Today, TP11 finished preparing for their upcoming debates.  Students who missed this very important class should get in touch with their teammates to discuss what happened.  Anyone who doesn't know what team they're on should consult the documents in the 'Debates' folder on the shared Google drive.  These documents will show you the teams, the motions, the dates, the rules, etc.

Next class: we will have our first two debates!
