– What was the most challenging element of the debate project for you personally? Did you overcome that challenge and if so, how did you do so?
The most challenging element of the debate for me was definitely thinking on the spot, especially when I was already nervous in front of the class and had my partner depending on me. To overcome this challenge I just remained calm and relied on my self knowing that I had all the information I needed properly memorized and revised, because I worked hard to prepare for the project with my partner, Sarah.
– How did this project (as presenter or listener) change your perspectives?
My perspective was changed as a presenter largely because I greatly understood how putting in the hard work, especially for presenting is so helpful. Knowing the material I am talking about and being able to communicate it with others helped me connect with the people I was presenting to and get my points across confidently.
– What were you most proud of in your project
I was definitely most proud of the harmony between Sarah and I as we both bounced off one another when communicating to the listeners about our ideas and arguments, and helped make each other’s points even better.
