Week 1 :)

A topic I am really interested in is the topic we are going to do tomorrow in class. I am excited to hear what each of my classmates think about how Harry Potter influenced English Literature and what should the minimum age for a pop star is. I am excited for these topics because I have been wondering the same thing about what other people might think about them. I haven't heard a lot of other debates before, so I am looking forward for tomorrow! :)

Based on the debate we had to watch this week for homework, I really enjoyed the way each speakers spoke. I noticed that every speaker is different on presenting their own opinions such as some people were very enthusiastic and emotional towards their speaking while others were very casual, but at same time, states the facts really well. One of the reasons stated by the OG side which was also the For side explained that the media should let all people understand about what is going on with our lives and the wars happening around us by showing the whole horrors of war. They shouldn't cover up the truth and only let the audience know about the good things and exclude the bad ones. However, at some points of the debate, I had trouble understanding the speakers for they rush through their speech when they got really into the topic.
I rate this debate 8 out of 10 for its information, but not on indicating clarity at all times. :D Thank you!
