About a month ago my teacher told my classmates and I that we would be doing debates. We were put into groups. My group was Kate, Avery, Hana and Barbara. We got to pick a topic. You decided on Should You Drink Tap or Bottled Water. First we did a lot of research, about a week later we split up to do a practice debate. I was with Kate and Avery. We found 3 reasons and 1 piece of evidence for why you should drink bottled water. When it was time to split up for the real debate I was still with Kate and Avery but, we decided to change it up because it was the same. I was now with Avery and Hana for bottled water. Hana was sick so Avery and I had to find 3 reasons and 3 pieces of evidence. When Hana came back we ran into a problem. Barbara was not going to  be at school the week before break. Someone from my side had to move over. Hana moved over because she had just came back and wasn’t as prepared as Avery and I. Ms. Edwards told us that we should have text evidence, pictures and diagram. We found pictures and diagrams and made it fit in with what we were saying. We kept on practicing until we were pretty good and it was time to do the debate.

I think that we did pretty well but we could of improved. We were reading of the cards. We should of memorized it but I think we were nervous so we read off of the cards so we said that right thing. We also hesitated a little and were kinds fidgety but otherwise I think we did good.
