What will I bring?
Mmm.... Maybe
1. torchlight
2. a small first aid bag
3. a tent
4.many bottles of mineral water
5. my camera
Why?
All the things that I bring are very important stuff. Like when it is in the night I will need a torchlight as the place that I am going is a deserted place. If I don't bring it, I will be playing blind mice in he place. A small first aid bag, well I am a person who love plasters so just a small cut I will need a plaster. But anyway carrying a first aid bag is safe, so if i am sick or I fell the first aid box will come in handy. Now the most important of all are the tent and 8 bottles of mineral water. Without a tent where am I going to sleep don't tell me in the bag where I put all my clothes? Everyone knows that without water we are not able to survive as we would be thirst to death! Lastly my camera, actually bringing the camera is not really important. But to me it is, the subject science to me is a horrific subject so in this trip would be able to take pictures of different types of plants maybe poisonous one, a leave that looked like an animal etc then bring it home and check he internet. So in this trip i may be able to brush up my subject.(interacting with things around us) :) ;)
If i could only bring 5 items i would bring ...
1) A First Aid Kit
2) Matches
3) Swiss Army Knife
4) A Huge Water bottle
5) A Tent
Why would i bring those items? well the first aid kit is just in case i get injured, with it i can clean my wounds and prevent it from getting infected. Matches so i can make a fire to cook food on and to give me light. Swiss Army Knife,to cut stuff with and many others things as it is a multipurpose tool. Huge Water bottle,so that i do not get dehydrated. And lastly a tent, to sleep in and protect myself from the weather.

What i would bring :
1) a first aid kit
2) lighter
3) sleeping bag
4) knife
5) lots and lots of water

Why :
I would bring a first aid kit just incase i get injured and infected, a lighter is to heat things up when i am cold and it would also provide me with light when it is dark, a sleeping bag for me to sleep on because i dont get used to sleeping on a hard surface without any blanket covering me and i do not want to get dirty, knife is for my protection and defense if there is anyone trying to hurt me and it is also useful for me to cut or slice somthing, water is to quench my thirst if i am thirsty or exhausted.

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.
