Q1)How did this debate affect my perceptions of myself?
A1)This debate taught me everybody can speak up and out with just a little bit of courage. I also felt happy when I answered a question for my group.

Q2)In what ways did the debate fit my learning style?
A2)The debate has fit my learning style that learning, getting more knowledge or prior knowledge and playing can be fun all at the same time.

Q3)Has it influenced the way I perceive English and Literature?
A3)Yes it has. I started not liking English in P5 where Mr Khoo was my teacher, beacause he doesn't teach as well and just gives us worksheets and lots of homework. After this debate, I realise English and Literature is fun!

Q4)What did the debate show us about the 'tricks' authors use to captivate the heart
and mind of the reader?
A4)The authors use very strong vocabulary and shows lots of comparisons which makes use confuse sometimes why do they use them.

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:
