Day 5 (Thursday)


Our exciting day began in English class where we split into groups to debate various topics.   It was very interesting to have been required to argue our point of view.  These topics included uniform regulations , various forms of education,controversial laws. Etc.  The groups were required to organize themselves to work together  to prepare for our debate. One person was asked to summarize our argument, another researched statistics to support our position and one person addressed  questions from the class. I really enjoyed being able to look at arguments from different perspectives.  It was also a great way to
get to know more of the students at the school !!!!
    The second half of the morning, we observed presentations from another class. One group presented their experiences from a service trip to Hawaii over the summer.   In addition to service, they studied ways to improve certain aspects of student life.  We also listened to a fascinating presentation about underdeveloped countries. We were once again divided into small groups to brainstorm about how we could make a difference in our ever changing world.
    Our afternoon was filled with excitement when we visited Copenhagen 's beautiful beach.   We all had so much fun playing volleyball, soccer, and burying Jason in the sand. 😜.  Although we were sad to see this great day come to an end,we are all so excited to share what is yet to come during the rest of our time in Denmark!!!
