[English] Help, It's Issues Time !!

[Jan May]

What about teenage binge drinking? Been plenty of analysis of that issue over hols. We are going with 'apology' in Uniting Church school. Seen rightly as important issue for discussion. You could try the Earth Hour. Andrew Bolt certainly got stuck in to it last week. Letters for and against in papers.

Hi Colleagues,

I think I have just about got my head around the Context work
(although if anyone else out there is teaching Identity and Belonging,
I'd love to hear from you).

But, I've been doing some planning over the break and have just
realised that "Using Language to Persuade" is coming up fast on the radar !!

Have people given any thought as to the issue they might be using.
I've looked at the apology (a bit too political perhaps, esp. in a
Christian school) and the Bay Dredging. Also a local issue of fluoride
in drinking water; but none of them really grab me at this stage.

Does anyone out there have any bright ideas or resources ?
