If I were to be left alone and to spend one month alone on an deserted island, I would prepare...
1) A big bottle of water. Water is the essential needs of living things. Even if without food, water can still allow us to survive. In the wild, it is better to have clean water to drink than having to drink lake or river water. Water is a precious resource, therefore, it has to treasured and it will always be needed.
2) A torchlight and some spare batteries. In the wild, the only resorce of light at night would be from the moon. But it is very dim and I would not beable to see things clearly. With the torchlight, I would beable to see clearly and not be afraid of any creatures in the wild. The spare batteries will come in handy when the torch runs out of energy and i can change the batteries.
3) A box of matchsticks. It would be very cold in the wild at night
Without the heat from the Sun to keep me warm and cosy, at night I would be freezing. Therefore, I would need the matchsticks to help make a camp fire to keep me warm.
4) A windbreaker or jacket. During the night, the wind could be strong and even with the camp fire to keep me warm, it would still be cold as the fire might be put out. It is also to prevent myself from getting a chill as it might rain at times and the shelter I have might not beable to shelter me.
5) A first-aid kit. In order to prevent the injuries that I have, the first-aid kit would help to stop the infection and help make the injuries recover faster. The first-aid kit can also help with some of the things needed for survival skills.

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.
