I would say the debates were really good. In the first group I realised they were well organized and structured. They prepared their arguments and they showed them clearly. In the second group, eventhoug there was a misunderstanding about the topic, we could debate anayway. If the teacher wouldn't have thought in that solution, maybe we will have to re-schedule the debate which wouldn't have been good for all of us.
I realised some persons said their arguments from heart, which is not good because if they forgot a word, they forgot the whole sentence. Besides, we know when people speak from heart and it isn't the idea of a debate, is it?
It is difficult to say who the winners were, because we all defended our position. On the other hand, it is also hard to defend an idea when you do not agree with that. If you like what your are defending, you will feel pasion for this, but if you do not agree with the topic, you still have something that drives you to the other position and this does not help at all.
It was a nice experince, I enjoyed it eventhough I do not really like to debate. I feel it helped us to get closer to our classmates and helped us to improve team work.
