Having experienced this activity, what is important to mention is that, although, it is our first time debating: we did our best and it was an exciting moment for us. The first debate, "Other Professionals as teachers", was thoroughly well prepared because they really presented very good arguments which actually sounded very convincing. They certainly thought about every single detail and brought forwards the counter arguments; presenting very straight and catchy questions to the audience. On the other hand, the group against the measure was a bit insecure about what they were defending. Sometimes their anxiety was very obvious, what helped the other group felt more confident with themselves and their topic. Even when, both groups had a different style to present their arguments, I felt that the one against the measure did not seem to be as prepared as the one in favor (in terms of considering all the possible counter arguments and preparing good questions).
In the second debate about “Voluntary Vote and Automatic Registration” something about groups’ organization did not work, but they knew how to overcome the mistake. However, there was a lack of facts and statistics which made this debate weaker than the first one. In terms of their attitude the seemed to be nervous and anxious what meant that some of them were not clear to present their arguments.
Finally, regarding the first topic in discussion I think that the group in favor was the winner because of the way they defended and presented their arguments. On the other hand, the second debate did not completely finished (something was missing) so that I could not say who won.
Note: If you ask me… there were a lot of things I would like to add to defend my topic (things that were prepared I could not say them because of the time)…
