Research!

Now that the students know a lot about disadvantages, it’s time to do research. Today, all of the students will be focusing on specific disadvantage areas on which to do their research. The Hailer/Mapes/Marso lab will be focusing on Japan, the Faltesek/Sohoni lab will be researching Africa, the Cronin/Johnson/Kirkeide will focus on overconfidence/hegemony arguments, and finally the Mapes/Short lab will work on China. The evidence deadline for the research is at 11 P.M. tonight. The kids will be using the research skills they learned yesterday to cut many cards.

Throughout the day, all the lab leaders will be doing their second drill with the students. Every student will finish camp with a minimum of 8 drills from their lab leaders.

The library will be our home for the next 12 hours.

The 2nd Annual "Bob Groven" Tournament will begin tomorrow at 7:45 P.M. The students will each debate a minimum of four rounds after which two teams will debate in the final round on Saturday.
