effective way. He develops his argument in a professional manner by using many reasons, as well as vivid examples and details, to persuade students and their parents that “there has to be a better way” than learning in colleges (431). Also, in the debate “More Clicks Fewer Bricks: The Lecture Hall Is Obsolete,” Agarwal and Nelson defended online self-learning by saying that self-learning online allows students to control their learning progress. They employed credible evidence and well connected…

Teaching controversial issues in the classroom through discussion is the most beneficial method for students to learn about these matters because it teaches them how to be open-minded, think critically about their own beliefs, and forces them to master their public speaking and interpersonal skills. The benefits of using discussions in classrooms to teach contentious topics are endless but the three previously mentioned have proven to be the most valuable by students, teachers, and parents…

Sarah You were a little quite on Wednesday in the first part of the IQ sessions but opened up more in the second half. However on Friday your participation was more even throughout. You did very nice board work; I liked how you engaged the entire group in labeling your drawing not because you did not know but because you wanted more people to participate in the discussion. Importantly, few times you went back to the case making connections between discussed material and patients symptoms…

Interview Analysis The mock interview assignment really helped me identify different strengths and weaknesses in interviewing. This document will be a discussion of my mock interview. I will discuss my strengths during the interview as well as my faults and what I will do in the future to adjust those. I will apply what I learned in this experience to interviews in the future. Perhaps one of the easiest weaknesses to identify in my interview was in my appearance, specifically my hat I forgot…

for my future. High School has been one huge and awkward journey that I wasn’t prepared for as a wee little eighth grader and these last three years have taught me quite a bit about the world. Freshmen year I joined the Pocatello High School’s debate team, I was a horrible debater and did not accomplish anything at tournaments, but I never quit or gave up when I lost. I stuck with the program during my sophomore year and I climbed the…

At the beginning of junior year, I decided to pursue my love for public speaking by joining my school’s Mock Trial team. After successful performances at the Los Angeles Superior Court, I was awarded the Most Valuable Participant Award by the Constitutional Rights Foundation. Our team, however, did not move on to the second round. That was not a surprise, since only nine teams out of a hundred move on each year, and Clark Magnet’s team had never made it past the first round. For me, Mock Trial…

things; I regret not starting debate early enough. In my short time with the debate team I was able to learn how to refine my vocabulary, my capacity to think well on my feet, and most importantly my ability to publically speak. Each debate was an opportunity for me to engineering a round, winning line of argument, to improve a witty retort, and crafting poignant rebuttals. Before I saw the debate team, as just arguing for fun, but after one week of being on the debate team, I was able to see…

explain why certain scenarios happened. First of, the culture we try to create and promote at the Richard Peddie Debate tournament is one of active thinking and development of general debate skills. It is not a culture of first place vs second place, we want to create a tournament that adds more then just a competition agenda. A large amount of students entering the tournament are trying debate out for the first time and we encourage them to make their début at our tournament. We believe…

On April 19, 2016, Lindsay Chang, Kayli Gribi, Jocelin Morales, Maureen Pappin, and I presented our lesson on section C of Mica Pollock’s, Everyday Antiracism: Getting Real About Race in School. A lot of work went into producing a presentation and coming up with a lesson that would best communicate the main idea of our section. There were 4 parts to this section and being that there were 5 of us we each were responsible of covering a part with the exception info Kayli and Maureen who split a…

1. On the first day of class, the Prof Khan gave us write a diagnostic essay to see where we stood from a writing point. Next, we gave all gave a small introduction of ourselves. Furthermore, we had a small debate about Donald Trump. In the debate we questioned Trump’s motives while running for president. After the discussing about Trump, Prof Khan gave us a sheet on “Thinking and Writing”. On that sheet it had this written on it “How to say something worth saying about something worth…
