A Tribute
February 23rd, 2009 by christo
Please take time out to visit the “Free Writing” page to the read one student’s tribute to the community of Marysville which was devastated by the recent bushfires here in the state of Victoria (Australia). She wrote this as part of a free writing task prior to the bushfires but nevertheless thought this would be fitting tribute to the people of Marysville and other similar communities which have been horribly affected by the recent tragedy. Her piece to writing shows what kind of significance a place and its people can have on the hearts and minds of those who live there or just visit. Such places therefore never die as long as others remember and the will and commitment exits to rebuild and move forward to a promising future. And we know and have faith that the community of Marysville will do just that.

Free Writing
February 22nd, 2009 by christo
Some of the best writing from students can occur when so many of the restrictions we teachers are apt to impose are removed. Often it is enough just to let students put pen to paper and write on topics which suit them. On the free writing page on this blog you’ll see some examples. All that was provided were topics, some of which were creative while other topics asked the students to put forward their opinions or argue a particular case. There weren’t even any length limits. It’s a great way to see where your students are at the start of the year too. Check the examples out on the following link;
