We hope you’re all busy writing your entries for our creative writing competition. You now have an
exciting opportunity to bring your ‘somewhere unforgettable’ to life by creating an illustration for
the creative writing book.
Your picture can illustrate the place you described in your creative writing piece or can be of somewhere completely
different. You don’t have to have written a story to enter. Download the template from the Global Classroom and submit
your entry by Thursday 16 April 2015.
Competition winners will have their illustrations published in
the creative writing book.
Global Classroom Netiquette
The Great Debate
This month’s debate motion is...
‘Testing on animals is the only way to
make sure that medicines are safe for
humans’.
What do you think? Do some research,
decide on your point of view then argue
your point online with students from
around the world.
You have until Friday 20 February to
make your case.
Posting online is different to having a face to face conversation with
someone. You need to think carefully about what you are writing,
read what other people have put, and check back regularly to see
if anyone has responded. The Global Classroom has a social code
to keep everyone safe and happy. We call this ‘netiquette’ and in
different places around the Global Classroom, you’ll see a video
that tells you more.
At your fingertips is a really unique space where you can connect
with 20,000 students around the world. Make the most of it and
check out our top tips on how to be a tip top poster!
See if you can watch the video and learn something new about
building a
community.
