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

[Pennie White]

Hi Max,

I am teaching Y12 English at Monbulk College and we have chosen Identity and
Belonging for our context. I am currently reading Catcher in the Rye I was
also looking to share conversations and resources about this.

Perhaps we could migrate to a ning community like Jo McClea has set up for
Encountering Conflicts at http://year12.ning.com/

I have set up a space for called VCE English Teachers and we could discuss
the Identity and Belonging here http://vceeng.ning.com/

Regards,

Pennie White
