Today has actually been a great day (one of the few this semester). I actually woke up on time this morning so I wasn’t in a terrible rush. Then I got to English class and got to be vice president. I must say that Yasir and I presented ourselves quite well…even with that China comment. Anyway, Taylor’s group did pretty well also. April did okay for a little while until she was talked into a corner. However, I must say that Krystal did pretty bad. It’s unfortunate really, but it’s true. Then there was the press core. They all did pretty good except for one…you know who it is if you were in the class. This was another great exercise presented by Wendy. I’ve never had such an interactive class.
Besides the fact that it was fun, it was also a learning experience. The goal, in my opinion at least, was to teach us how to connect two arguments. It also taught us, well some of us, how to defend and tear down an argument. It is actually really helpful when you get thrust right into the midst of an argument, especially when someone tell you which position to defend.

We did that in our class today, too. I thought it was really cool. I did not get to be a president..but I got to ask a lot of questions! I thought today was one of the cooler classes we have had.. definitely way better than sitting and having regular class.
Ah another post about today's class. I wished in class to be able to participate. At least you enjoyed it and it was another interactive day!
Ok so I think I did better than ok lol! No I am just kidding. I did get backed into a corner, and I had no where to go. Other than that I think I did okay. Anyways, I would make a great Hillary lol!!! Well I really enjoyed Thursday's class. I think you and Yasir would make some freakin mean President and Vice-President, but you would get some things done.
yeah i ended up going to the 940 class and doing it and it was a totally cool experience. and i can't imagine why those people did bad lol. i really like the way it made people think on their feet more so than the debate did. you know.
