Welcome back from holidays everyone.
I have managed to comment on just about everybodies blogs over the holidays and noticed there are one or 2 people in 8 Red who have not even started their blog, and a more than a few people in 7 Blue who have not emailed me their blog title so I can tick them off as having completed the set tasks. IF THIS IS YOU — PLEASE FIX IT !!!!

What’s been happening in the news that has interested you, excited or concerned you, upset or delighted you, where have you heard it reported, what were the facts, the problem, the result, how did you feel, what did you think, were you inspired to do something??????
Write about it.


Use the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, HOW, WHY principle for your writing.
Refer to news articles like http://www.smh.com.au/  or http://www.news.com.au/ . for your ideas OR (Gasp ! Horror !) – check out the print copies in the library.

Stuck for an idea? Think Beaconsfield miners, Sophie etc….
