The Great Debate, Jasmine Eubanks

Boom! Boom! Boom! My heart was pounding like a cannon. We, the bloggers, fired point after point at them and won the argument leaving them dumb-founded. We proved that censorship should not be allowed and that the First Amendment should be upheld.

The battle was tough, filled with yelling and screaming and people popping up from their seats like pop-corn. Their voices shivered as they stated their arguments, which were delivered within three minutes. The Bloggers were against the Reporters. Everyone was nervous -- thinking that they were not prepared enough, but to their surprise they were. The students were anxious, some had note cards while some had all the information in their heads.

Everyone listened to the opposing team’s points. We all disagreed passionately and the debate went wild and crazy. Each student shot their ideas at one another, while staying focused and on point.
In the end, the Bloggers won with 75 points to the 68 points the Newspaper Staff earned. Even though we didn’t have our ammo written on paper, we were able to quickly fire our points off the cuff at one another, because we disagreed so strongly!
