Student Reflections, 224Q

Rosalina Lee’s students at 224Q — The Shurgan Knights — shared their thoughts on this year’s season:

 

Nicholas Watson: “I like being the opening statement on the debate because I like being first”.

 

Christa Marks: “My experience during the debate was pretty awesome. I like the teamwork and the hard work going towards the debate. This debate made my speaking and reading improve. There are also flaws that make me annoyed about the debate like my counting on my teammates, emotional things going through people minds. Also, more debate time would help, like instead of 2 minutes so 3 minutes would be helpful”.

 

William Pender: “I really liked this debate because the subjects are what is going on in real life”.

 

Antonio Lyons: “I had a good experience with the debate. I also like the topic that was giving to us was really good to discuss about. I did not like the timing to start the debates. I think that the debate should start at 9:30am instead of 10:00am”.

Thank you, debaters, for your input and honesty.

Memories of the Finals

Teacher Antonio Vastano, 25R, shared some thoughts on preparing for last year’s live debate while on the Staten Island ferry:

Haha. Last year I was helping them [the 25R Panthers] tuck shirts and tie neck ties on the boat. Our team captain, Samson Loriston, was one of several being groomed. That’s our best time to prep. They feel like a million bucks during that half hour.”
