Y12: Welcome to my y12!

Welcome.

Well done for getting your blogs up and running.

A reminder of your homework: a blog post showing how even a perfectly ordinary item can have significance once it enters a narrative.

For example...

A PIECE OF PAPER ON THE FLOOR

Once a narrative makes reference to something, it shows that the writer has deemed that item to be significant to his narrative. A piece of paper on the floor might not be significant at all in real life, but once included within a narrative it could later be revealed that it was really:

A treasure map;
a top-secret governement document revealing a deadly plot;
a draft of a suicide note from someone planning to kill themselves;
a love letter accidently dropped from someone's bag;
an assassin's hit-list.

Y12: you must choose an everyday item that might mean very little in real life and assign it significance as though it were to be included within a narrative.

Education: wow!
