We just had our 6th class debate!!! For me, debating is very difficult for me as I dislike speaking in front of a class. I also had to go up against some very feisty competition, the first time I had to this I let her overpower me, but as this being my 6th debate I stood up to her and tried to rebut her as best I could.
Debating has taught me to : Use effective Google Search techniques, evaluate websites, argue a point of view, check if websites are scholarly, paraphrase someone else’s research, take on a role within a debate team, whether it be the opening statement, main argument (& crazy crossfire), rebuttal and collaborate with my teammates to organise our arguments.
