I believe in my opinion my group the negative side did very well. We had alot of times before the debate where we didn't know who was doing what and what we had to do until the last day, but we got it done. I think that we had some strong and very powerful facts. I think that performing our side, we didn't do too well compared to the other side. We had the ability to present more facts but we failed to do that because of our effort and the time we had. I think that the first speaker had good information, she had good strong facts but failed to have an introduction and she didn't have enough information to last the whole two minutes. Our second speaker had strong points and didn't time it well enough. She too produced it very well. Our third speaker, didn't have any information at all, he attacked the other side and never stated anything, he just said a few words to the other team and only took up ten out of the sixty seconds. Our last speaker, did a good job on restating our points, having an introduction, but I failed to look at the audience, I kept his head down and read off of my script. The other team had good communication and good planning. Their first speaker had a good introduction,specific points and did very well. Their second speaker came up and had good points but ran out of time and couldn't finish. Their third speaker didn't really have good points at all and got a little nervous at the end. Their last speaker did good at restating the points, aswell as using his time and having a good thesis. He failed to have an introduction to his statement. I think we all could do better in preparing ourselves better by getting clear points,using the time,practicing aswell as knowing and anticipating what the other side is going to say to rebut against them. We all could have done better with more preparation and more time together. I think my side could have done better by getting and setting proper facts with both logos and ethos. we could have used more organization and not jump roles around. I would also say that both teams could have used a little more practice before the debate just to finalize the holes they had and fix the flaws. I wouldnt say one team won over the other. I would say that both sides won in some areas and lost in some areas. Some speakers did better than those on the opposing side. I would say that for the affirmative side their first speaker beat our first speaker, our second speaker beat their second speaker,our third speaker was defeated by their third speaker and our last speaker beat their last speaker, so it ends up being a tie, but i would also say that ms guarino gets the last and final say.
