If i were to spend a month on a deserted island alone, i would bring these 5 items:
1) My handphone. I can communicate with my family with my handphone. I also need to bring extra phone batteries to last for a month as there would not be any socket to charge my handphone even if i were to bring my charger.
2)A torchlight.When it is night time or when the sky gets dark, the torchlight would come in handy. I would also need to bring tons of batteries for the torchlight as the torchlight would definitely run out of battery.
3)Some food and drinks enough to last 4 a month. when i am hungry or thirsty, i would be able to eat and drink to keep my tummy full so that i would not starve to death or get dehydrated and die^_^.
4)I may also bring a laptop to chat with my family if i don't want to use my handphone and chat. I must bring loooots of extra batteries and a portable broadband as there will not be any internet connection there. I may also play games on my laptop if i am not tired and can't get to sleep.
5)A first-aid kit and daily neccessities. If i had forgotten to bring my torchlight with me during the time when i am exploring the island, i may get injured. That is when the first-aid kit will come in handy.

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.
