Debate Reflection

- How well organized do you think in your group was?
I think my group work well but not like exactly organized because we sometimes don't talk to each other much. But we still help each other if someone needs help.

- How structured was your argument?
I think my argument was good enough but still need more information because in my opinion my argument is to little.

- Did you have enough evidence and facts to support your assertion (topic).
I think I have enough evidence because in my speech you can tell there is evidence because the president of Indonesia was also the evidence and yeah. But I think I need more so the other team can't rebuttal my argument.

- Do you fell your team argued your case well or could have done better?
 I think my team argued well but still when the rebuttal my team should have more good reason because when the rebuttal we also forget something that actually we have to say it.

-What do you think you did well and what could you work on to improve next time?
I think I did well when I speak but I need to add many info in there and not to nervous when I read my speech

-Do you think you used your time wisely when researching and practicing your debate?
I think  I use it wisely because at home I also practice to read my speech and at the class i research.

-Do you think you incorporated Aristotle’s persuasive techniques Ethos/Pathos and Ethos, why or why not?
No because for me I think it's hard to use they're way so i just use the PEEL one and my way.

-Which group do you feel best argued their case for each Debate?
In opinion is the Jason group because they have good evidence and good rebuttal.

-Overall give yourself a final grade out of the three criteria you were assessed against, a maximum of 21. 
I think 17-18 because I still need more information and evidence for my debate.

Police Report

As we arrived at the house of Arthur and Queenie Volupides at about 2:00 AM on January 1st, 2012. We found Arthur Volupides lying on the floor with his head at the bottom of the stairs. His wife Queenie claims that he came down for another drink and she also claims that he fell down the stairs. The evidence that we collected goes to the obvious answers. The evidence that we collected support our answers.

Looking in the background you could see a pan with food on it cooking. Going back to what Queenie said: she invited her friends from the Country Club for another drink, not snack or something related to that. As a rule people don’t normally cook at 1:00 AM in the morning. Secondly by looking at what Queenie said and Arthurs body position it doesn’t seem like Queenie is telling the truth. One of the evidences is that by looking at his body position we could tell that he was walking up the stairs. If you look closely we could see that his right foot was on the 3rd step and his left foot on the 2nd step. This also indicates that he was walking up the stairs. As a rule when you’re lying on your back you would probably be walking up the stairs. Thirdly if you look closely at Arthur's hand he is still holding his glass. As a rule whenever people fall they let go of any items in their hands. As Queenie said Arthur was coming down not going up.

We could see that nothing on the wall beside the stairs or on the stairs was disturbed/misplaced.Which makes it unlikely that he fell from the stairs. Also Arthur is still holding a glass in his hands. Which Queenie told us that he was coming down for another drink. As a rule when people fall they drop whatever they’re holding and try to grab other things to prevent them from hurting themselves and falling. If he protected himself he would’ve injured other body parts that helped him from preventing to fall. Which is strange because the autopsy stated that he only had a wound on the back of his head.

Using the evidences that we found on the scene including the use of general rules about what is wrong about these evidences, we can conclude that Queenie wasn’t telling the truth. We have supporting evidences from the scene, like Arthur’s body position and and also the objects around him. It doesn’t match what would happen normally. To finish this conclusion, we would like to say that Queenie killed Arthur, in a smart way. She used the frying pan that she used for cooking to hit Arthur in the back, that is why he has only has a bruise on the back of his head. Then he used the pan for cooking as a cover so it doesn’t look as if she hit Arthur. Also that she put a glass on his hand to look as if he is going for a refill. That is what we think happened based on the evidences that we found on the crime scene.

Crazy Taxi Ride + New Year

      

It was the 31st of December 2014, I were going to Gold coast with my family. My family and I were from Melbourne.

That morning I were going to the airport with my family, we rode a bus that can help us go to the airport. We arrive at the airport and we just do the check in stuff. Not long after that the airplane has arrive and were ready to go to Gold Coast.

After 1 hour we arrive safely to the Gold coast. We were welcome by the sunny day and the sea in Gold coast. We take a maxi cab to go to the hotel my family doesn’t get separated in the cab that’s why we use the maxi cab to go to our hotel. After that we rode maxi cab.

After about 15 to 20 min the maxi cab stopped because the red light, but then there is a crazy person that suddenly open our front door of the cab but lucky there is no one in the front door. That crazy people suddenly ask the driver that if he could join the cab but the can driver and my sister and my brother in law deny it. But suddenly the crazy person slam the and say the F word and do the middle finger to the cab driver and also mad at him luckily it was the green light so the cab driver push the gas and just go, so then we arrive safely at the hotel. The crazy person my family also thinks that may be he will go to the bus, but we don’t know. But luckily we safely arrive at the hotel.

Then the night in the beach with full of people we celebrate New Year at the beach it was very beautiful, and I was also very glad that I could celebrate New Year with a beautiful view.
