TO ALL GRADE 8 STUDENTS...
GREETINGS!
With all the things that's going on around us at the moment, in connection the political situation here in Thailand, it will be too much of a waste if we did not utilize it as a topic in one of our writing exercises...so...here it is...
hehehe!
Cut out from the newspaper or print out from the internet any news article regarding the current political situation here in Thailand. It should not be a "short cut article" but rather a full article. Read it well and jot down notes about it. Then, on an
A4/F12/TNR/DS, give your opinion about it in one to two paragraphs.
Wait...wait...wait...it's definitely not that easy...! In giving your opinion about it, you are going to refrain yourself from taking sides and remain neutral.
Your political inclination should not have any bearing in whatever you are going to write. This means that whether you are for Taksin and his government or against it, you should not state that on your writing. All you have to do is react and give your opinions and comments on the article you chose---that's it!
Be as objective as possible.
I am going to give you until
Monday, 13 March 2006, to complete this task. I want a copy of the article you chose stappled with your paragraph sheets.
You can have others peer edit your drafts before writing your final one...which means you have more than enough time to come up with a good writing assignment.
Well...that's all folks...! Have a
GReight challenging moment with this assignment...and remember, the sooner you get it done the more chance you have of perfecting it since you can get to ask as many peers as you can to edit it for you. Be good...stay safe...and get going with your work-work-work...!
