“Wind” Essays – Topics, Themes and Ideas

I have uploaded a Word document containing a copy of the words and phrases we collected on the board of the topics and themes you could construct your paragraphs around in your essay to our Glow group site. I have also added a couple more ideas to the document, if they help.  You can access our group site here. Obviously, you will need your password to get in!

Basically, you are to use these to help you construct topic sentences for each paragraph of your essay. You can then go on to discuss the examples from the poem that link to that idea or topic.

Remember, the esssays are due in next Monday (31st January).

Good luck,
Mr K.

Welcome To The Official Kirkucopia Glow Blog

Welcome indeed. After so long in the internet wilderness, Kirkucopia has finally found an official home on Glow.

This will, over time, become the main Kirucopia blog site, running side-by-side the other one for the time being, until all issues are ironed out. Just  like the other Kirkucopia, it will provide links to websites, music and documents that help you complete your work and enhance your learning.

I will transfer some of the more recent posts from the old blog onto this one, so that there will be some continuity between the two sites.

See what you think.

Mr K.
