How did this debate affect my perceptions of myself?
Before the debate it thought that our team would not participate a lot but i was wrong we actually cracked our brains .


In what ways did the debate fit my learning style? Has it influenced the way I perceive English
and Literature?
The debate was fun and it also helps in my oral and listening skill. Yes it has influenced the way I perceive English and Literature i thought that literature was a boring subject but through this debate l realise that literature was a fun and exciting suject .


What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart and mind of the reader?
The author would use strong vocabulary to make us captivate to read on and the author would use a tick called 'develop the suspense" which he would give a bit clue by a bit before reveling what is the thing he wants.

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:
