Saturday 21 March 2009

if i were left alone and had to spend one month on a deserted island,i would prepare...

1)A big bottle of water and some empty bottles.The bottle of water would last me for a while until i find a lake or river to fill up my other bottles.

2)A small pot to cook my food and boil the water i got from the rivers or lakes to make sure it is safe to drink.

3)A torchlight and some spare batteries.In the wild,the only light source are the sun and the moon.But at night,the sun would be down and the moon light will be very dim.If the moon is blocked out,there will not be light to help me find my way.

4)A few boxes of match sticks to start a fire to cook my food.And in the wild,it is very cold at night.I would need a camp fire to keep me warm.

5)A windbreaker or a raincoat.In the wild,the nights can be very chilly.Even in the afternoon,if it rains,it will be cold too.So i need a windbreaker to keep me from getting a chill and to shelter me from the rain if the shelter i have is not enough to keep the rain out.

6)A pocket knife.In case i was attack by any wild animals,i have a weapon to protect myself with.And maybe to cut up some edible fruits i might find in the wild.

7)A first-aid kit.If i were to get injured,i can bandage the wound so it will not be infected,it will heal faster and i can keep it from getting scratched by any sharp objects again.

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.
