Today I’m talking to a couple of school groups at Lord Asquith School in Asquith. Right now, I’m with the Grade 8s, 9s and 11s. We’re going to – as a group – come up with a couple of suggestions for things that got them writing:
Think about an event you were at and write about it
Something someone said to you….what does it make you think of
Think of different emotions – how you feel happy, something that makes you mad, something that made you cry
Things you’ve heard in the news – like the Haiti earthquake, the Olympics – you could imagine you were there and write about it
Write a poem about Remembrance Day…
Get writing.
