We currently wrapped up the 14th week of school, awww.... THINGS WE DID THIS WEEK Essay - We finished our Essay fully this week. It was yet to be put in the required MLA formatting, but we gladly finished both our essay and our graphs. We had 11 pages full of good arguments that we were ready to put into our debate. Debates - This was our last week for debate and my team and I were really nervous about how our performance would be. We had our essay finished, and we were in the midst of writing our full out speeches and deciding our individual arguments, rebuttals, and parts for the debate Arguments - Below is our arguments. Sammie got some help from her Aunt who knows a lot about debating. Her aunt kindly edited our paper and we were able to prioritize which arguments we should use. We will start writing our speeches next week. Posters - Based on the information on how essay, we were to make a poster representing our side of the debate topic.
Difficulties this week: I had difficulties this week trying to work on both debate, posters, and our rocket. I feel really stressed out this time of the year since it's so close to exhibition. There's a lot of stuff to do, but debate is what's really making me worry. I am very nervous for that and I'm still not 100% sure on my speeches for this. Sammie and I were both really scared for going first on Tuesday. It felt like there were high expectations on our team coming from Matt. I was worried for that, and the poster was very unexpected. I didn't think we'd be doing a poster until this week. It was hard getting everything done in when it was really last minute. Successes this week: I finished making the poster! It was really last minute and I am very proud of the first draft I had. I was glad that people gave nice and helpful critique and I was excited to see how it would look like in photoSHOP. I was also very satisfied with our essay. I was surprised that we actually were able to write a longer one than our first one after changing the sides. Surprisingly I convinced myself to believe in the "NO" side for our debate, and it definitely worked. Goals for next week: Do a good debate! (win) Finish poster! Help out with exhibition planning! Do more extra weekly challenges! DO NOT PROCRASTINATE
