The debate today turned out quite interesting. First and foremost I would like to point out the fact that you, Mr. Beddingfield, changed your position a tad bit today. On Friday you said that you were going for the book being banned from all schools and today you were leaning towards it being praised over other books by teaching it in a classroom setting. I feel as though the debate was just beginning to pick up and we weren't able to express all of our great ideas/points with the time given. It was especially difficult given the fact that everyone gathered their own information and we had a limited time to decipher which point would best represent our position. Plus, everyone was throwing ideas left and right so that sorta put a lot of pressure on us to represent the entire class as a whole. You, on the other hand, were able to represent yourself and all of your brilliant ideas independently making it much more easier and concise.
But if it makes you feel any better, you beat a bunch of teenagers in the debate.
To improve this activity in the future, I think that we should be allowed more time to review all of our ideas with our classmates. You should also not ease drop in our conversation prior to the debate. Oh and you should split the class in half instead. I find that more fair.
That is all.
That is all.
