In Literacy we have been learning about debating, we were sent away to research on our topic and then had to come in and have a debate. Our topic was Cell Phones in the class, we were split into teams, my team was why we shouldn't have them in the classroom. We found lots of evidence that backed up our argument, then we prepared our points, nominated our speakers and the debate began.
The Positives- Things like our research went really well, we came up with lots of points that backed up our argument, our speakers did a really good job as well, they spoke with clear and confident voices and delivered some powerful points.
The Negatives- Although we had lots of strong points in our speech we lacked in our defense statements. When the other group made a good point we weren't prepped with a come back, next time this would be something we could focus and work on.
Our group ended up winning our debate but there is lots of room for improvement.
I think that phones shouldn't be in the classroom unless there are some strong rules in place. Cell phones can lower your grades and distract you and others, so I think it's best we don't have them next to us, rather we could put them in a box at the front of the room.
What do you think about Cell phones in the class?
Do they Distract?
Do they Lower you're grades?
Hi Ruby!
ReplyDeleteI loved this blog and I think you did a good job explaining and sharing what you worked on in literacy. I think that phones do distract people and that is why we aren't allowed them in my school. If you were allowed them then I agree with you - there should be strong rules in place. Next time maybe you could check your sleeping at the end in your question but this blog was great!

Hey Harriet,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your feedback! We have got phones at our school but we have to put them in a box.
Thanks again,
