In the second unit, grade 9 learned about
argumentative writing & debates. Argumentative writing is a writing to
persuade the reader to agree with our topic. I also learned that we should put
several things which are topic sentence, format, counter arguments, thesis
statements, APA referencing, intro background and reasons. The assignment that
Ms. H gave to us for the Argumentative Writing is to write an essay and we have
to choose our topic by our self. My topic was "Small Lockers at
School" and I think, I have followed some of the points in the criteria. I
put the thesis statement correctly, I citate my resources, I have a clear
format, which is Pro-Pro-Con, and I use APA referencing. Although, I still need
to improve my skills in citating references and make a better essay to get a
better score.
Debate is a formal contest of Argumentation between
two teams. In debate, there are Affirmative, Opposition &
Rebuttal. I'm the first speaker of the affirmative group. I felt really nervous
but I tried to calm my self and speak louder so that my friends and the judges
can hear my voice.
