When I found out we were doing a debate about plastic bags I was very happy. I got a group and we started reading articles, highlighting, and annotating. That is how I got all my research! When we found out if we were on the pro or con side I was very happy with what I got! Even though I did not really agree with my topic I still researched it.  I got a lot of research from the articles. We started writing down reasons and evidence. I was focusing on how plastic was bad for the environment and my partner focused on how it is bad for the animals. We started doing counterarguments with My other group members that were doing the pro side. I did the intro and reasons. My partner did the conclusion and reason.  The debate experience was really fun!
