There were many things today. People were fighting, states were disagreeing, and many things had to be solved by sacrafises. The first thing we noticed when we entered the room was the white board. It said recomandations of what to say in a debate. We didn't like the sound of it. Our teacher came in and assigned seats. I was put in New Jersy. Then, we were shown a slide show of some problems the states faced. This time it was against each other; they didn't know who to be the leader, who would choose, how many representatives, who could vote, populations, and other ordeals. So, we then had to answer six questions (A through F) of such ordeals. Non of them were easy, and we would often disagree. But our teacher would always be there to help us, and other groups as well. And then we were told about a debate we had to do. New Jersy and Virgina Had plans of how many representatives would go to meetings. Virginia, who is the largest, said it depended on the size of the state. New Jersy, being the smallest, was at a disadvantage. Then there was a fight for who does what part of the debate. We had a lot of fun in class, thinking in another state's shoes, having a debate for the first time for a while, and I look forward to our discussions to see what we, or our enemies, have cooked up for us.
