My experience preparing for the video was very fun. The process of preparing, research, note taking, and working with my partner Gabriella to make reasons and good evidence was a challenge but in the end it worked out and I loved this project.When I got on the debate stage I was very nervous and I started a bit but in the end I did well. One thing I enjoyed the most was looking through all the articles that supported sharks should be protected and sharks shouldn’t be protected. Another thing that I enjoyed a lot was rehearsing our lines with our group. One thing I didn’t like was the debating going on between the two sides. But the most annoying part out of it all was side B I wanted to be side A and I wanted to be the group to protect sharks but my group had to be against sharks and I loved sharks so that upset me. Working on side B was a challenge because I had to encounter the other group. It was hard because many people love sharks and want them to be protected so I couldn’t find a lot of reasons and evidence that go against sharks so I thought outside the box And it really helped because I had a long and strong conclusion and a long and strong reason. One thing I really enjoyed about this project was from the day one we were all excited and we started taking notes even though later on in the project we realized that they were going to not be in the same groups. Even though there were seperate sides we is still gave each other compliments even though we were in different groups and we gave each other tips on how to make it better.
