Great job today adapting to new situations as we did our first one-on-one debates online! Thanks to the moms who helped us and gave great pointers. The goal is to learn from the evaluations and to apply them in the next debate. We will finish these debates next week and meet with your teams to finish preparation for the debate on whether or not the U.S. should continue minting the penny.

Researchers, don’t forget to give pointers to the speakers with any new points or stories you may have found. Don’t forget to email me your opinions on the winners of today’s debates.
