Remember: the spelling checker is NOT your friend - it tolled me sew!

Just to clarify a couple of points: this is a trial site for those classes in X9 ONLY. We add resources that we have been using and post messages of interest to the class. Some of the dropdown menus do not work yet - shown as 'dead'! J In short we are slowly evaluating the sort of things we could use this blog for within Room X9 English lessons and to prepare ourselves for the Scottish Schools Digital Network (GLOW) once it goes live in the near future.

Please note that this is not an official Elgin Academy site and all opinions, messages and comments are those of the authors not Elgin Academy or the Moray Council.

Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.
