POST 6: CHILDREN

This week you have chosen to write about children. I'm sure that you as future teachers have a lot to say about this topic.

Here are some questions to guide your composition.

Your childhood:

· Were there many children in your family?

· When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

· What was your favourite game when you were a child? What did you use to play?

Your attitudes towards children:

· Do you enjoy being around children?

· What are the positive or negative things about being a child?

· Do you think that children are different today from the time when you were child? Or from 50 years ago? 100 years ago?

· What is the most important thing that we need to teach children?

Your future family:

· How many children do you have / How many would you like to have?

Remember to write from 200 to 250 words and leave comments on 3 of your classmates' posts.
