i don't really have much self-confidence before this debate.but now i know i can speak up for myself.at the start of the debate,i wasn't sure if i wanted to do it.but after awhile,i found it quite fun and interesting.

i learned that sometimes when you speak up for yourself,you can actually learn more than when others speak out for you.and you can even find out more about yourself.so now,i will speak up and ask more questions whenever i'm in doubt.

yes.i had thought that most things that have anything to do with english and literature were boring.but now i know its not true at all.it is actually quite interesting and fun.

the author taught me alot of show not tell...and... he used quite alot of words to discribe his feelings.and he used alot of senses when trying to help us picture how it was really like in the wild.

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.
