Today, we began the debates.
These are the debates that I've been dreading since the beginning of winter break. There was no way that I could answer a question (proficiently) at the top of my head...I'm one of the slowest people I know. Really! Today, I wasn't put on the spot because I read the prepared opening statement, but I'm sure the time will come. Fortunately, I have group members to help me, but not if I'm the first one up.
I think that I'll just have to prepare myself as much as possible.
However, I do think that these debates are more organized than our previous ones, and they keep us more focused on the task at hand. We're sort of forced to rebut and make specific arguments against the other societies. At first, the system seemed confusing, but now, I'm pleased that it's a lot more straightforward than I thought.
Obviously, I would want more time to prepare my rebuttals and even arguments, but maybe that's asking too much. I suppose that the time we have is sufficient. After all, that's the beauty of the debates!
