I'm happy for you to use material from my blog if it will help teachers or students elsewhere. Debating is a very powerful tool for building reading/writing skills and self esteem. You don't expect new debaters to know all the rules or talk like government officials or professionals. So first drop the high expectations. The first step is to get them learning about the topic- all the points of view. Next you ask them what they think about it, what could happen, how it might affect others. Then you help them organise their thoughts and let them stand up and having a go. If they can be applauded for their efforts and shown 1 thing to work on for next time....their willingness to write and read will grow. Lesli Grant GOZONE Debating Owner and Coach Hi Tula

I learn one thing on completely different blogs everyday. It is good to be stimulating by the content from other writers and follow something from their store. I’d desire to use some of the content material on my blog if you don’t mind. Naturally I’ll give you a hyperlink in your net blog. Thanks for sharing. Good post.

Having said that, I beg your pardon, because I can not subscribe to your whole plan, all be it stimulating none the less. It would seem to us that your remarks are actually not totally justified and in simple fact you are your self not completely convinced of your point. In any case I did enjoy looking at it.

She picked up plenty of things, which include how it is like to possess an amazing coaching spirit to let the rest effortlessly comprehend a number of very confusing matters. You truly surpassed readers' expectations. Thanks for offering such good, healthy, revealing and even easy guidance on your topic to Julie.

Careful observation will bring insights. This is especially true in working with young people. They really need more people around them who are positive and believe in them. The world is a challenging place these days, they need more adults on their side, complimenting their efforts, caring about them. Are you blogging about something you are knowledgeable about? - that you care about? -that you are curious about? I don't think you can do a good job blogging unless these ingredients are present. Its only my opinion. Lesli Grant If you are really engaged with something, actively experimenting to make it work well or trying new things to assist the process than you are learning in action.

I too am an aspiring blog writer but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips and hints for beginner blog writers? I'd really appreciate it.
