https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr Let's reflect on our process and performance so far this year, and consider our intentions going forward. en-us 2021-11-16 16:37:21 UTC 2025-09-26 06:58:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895278101 I have learned that it is best to take risks--especially in debate. Taking risks allows a degree of learning to happen. You will never learn, or get better at debate, if you do not take risks.]]> 2021-11-16 22:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895278101 brooke_zevon https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895310653 Both varsity teams won!! JV didn’t get to compete because their competitors did not show up.

Varsity Affirmative: we won 52-32 points!! The negative team came with pre-prepared speeches, so they didn’t really clash with or reference our plan. They just read stuff about lead pipes, the economy, and the government, but their points didn’t align with the FIAT rule.]]> 2021-11-16 22:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895310653 brooke_zevon https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895311520 Maybe a mock debate at the interest meeting so people can see what a debate is actually like.]]> 2021-11-16 22:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895311520 brooke_zevon https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895316898 Debate has helped me grow as a writer and a speaker, and has taught me I’m able to come up with things on the spot better than I thought I could. I’ve really enjoyed researching a topic and pulling specific information to use, and I feel like it’s helped me structure arguments better in other writing.]]> 2021-11-16 22:41:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1895316898 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1896729411 when debating negative, even if you don't think something is a bad point, the fact you're debating "something" is at times more important than the actual content -bisola

It has also helped me communicate better to others, and learn about the water situation in the US. ]]> 2021-11-28 16:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1916427775 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1918914041 I think that mock debates are a good idea for  other people to test out their plans. - Kevin]]> 2021-11-29 20:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/zlocpqpb0ujm3gtr/wish/1918914041
