I have improved my skills as a student....

I have improved as a student in many different aspects of my education. One aspect I believe I have most strengthen in throughout the course this year is relating how I share my opinion and researched information to explain to the class. Over the past two trimesters, we have participated in doing many debates within the class. We have debated topics such as Puerto Rico's state, our new president, retribution vs restitution, and the Industrial Revolution- along with many smaller conversations in class where we have shared our individual perspective. Throughout these projects, I have grown in being able to strongly support my side and add to the conversation. During the Industrial Revolution debate back in the beginning of the year, I feel as though I added to the conversation, but with very few statistics and convincing statements. Towards the end of the year, relating our midterms, I was able to contribute much more helpful due to the fact that I had the proper preparation for the debate. I have grown greatly in being able to share my opinion in a clear, concise, convincing way while using many example and statistics.
Throughout each debate I have done the opening statement for my group. I chose to incorporate these statements to show my improvement as to how I share my information with the class. I am now able to have a more convincing debate because I allow for the listeners to relate more clearly to my topic. I no longer use interpreted information, I share quotes and statistics which show how much work I put into each statement made. |
