Debate reflection

Today I'm gonna talk about what I've been learning throughout term 3 on English class. I learnt about debating! it's a really fun topic to learn we get to know about Pathos/Ethos/Logos. They are the arts of persuasion found by the known & famous old Greek philosophers.On the first day we're going to start this fun topic we learned about solving crimes that can result of arguments for example a murder where there's no witness. It teaches how people's perspective can result into a conclusion of an argument. On the crime scene a character uses one of the methods of persuasion to persuade the police which is known as the wife of the victim. 

Next thing we learned is the PEEL. PEEL stands for point, evidence, explanation & link. those are important things to start a debate it makes our points strong and our goals to approve the opposing team is not better. We started a practice drill about debating about Apple & Samsung. I'm in the Samsung group where i didn't really chose where i wanted to be! so its a bit kind of unfair to get grades from that time, But luckily its just a practice drill. Personally for me i don't think that my group Samsung won because we didn't really had strong points to prove the opposing team is not better.

Third, we did a graded debate about "should the world have one currency" and I personally think i didn't really put my full effort there. I regret only reading a small point and also I was too shy i forgot to read the next paragraphs i had. I was really aiming for pathos on that argument because I was talking about culture related to the currency. I really thanked my group for having such wonderful points read by my friends and they are Mario.a, Nadya and Jason! they supported me throughout this term helping me to improve and mostly supporting everyone in the class. I really want to improve my points back then and i wish i could have a time machine to travel back and fix the things that i had on that debate part which are nervous and shyness.

I really had a fun time learning this topic and i would rate it 10/10 for this topic.
