February 2015 Issue 5 Secondary edition Illustration COMPETITION Calling all illustrators and artists - bring your ‘somewhere unforgettable’ to life by creating an illustration for the creative writing book. Real or imagined, your picture should transport the viewer to your chosen location. You don’t have to have written a story to enter. Simply download the template from the Global Classroom and submit your entry Thursday 16 April 2015. Competition winners will have their illustrations published in the creative writing book. Student Voice Are you For or Against? Sew… the first task set by Jurgen Gladbach was a challenge. Your Student Leaders had to bring together all of your ideas into one image. Well, it just got harder… led by your student leaders, your whole school community needs to write the lyrics to a song that best represents your school’s personality. How can you make your song different? Maybe you can make a music video to accompany the creation? Hmmm… and maybe there should be extra points if you can get the teachers involved too! The motion: ‘Adverts that target children under 13 should be banned.’ Is advertising targeted at children acceptable or completely unethical? Do your research, plan your argument and state your case online. You have until Friday 20 February to debate this motion with students from around the world.
