A few notes...
Nice job so far!  You're teachers are impressed by the focus and seriousness you are all bringing to this task.  The level of debate is high!  A few quick observations:
  1. Senators:  Make EYE CONTACT during your speeches!  Practice until you can fluidly look up and down from your speech!
  2. Voting:  When you're looking at the final amended bills this afternoon, make sure you understand how any of the amendments might change your senators position on the bill.  Does it make you more or less likely to vote for them?  Also, remember that abstaining should only be done if your senator is in a real bind, and abstaining is the only way out for them.

This Afternoon:
This afternoon, your task is to take any bills that pass out of committee, and make sure you fully understand how the amendments modify the bill, and how these amendments modify your party and senator's positions on the bill.  

What if my bill didn't make it out of committee?
You should still submit a final written speech to your Humanities teacher.  You are HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to add yourself to the speaker's list for another bill and speak in favor or opposition.  This doesn't need to be formally written out, and can be shorter than the usual 2-3 minutes!

What are we doing tomorrow?
Tomorrow we'll be taking time to go over final details for the Exhibition at Fort Lewis, give you final feedback and notes before our last night, and to revise speeches for people who are speaking on Friday so that they better address the fully amended bill.

We will also go over the Senior POL and paneling schedule to make sure there are no intractable conflicts.

Don't forget, we're on a WEDNESDAY schedule tomorrow!
