Sunday 19 April 2009

I also had debates in Mr khan's class last year. Debates help me have more creativity from what i think,i love talking too but sometimes i really have no idea.This time, the debate was in 8 groups unlike last year, there were only 2 teams paticipating, while the 'floor' was those pupils who were not paticipating in the debate. I am quite interested in literature so next year, i would most likely opt for it. This debate was about the Hatchet book. 'Tricks' that authors use may not be some kind of 'big' words, it may be some simple words like hammering and snapped open. These 'little' words that the authors used will make the reader understand what is happening in the story. I want more debates during this year^_^

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.
