English Journal - the real one. ie not blog.

This one goes to all the pupils who don't pay attention in my lessons (RAWR!) and need me to keep repeating instructions/myself. It's also dedicated to those of you who make my day by visiting this site religiously (of course I'm just saying this cuz I have no idea who comes here. Save for a few of you and I'm still awaiting the diamonds and chocolates;) and who should be studying for your exams (non English!) right now.

:)

So what's the English Journal all about?


Vital Statistics: at least the size of the AHS handbook (yes the one where the RULES are written)

Purpose: For you to write. Any missing pages must be accounted for because I don't trust all of you to appreciate that only tissue paper fulfils some functions and NOT EJ paper.

What's next: Fret not I am not going to pull a tyranny and force you to write pages and pages of words (DON'T try to cheat me and write in huge handwriting!). Here's what's going to happen. You will keep it in school, and every now and then for the next month at least you WILL be forced to write in it but only for 15 min each time. As is my fancy. Of course you can flood it with words if you want to but for the lazier/vocally inclined these 15min is mandatory.

Say what? : You write whatever suits your fancy. Predominantly English though. Write about your class, how much you love/hate them, your friends, your CCAs, favourite TV shows, exercise (though why ANYONE would enjoy physical torture is beyond my understanding), your pets, English and how lessons and Ms Meghna are, assorted other lessons and related teachers, how much you love chocolate, hate marking..
oops.
Well so you get the idea. Every now and then I will probably call for it just to look through. Please don't hesitate to write just about anything in it though. It'll be confidential and I will not pick on you/complain to your other teachers about you/hate you, although depending on the content I could still end up crying my heart out.

HAHA ok kidding just write whatever you want. I won't be in AHS much longer so worry not. Besides, I just hope to get you started on writing, and hopefully you will improve.

I've always wanted to keep a journal. Have one every year but I never get beyond the first two entries=___=

N.B. Journal is where you write landmark/special/specific events of your lives, in no regular order of date. Diary is where you update on your day to day life on a regular basis.

and as a rose I bid thou farewell

Anws won't be in AHS much longer because I'll be leaving come your holidays. That's when my term here ends. Nonetheless, there's still about three weeks to go, and so far, it's been one helluva time I've had:)

TGIF again. I am so glad.

Don't get me wrong. I love you and all but who doesn't appreciate the weekend?
