6th Grade Debate

This week, the 6th grade class had their first Social Studies debate.  The students have been learning about ancient Chinese dynasties. The learned about the Qin emperor Shi Huangdi this week.  He was a ruler that unified China and brought a lot of advancements, but he was also cruel and eliminated anyone who disagreed with him.  The students were broken up into two groups.  One group argued that Shi Huangdi was a brilliant ruler.  The other side argued that he was a terrible tyrant.  The 6th graders did a great job expressing their opinions!
