(1) You are alone in a deserted island.Prepare a survival kit. You can only bring 5 items.
The first thing i would bring is the kettle.That's because i could take the sea water ,put it inside the kettle,collect some wood and find two stones , rub it against each other, wait four it to boil and there it is, a warm and fresh water .The fact that when you bring a big bottle filled water, it would used up for a couple of day only! (it may be a very hot weather there .) The next thing is a tent ,(a water proof one!) Well, you need shelter of course, from the rain & the hot sun!The other thing is a swiss army knife,large & expensive . In it,there is a knife that you could slice and open a coconut.A fork & to eat it,in the swiss army knifemay come in handy in eating.Then ofcourse you would need extra clothes! Even tough you are alone i stil prefer to wear something on.The last, sleeping bag. Well definately! Or else you would be sleeping on the hard ground with the thin tent material!

Reflection on Hatchet Debate

Within 1 hour, 39 pupils spoke out and shared some of their thoughts on a given topic and in so doing allowed others to have insight of their own beliefs and values - think of the 'Perfect Home' discussion.

I would like to applaud the 39 individuals for bringing such a professional quality to the debate - all contributed to its success and the 'energy' that resulted from this concerted effort will be converted into greater motivation for 6 Grace.

Please take time to reflect and share your thoughts on the following:

How did this debate affect my perceptions of myself?
In what ways did the debate fit my learning style?
Has it influenced the way I perceive English and Literature?
What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart and mind of the reader?

I had such pleasure hosting the debate and I felt the true magic of 6 Grace.

Please post your thoughts. Thank you.
