Reading Log work/ Personal writing (Yr 10).

Kia ora tatou/Hi everyone.

Please remember that your reading log sheet entry on a poem is due on Friday. (Well done to those of you who have handed in the work early).

In our next class we'll discuss what makes a piece of personal writing interesting. I want you you to think about a time when you have strange, different, alien and out of place. When have you ever felt like a freak? (I have so many times!) But let's not go there . . .

I want you to write a mammoth four or five paragraphs on this event in your life. Write down what happened and what it felt like. (No, you will not be asked to do an embarrassing presentation: it's for my eyes only.)

Bribe: if you all make a good effort writing then (groan!) I'll force you to watch a film ...

(BTW: "Bribe" is an example of irony).
