Yesterday the grade 8’s participated in a debate on whether we should have genetically modified foods or not. Sam, Thomas, Alexander, and Zach were against having genetically modified foods, while Emilee, Matt, Hannah, Jessica, and Jade were for them. Unfortunately Jade wasn’t at school, so she couldn’t participate 🙁  Sam became a shark and took leadership of his group, while Matt, Emilee and Hannah shared that role for the other group. Jessica, Thomas, Alex, and Zach were more laid back, but when they said something, boy was it a good point! Sam, Alex, Zach and Thomas had very interesting points to why we shouldn’t have genetically modified foods but the other group always had a re-buttle! Before the debate started all of us voted if we thought we should eat genetically modified foods, the results were 14 yes, and 8 no. I guess the debate really changed peoples minds, because when we voted at the end it was tied 11-11! I hope we get to do a debate again soon!
