在這一天......探索有關事件的事實並迎接寫作挑戰

Join us for a fun writing challenge with a bit of a twist as we take our ideas from the date that our class takes place.
Have you ever noticed that there seems to be a National Day for all sorts of things- some are very important and some are rather obscure (looking at you, National Awkward Moments Day)? 
Are you fascinated by things that happened in the past on any given day? 
You'll fit right in with us as we find out what makes the date stand out - whether it commemorates something cool, odd or significant, or if something happened on that day that deserves exploration.
After we've found out some facts, and shared our thoughts and opinions on them- we'll create a piece of writing based on what we've learned. There will be two challenges to choose between- a creative piece of writing where you can exercise some artistic licence, and a more factual piece, which may ask you to demonstrate your powers of persuasion or reporting or perhaps a recount. 
Which will you choose?
The best thing of all is that the same event won't come around for another year, so no two classes will be the same, which means you can always jump in for another fascinating fact and a choice of challenges on another day!

Time permitting, learners will be encouraged to share their writing with the class. There is absolutely no pressure to do so, however, and, if preferred, learners can instead share their ideas via chat, upload into the classroom or send their piece of writing directly to me if they like. 
If learners don't want to share at all, that's fine too.

FYI...
Please note that as this is a One Time class, learners will have to enroll for each date separately if there's another topic that grabs their interest. 
Have a look and see what we'll be doing for the next few months...
