How have you improved your ability to communicate your ideas clearly during the debate project?

This debate project was a good opportunity for me to work on my confidence in public speaking, as I struggle with anxiety and nervousness when presenting in front of a class. Despite this, I tried to focus on organizing my arguments in a format that was easy to follow, which helped me stay on track.

What challenges did you face in expressing your arguments effectively?

I would say my biggest challenge during the debate was lacking confidence when speaking, which affected my volume and made it harder for the class to hear me. Next time, I will try and practice what I’m going to say more, so that I can d build more confidence and try to overcome my nerves.
