Lightning Debate

In class we have to debate with eachother for the topic we choose. I was last one to present the debate because I had a lot of topics that were not interesting. I had a topic which was inappropriate but I had enough supporting evidence to debate. So I was looking for other topics. I decided to do Cats vs Dogs, but I had no idea what to talk about. Then I decided to talk about no iPads. I had ideas about that. I was thinking to win but when I talked I was nervous because people were looking at me. I gave good examples to support my ideas. I should've work on my evidence more because in the end I lost my credibility. However in the debate with group, I was more prepared and ready because I know what I was going to say to support my friends and my evidence. I prepared before I came to class but in lightning debate, I wasn't ready because i had to make evidence up and try to support them even though they are not real. I feel like I did a good job in my rebuttal against Mazie and Hans in both debates. I was nervous in bo but I was strong too. That's why I feel like it was a good debate for me. Everybody in our debate did very good job. Like I said Ella was like a machine gun which rapid fire. She had a lot of ideas and she talked about a lot them so fast and so clear. After that it was my turn. I wasn't like machine gun but I was pistol. I shoot on the point. That's means I just go slowly and talk about what they said wrong. I feel like we won the debate because we were more prepared and more clear with our evidence. Other team had good opening and rebuttlas but they were not that clear when they support it. They should've work on those ideas so they would beat us next time.  In our team we always have an issue to get together because everyone has their ideas and they want to support their ideas I instead of what they should support. That's cause our team to get in a problem which is to communicate. If we work on these things then we will have better ideas and better opening in every debate. In addition we are a good team and we can be better and beat the other side very easily. Next debate we will be more prepared to support everything and work on our bad sides to win better instead of having close wins. I have to work on my lightning debate to support ideas and should not be nervous next time because it makes me look like I am not saying to truth. It affects me to get nervous .
