They had the time to put final tweaking on arguments, consider presentation as well as learn what moots and interjections were. <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <span style="FONT-SIZE: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">                                   <span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">  <span style="FONT-SIZE: 140%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">                                 <span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">    ==== <span style="FONT-SIZE: 90%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 110%; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> ====     __Here are some of the things that we learnt:__           Moot - Topic of an argument           Interjection - Interruption in a Debate           An interjection can be made at any time except when the leader is talking at the end of the Debate. Interjections are most commonly witty and used to tear an argument apart, but, as we found out, it may backfire and turn against you. An interjection can be ignored, used to tear the opposition apart or answered wittingly. There are three people in a Debating team. First the leaders open their side of the Argument then teams take turns speaking, one person at a time. Then the leaders sum up their side at the end. Interview about Debating program:                       What was the overall idea of the workshop? To teach children how to plan and present a debate. Did you learn this? Yes. How did the day go? Very well. What did you do all day? First we played a game so that we could get to know each other. Then we discussed what Debates were. After that we got into four teams of three and were given a topic. We studied our side and presented a debate. Then discussed what was good about it. So it was a good idea? Yes. ====
