Guess who locked herself out of home yesterday?

Yeah. It was me. Good thing Matt was only 45 minutes away.

At least it isn't as embarrassing as when I lived with Liz and locked myself inside<\i> the apartment . . .

HELP!

I'm having my usual assessment related panic, and I want to change everything. Actually just one huge thing


So tell me about a topic (or more than one) you would have liked to study in Grade seven.

HELP!!

After much soul and syllabus searching and some truly wonderful ideas that I'd love to use, but don't quite meet the criteria (damn - file them away for later use) I decided to create a literacy unit called "Persuasive Speeches and Quotable Quotes: Can Words change the World?"

Matches nicely into the history part of the SOSE syllabus and allows students to make their own persuasive speech and piece of advertising material


ETA: Also allows me to reccomend the Paul Keating Insults Page

For non-Aussies, Paul Keating was the Prime Minister before our current PM, and was noted for saying some wonderfully outrageous things, mostly in Parliment.

eg:
"Damn them for being the cheats they are."

"That you Jim? Paul Keating here. Just because you swallowed a f***ing dictionary when you were about 15 doesn't give you the right to pour a bucket of shit over the rest of us."
