Speech and Debate

 

In one of my expertise, classes, I’ve learned how to do a debate. We had debated on many topics like to eat meat or being vegetarian or doing the persuade talk on should students bring phone on a trip and many more. I really like to do debate because it helps me with many skill like to think fast, confident talk, persuade talk, research skill, and it’s also fun to do it. One thing that I like when I’ve learned how to do debate is how to talk with power or persuade and I had learned the three tricks to do that. Ethos, Pathos, and Logos. Ethos is an appeal to ethics, and it is a means of convincing someone of the character or credibility of the persuader. Pathos is an appeal to emotion, and is a way of convincing an audience of an argument by creating an emotional response. Logos is an appeal to logic, and is a way of persuading an audience by reason. We also do a small poster, poster to show the meaning of those three words by cutting different part of the newspaper and turned it into a poster.

Investigation

I am really interested in learning Biology, so I decided to do an investigation about Kidneys to see how it work and what its job in our body. I spend a lot of time studying in the book and online to get the background information about the kidney. It was wonderful to learn about the kidneys and what surprised me is this, kidneys is pretty crazy it can hold about 22% of our entire blood supply of any time. Kidney can filter about 1 liter of blood in one minute that mean 500 ml per minute in each kidney (there are two kidneys in our body). There are five liters of blood in our body that mean in five minutes all of our blood will pass through our kidney, so in one day our blood will filter in our kidney for about 288 times, that is crazy!
