Well, we survived our first week. This week you began writing in your English journals. You completed the first two journal topics and after we have done ten entries, I will collect your journals for marking.
You then began the writing section of mock assessment. Many of you have finished your drafts and are ready to begin your editing for your good copies. We will continue this work on Monday.
