Writing Fix (online resource) Here's an interesting free resource for anyone involved in teaching or learning writing skills. This site has been put together by the writers, teachers and students of the Northern Nevada Writing Project to support the development of writing skills with the Six Trait Model. The site hosts an extensive collection of lessons, activities and other resources. (The Writing Fix is one of 190 web sites sponsored by the National Writing Project in the US.) Featured prominently at the Writing Fix are two separate "prompt generators". One is called the "Interactive Instant Plot Creator". You press separate buttons to bring up random suggestions for setting, character, and conflict. To go along with this idea generator, there is a downloadable "pre-writing worksheet" as well as a "rough draft worksheet". The other generator is called the "Random Prompt Generator for Writers". This second prompt generator consists of 470 prompts, each of which begins with a question that is followed by a suggested writing task.

this could be fun.... Supported by the Brisbane Writers' Festival the Online Literature Festival offered the opportunity for teachers and students across Australia to meet and work with their favourite authors and illustrators. Students from Prep to Year 12 had the opportunity to interact with special online guests through a variety of web tools. Students can demonstrate their digital literacy skills through participation in a Book Rap based on their favourite Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) short listed title.

For low skilled learners, Foreign language learners, esl learners - very useful tool.

Develop an understanding of the importance of groups, and an awareness of the skills necessary for creating a successful group dynamic. When i licked on this site it did not look as it should - like a square images squashed into wide screen...but the activity sounds good for yr 8
