Rhetoric and You! How to artfully combine passion, refinement, and a good haircut to model better living. Cute boys! I’m so glad I tweezed my unibrow!

Let’s start with a debate: who is the best superhero of all? Find your partner (if you have one). Take ONE minute to create an argument for your superhero’s supremacy and dominance over your opponent’s superhero. Next, we’ll have the debate. You’ll have 30 seconds to convince the class. – Batman vs. Iron Man (Rd. 1)--Superman vs. Thor (Rd. 2) – Captain America vs. Wonder Woman(Rd. 3)--Flash vs. Hulk (Rd. 4) Now, the losers of each debate will join their conquerors to prepare to debate against the victors of the other round. You have ONE minute to prepare and 30 seconds to deliver the argument. --Winner of Rd. 1 vs. Winner of Rd. 2-- Winner of Rd. 3 vs. Winner of Rd. 4 Now, the losers of each debate will join their conquerors to prepare to debate against the victors of the other round. WINNER TAKES ALL. You have ONE minute to prepare and 30 seconds to deliver the argument. TEACHER DECIDES!
