Debate Day - the debrief - Jim

I thought the day went really well as a whole and all the debates were of a high class. I would rate myself an eight or nine out of ten because my team won and I got best speaker. I also really enjoyed ajudicating. It was a close debate that I judged and there were speakers that stood out. I think I would do a bit more preperation if I did it again although you don't want to over prepare. I thought that the euthanasia topic was really good and I thought there were good points from both teams. I think a good reason to do debating is because it really helps with public speaking. A good skill to have for debating is thinking on the spot because that is how you make your rebuttal and also sometimes you need thinking on the spot for extra points in your debate.
