If you are looking for topics for your students to write about, this is a great site. These questions/topics could also be used in conversation classes too!

Just passing it along!

Diary Assignment at School Violates Human Rights
The National Human Rights Commission of Korea has decided Korean elementary schools have violated their students' rights by forcing them to keep a journal, a common form of homework assignment given to elementary students here.... The commission also dismissed the belief that writing a journal on a regular basis helps children form a good habit of looking back on their daily routine.... "Keeping a journal as homework can't really accomplish its initial goal of leaving one's true personal history. It shouldn't be considered the same as composition assignments."

Koreabound2004: Great site! Ignore RR!!!

Some of the topics I use with my uni students are:

My first date/kiss

The first time I drank alcohol

My most embarassing moment

My favorite childhood toy

My first best friend

One-sided love (first crush!)

The best gift my friend gave to me


As you can see, I put a lot of stress on past tense! I KNOW that the students KNOW past tense, but using it is a different story!

KB2004: Thanks for the site.

Hey RR. I guess this means I can add "Professional Korean Human Rights Violator" to my resume.

Take Care
