Answer 1

The Byzantines--> Imagine your city builds a new high school. Half the students at your current high school will have to attend the new one next year. You are one of them. The school board calls a meeting to name the new school and select a mascot for its extracurricular programs. One meeting turns into several as emotions run high.

Everyone has a different opinion on the name and mascot for the school. Some people favor naming it after a historical figure. Yet no one can agree on which one. Others think it should reflect local culture. People have suggested animals ranging from ants to yaks for the mascot.

Everyone agrees that the choices are important and will affect the reputation and morale at the new school.

Imagine yourself as an upcoming senior who will have to attend the new school. You have been given the floor for two to three minutes to share your feelings with the school board and attendees of the meeting. As you take the microphone you must answer questions 1 through 4 within your two- to three-minute commentary. Remember that your objective is to persuade your audience.
