Lord Asquith School

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.
