Debate club

As I used to debate when I was in Slovakia, I am continuing with debating in Moscow in BIS. I am running debate club which is very interesting, for now we only had a few lessons but they were all indeed very interesting.Debating is very important, and useful as well.One not just learn how to argue, or debate but also the rules, and how to build up arguments.First lesson was with the highest participation and I explained to my fellow "students" the system of debating, debates, and I told to them many informations. It was very interesting I think and also they were listening carefully.Some of them expected debate at the first lesson, but that was simply just not possible:)I showed them a video from one of the competitions, I think that they understood what debating means, and how it works.Next time we met, we played games, so that they d develop their argument-skills.I have developed new skills and undertook new challenges - since I haven't run debate club before.I have also done some creativity as I have prepared the posters. I have also shown personal perseverance and provided activity for other students.I have also considered ethical implications of my actions.I also planed and initiated activities, since I am the one running the debate club, we have our English teacher Mrs.Gray supervising us.:)
