The Internet offers many wonderful opportunities for students to develop reading, writing and listening skills. It also provides classrooms to 'connect' with other classrooms and learn about different cultures, beliefs and values. Writers Connect offers classrooms an opportunity to

• develop creative writing skills

  gain an understanding of different people and cultures

  enhance reading skills

  participate in collaborative learning

• improve technology skills of email and Internet use

How do I participate? Each month, there will be a writing Theme. (see left side column) Teachers will need to register for the particular theme, via email.

What next? You will then receive a confirmation email, saying your registration is successful. 10 Classrooms a month are eligible to participate. You will also receive a schedule showing approximately when your class will write your Chapter. PLEASE NOTE : You will have 2-3 days to write your Chapter, so please ensure your students have read the previous chapters and are familiar with the story.

What do we receive? As well as developing reading and writing skills, your students will receive a downloadable E-Book of the story. They will also receive a Certificate of participation at the completion of the Book.

Register Here! All Registrations must be received by 10th of each month. Registrations received after that time, will be asked to participate in the next month's Book.
