“One
good conversation can shift the direction of change forever”
Imbibing the knowledge and maturing the power of
words and acceptance of other’s view points, Witty International School organised
‘Clash of Words - Debate Competition, ‘on 27th February 2017 for the
students of Grade IV and V. The Wittians zealously participated in the
competition challenging the counter team.
School’s mini
auditorium, SPARKLE was modified into debating chambers where the selected
students of grade IV and V split into two teams comprising of six members each.
Grade IV argued on ‘Are humans too dependent on technology?’ and Grade V on ‘Being
self-reliant always makes you lonely’. The podium was heated up with the team
leaving no moment to counter attack the opposite team to win the war of words.
The endless arguments was closely monitored by an esteemed judge, Ms Deepa
Chakraborty, a member of English Department of the Secondary Section, was
spellbind with the energy with which the young Wittians systematically put forward
their points in the three rounds – Stating their opinion, Rebuttal and
summarizing with a Closing statement.
Debate, being an art
of formally presenting an argument in a structured manner needs tremendous
training and guidance to the young students. To ensure the competition is a learning
experience for their students, the team of enthusiastic teachers mentored the
students for weeks on all the aspects of a debate, preparing them for both the
affirmative and negative side keeping the competition a fair trial. Enhancing the analyzing, language, questioning
and comprehension skills of their students, Witty International School proposes
every child to glorify their talent in the arena of communication!
