For a cooperative project with Fiona Beal’s class in South Africa my students are posting an interview that they did with one of their grandparents.

I want you to tell me what your New Year’s resolution is and why you chose that particular one.

I know you are all excited about coming back to school after such a long Christmas break. I am really excited about the second half of the year. Today I want you to write me an essay about Christmas. The prompt is: What was your favorite gift at Christmas time?
