>> Hi Colleagues,

>> I think I have just about got my head around the Context work

>> But, I've been doing some planning over the break and have just

>> !!
>>
>> 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 ?
