After the recent hatchet debate, it had changed my prception of myself when you feel your answers are not correct, it may just be the correct answer. I had also learnt that alternate answers will be much better, and this also connects to composition. This debate is not only about english literature, it is also practice for our oral and listening comprehension. This debate also connects to science when we talked about the ''sloshing oil'' and kinetic energy. The author showed his feelings that he felt and it was very clear.

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

The debate was very nice. I like it very much.It has fully change my perception of that the debate was very serious but our class's was fun and relax. It let me could say out why i think and this was fitting my learning style if i was wrong other classmate would let me why i wrong so it was a good lesson.This debate had influenced that the english could be preceive in a such a fun way and now i had started to interested in Literature because it could be written in a such a great vocabular to captivate heart ang mind of reader like it would give us some clue before some things happened so it would let the reader to know what would happened next so the reader would keep read on at last i just wanted to say that the debate was really fantastic and fun i like it very much. yiwen

Different people have different way of seeing things.Sometimes the way otehers see things may be better and make more sense than what i am thinking.No matter how differently someone see thinks,it always have its right point.Unless it is totlly not relevent to the question.Listening to others on what they think isalso important during a debate.It truely did help in my listening skills.It is like an hour of listening comprehension just that it is much more interesting.Engish is like a very horrible subject tome,not to say literature.I had never ever related debating to English.I had never thought it would ever be related but it ended up that it actually relates very well.While I was enjoying the debate,i did not know theat actualluy the words or phrases can be used in compositions.Just a little change to the words and there a very good new and original phrase.The aurthor used words, just words but words with deep meaning.Thinking a little deeper to the meaning of the word, the word has great meaning.

.After this debate,I learned to talk more, and felt that I changed from my previous years.

.It fitted my learning style as it helped me to practice oral, and it was fun and interesting. And it helped me to speak up for myself.

.Yes. At first I thought Literature and English was very boring, but after the debate I now think it is very interesting and fun.

.The debate shows us that the authors uses words and phrases that describe his feelings a lot and some of the sentences in the book could make us visualize what is happening during that time of the day.

The debate was so fun!It had totally change my perception of there were not only one thoughts was correct and there were lots of thoughts that i did not think about and they made perfect senses.Thank you for letting me i was wrong.
It had also influenced the way i perceive English.I did not went any Literature class so i do not know.Last few years,teachers only teach in 'form'way,means took out textbook and teach teach teach then do do do, some times must use different ways of teaching, so we will able to learn more things!Mrs Chien, thank you for thinking out so much fun learning for us, i really enjoyed it.

I think I did not do my best in the debate as I did not say what ever is in my mind. But at least i have connected whatever the question was.The debate helped me to understand some of the tricks used during hatchet and let me know what my friends are thinking.After the debate and activities of hatchet,I realised that 'hey,English and Literature are not as boring as what i thought,'i have started to understand that the author of hatchet use these tricks to show instead of tell the
reader.

I did really enjoy the debate it was like wow so real i hope it may come to television(joking:)-a lot of us speak out and share our thoughts we did also discuss about the answers-after this debate i think all subjects should be taught by playing and at the same time learning this will made the child have more interest in the subject now i like english and composition science which i thought is boring come alive
-i hope we will have more debate It is So Fun!

This debate allowed me to learn how to stand up for the right and for the wrong. It affected my perception of myself as it told me that others thinking may not be the same as you. However, others thinking can also make a whole lot of sense that i did not thought about.
It fitted my learning stlye as it was fun and interesting. We can learn how to speak up to train for our oral and learn how to make all our ideas into one good phrase. It also helps with the composition writing.
Yes, it has influenced the way i learn English and Literature. I used to think that Literature would be a very boring subject. However, after having Literature classes with Mrs Chien, I realised that Literature could be so exciting! It affected the way i learn as now i know that learning is not only reading and writing on blank pieces of paper. I now know that thinking out of the box and always relating what you now to what you are doing will always come in handy.
It showed us that the author used a variety of adjectives to describe the actions and others. It also used short sentences with strong vocabulary to captivate our heart and mind. It taught me that when we are writing a composition, not making the story boring and having another idea would be the best! Its best to be extraordinary!!

-After this debate i think that i can talk,i can talk infront of everybody.I felt that i have changed from when i realise i wasn't like this I felt different a change for the better.
-To practise oral,maybe because i didn't get to practise this way at home or any where else i felt a little nervous that first but after i raised my hand and talk well...it wasn't that bad at all.
-Not really.I think English and Literature is fun in some kind of way,and i have always think that english is interesting~Never ending words,no-matter how old you are how good you are,knowing all the words in the world is something kind of impossible.It is a never stop learning subject.
-The author uses alot of discribing words and always gives us clues on what is happening next and they discribe what the characters are doing,thinking,gives us the idea of the place the surrounding,the look sometimes they write stories with interesting storyline or with jokes and even imagination from the characters-all of this makes a book the best and hard to put down.
