Struggle for Ohio Debate



Click the picture above to view our Debate Video!
                Recently, we had a debate in our classroom. It was over who should own Ohio. There were three sides.  One side was the Colonists. An argument they had was “ we have sea to sea clauses”. Another group was the Indians. One of their arguments they had was “The Great Spirit gave them the land to share.” The last group was the French. “Celeron built the first ship on Lake Erie” was one of their arguments.
                We spent a long time preparing for this debate.  After figuring out who did what facts, we were ready for the debate.  First, we gave some information on why we deserve Ohio. Then, we argued against reasons that other groups had used about why that isn’t a good reason to why they deserve Ohio. The Native Americans won the debate, but the colonists won Ohio.
