Words of the Day

Garry…Reflective introvert…writers are often described so. Leonie… leporine…rabbit like; Geoff…irresolute…indecisive, dithering; Robyn… ramifications…consequences resulting from an action; Wendy…wifty….silly, inane; David…mnemonics…pattern of letters to aid the memory; Cath…synesthaesia…seeing letters/numbers in colour; Terry…arrant…downright (as in downright liar)

Quick write, 10 minutes, using all the words, brought out the cleverness of the Poets and Writers

Homework: ……the baby sitter saw a disturbing photograph

Once again, the Poets and Writers expressed themselves admirably.

Discussion:

David R shared about how he writes daily and read an example ‘poem’ about togetherness

Homework

Leonie shared about ‘TIME’ : in time, on time, out of time, best time and many other things related to, TIME, so our topic for homework is : TIME
