Zoo debate reflection

Have you ever written a good topic that you extremely liked? Well i just did a debate about zoos and it was so fun and also it was very scary going up to the whole entire class. I’ll tell you what I mean.

For the start I had to gather research about zoos, It was a hassle reading all of these articles, websites and documentaries from home. when gathering evidence i had to make sure to also gather evidence for the other side to. I enjoyed researching and knowing all of these cool facts and I liked working with my team.

The only thing about the zoo article that i was not crazy about was when i had to do a counter if the person did a very good job and had a lot of evidence to back up there claim it was hard to make a counter. I learned to speak loud, don’t get distracted, don’t play attention to what the attendance is saying and read your script over and over.We did a very nice job because we had the right amount of word not to short not to long and we hardly stuttered.

In summary I think me and my team did a fantastic job and i had a very fun experience.

 

Curling Trip

Just imagine you in a huge curling court and you play against another team you are tied 0-0 you are the first up and ready to go. You do your motion and SWOOSH goes to the stone at a high speed and watches it go in the house. Because that is what happened when we had our curling trip today.

At the curling trip first we got to pick out your teams. I chose Jackson and Elenie and Chloe joined. We each went to our spots in the court and we practiced. The instructors helped us get the hang of sliding the stones. After we practiced we were ready to play against our opponents. We were up first and I was the first person to go up on my team. I did everything the teacher told me and BAM I slid it so hard that it hit the other stones on the other side. After that I swepted for my teammates. Finally I was up again and I did the same thing with my movements but  fell and hit my hip on the ice but my stone still made it in the house.

The curling in the ice was way different then in PE. First the ground was slippery on the ice and also the stones were much heavier then the ones with wheels because we were so use to picking them up in our motion  but when i tried doing that it wouldn’t budge. We could finally slid in our motion then using the carpet mats. Also we had a stabilizer to help us glide without falling and how we can finally sweep the stones to     make it go farther.

Overall I would rate the trip a 5 out of 5. It is one of the best trips ever and i wish i can go there again and I probably will. I went there and you should too.
