This debate did help boost my confidence in debates from what had happened last year [a debate ended in disaster]. Now I am not afraid anymore of debates. This debate somehow fits my style of doing work, thinking carefully before putting down an answer. However, it did not really change the way I perceive Literature as I have always liked reading Literature books like Animal Farm. The authors use top-notch vocabulary and such discriptions that make you see and feel the picture in your head. Timothy Timuari
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.
