"   My mother’s volumes are great books with blood red pages and bound in the deepest shades of purple. The ghost stories they contain used to speak to me in my sleep, whispering spells in my delicate, elf shaped ears. I only ever saw…"

"I think that would be the best way. I only have two students per story - one from  Y7 and one from Y9 - but I can't see why it wouldn't be ok to have a group doing it. You'd probably want to nominate one student to write the…"

Karen King - Oakbank School replied to Anne Robinson, Dixie Grammar's discussion Tips for helping Write Path to run smoothly?
"Hi Ellie, No, it's one paragraph per story - like an extended game of Consequences! You have one group per story, and they add the next paragraph to the narrative. They will only be concluding the story if you're the last school of the…"

So sorry to PS4 for the delay in getting our paragraphs up and all the best of luck finishing the stories.

 

We had fun with them eventually, after three of our Year 7's forgot to come down to the LRC and we had to set out hunting for them!! We also had a little confusion about the following on, but in the end they all did a really good job with the stories they worked on.
