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.

1) A home would prevent the sparks from going off as it is safe with no distractions and it will be easier and faster to make a fire compared to making it without a shelter.
2) It tells us that Brian thinks of the sparks as though they were alive, like a homeless human being with great importance, so he would have to build a home for them (the sparks) to "live" in.

1) The sparks need a home so the fire will not die easily and it will be easier for the fire to burst into flames quicker.
2) The way he thinks of the sparks is that they are just like people and animals. They need a place to stay to prevent them from getting wet and it will be cozy to have a home.

1.It will stop the sparks from going off and it will be quicker to make a fire than to make it with no shelter.
2.Brian thinks that the sparks is just like a homeless person who is important so, he will have to make a home for the sparks to live in.

1)A home would prevent the sparks from "not staying" and if there is no home for the sparks, there would not be any fire made.
2)Brian thinks that the sparks are living organisms just like us, humans, who needs a home. That is why he wanted to make a home for the sparks to live in.
Sorry, the previous comment was mine.

1) The home prevents the fire from going off and it is easier to make a fire again
2)He thinks that the sparks are exactly like animals and animals need a home to prevent them from getting themselves wet.
