In the debate,i realise that the author of the hatchet book
really choose his vocabulary really well .i must learn to be like him,
and choose my vocabulary as good as him in my composition ! In the debate i also learn why the author choose the word that he use in his books that made a nice story . Last year in 5grace, my teacher Mr khan had also set up debating classes,some of the debates are about "Are girls smarter than boys"....though it is fun , i think this years debating class is more useful as it really make me to speak up....(maybe i look as if i am not scared of talking to teachers,i am actually nervous sometimes!)i hope there will be more debate lesson so i can overcome my fear,and even better, i feel not scared of "quarelling"with my friends!Ha Ha.
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.
