The Composites

Dear All


The Composites is an interesting project, by Brian Joseph Davis, which offers ‘images created using law enforcement composite sketch software and descriptions of literary characters’. Do you remember that good old identitykit activity (Sam on Radio, on Channel 9?) where the kids would compose the suspect’s face by choosing from ‘eyes, nose, mouth, hair etc’ cards? The Composites looks like a sophisticated version for more advanced learners.


Enjoy!

Happy 200th Birthday Charles Dickens!

Dear All


As you may know, yesterday, 7 February 2012, marked Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday. His characters, his plots, his words continue to inspire young and old generations across the world, and Dickens Day (200 Years & Counting) offers a great collection of links to help us celebrate!


And of course there’s always charming Google Doodle for some extra fun!

Enjoy!
