Writing from words of the day
The writers
purloined the words of the day and pummelled them into the following
propaganda: Helene – In Parliament House, Wendy – When I met a hustler, Cath –
Emotions, Roslyn – Birds on the roof, Juan – A friend from childhood, Lynn –
Tiny feet, Terry – From the Parson – a great poem, David – In a dreamlike state
and Elizabeth memories.
Five pedantic
writers produced the following perfect homework: Roslyn - Ten men at my feet,
Juan – A most memorable trip to Mars, David – My first holiday, Elizabeth
