organic Foods
- Artificial Foods
Your child will be responsible for retrieving information at various times throughout the following weeks for the subject that is given tothem this Thursday. The following schedule is a tentative outline for what will be done each day in class, as well as what is due from each student each day. Research will need to be done as homework, due at the beginning of class on the due date. Debate day is Friday, March 2nd,from approximately 12:35-2:50 p.m. in the Patio Room. Parents are more than welcome to stop by and watch the students in action. If you have any questions, please email me at mmoss@pvcschool.org.
