If i am on a deserted island for one month, I would bring the following five items:

1) First Aid Kit
Reason:
In case i got injured, I would need something to cover my wound.

2) Water Bottle
Reason:
We cannot drink seawater and dew water is too little for a person. (I think)

3) Knife
Reason:
I can use it to collect woods by cutting down trees and making fire AND making a spear to catch fish.

4) A Toy OR A Robot
Reason:
To prevent myself from dying from boredom.

5) Sleeping Bag
Reason:
I would not like to sleep on the sand or on the filty grass.

If i am in a deserted island, i would bring.....

  1. first aid kit

i will not able to know if there is hospital ,houses or a place where i could stay when i am injured .So it will be better if i bring my first aid kid and i can use it any time when i am injured .

2. a sleeping bag

if i am cold, especially in night, i can snug in to my sleeping bag and sleep peacefully through the night.Instead of shivering ....through the night .

3.matchstick/lighter/things that can make fire

if i am cold, i can build fire, to warm myself .I might also want to leave the place so if i see a passing helicopter/plane ....passing i might want to build a very large fire to tell people that i am here!!!

4.bottles(with lots and lots of water!!!)maybe a kettle

i would never want to drink seawater!!!!I would drink up all the water from the bottles i bring.After i finish ,i would like to use my lighter(things that produce heat)to heat up the seawater. than i will get fresh water!

5.book

oh ! also not to forget about a book! Your favourite book or other things that keep u away from boredom !!!If you are the only person at the island, you sure will feel bored

sorry that i wrote to much [if] 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.
