Last Monday, our class had a debate. My groups's topic was about "Should the world have one currency?" The affirmative side consists of Alisya, me, Aca, and Albern. The opposition team consists of Mario, Nadya, Radi, and Jason. I think my group is not really well organized because we had enough time to prepare our argument but when we presented it, we still left many important points behind.
My argument is not that structured because I put the important points at the end of the argument. I think I had enough evidences that I already put inside my argument. The audience also will trust the argument because i'm pretty sure they have experienced it theirselves. We could have done better. We could have say more evidences and arguments that will make the audience believe in our argument.
I think I did well in researching and making my argument but I need to improve my skills when i'm presenting it. I think I didn't use my time wisely because I chat a lot with my teammates rather than actually doing work. So I didn't put my maximal effort to make the argument. I think I used Logos because my evidence is logical and the audience has experienced it theirselves. For Pathos and Logos, I think I used it but I didn't show it as much as Logos.
I think the Affirmative Death Penalty did the best because they have reasonable reasons and their group has less people than the other groups. When they didn't know what to say, rather than stuttering, they stayed quiet for a while and then continue to speak again. I think my overall grade is 15 because I did good at some parts but I also still need to improve in some parts.
