Different people have different way of seeing things.Sometimes the way otehers see things may be better and make more sense than what i am thinking.No matter how differently someone see thinks,it always have its right point.Unless it is totlly not relevent to the question.Listening to others on what they think isalso important during a debate.It truely did help in my listening skills.It is like an hour of listening comprehension just that it is much more interesting.Engish is like a very horrible subject tome,not to say literature.I had never ever related debating to English.I had never thought it would ever be related but it ended up that it actually relates very well.While I was enjoying the debate,i did not know theat actualluy the words or phrases can be used in compositions.Just a little change to the words and there a very good new and original phrase.The aurthor used words, just words but words with deep meaning.Thinking a little deeper to the meaning of the word, the word has great meaning.

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.
