Writing, one of the original “Three R’s”, was on
the minds of many at Gretna Green Elementary School in Miramichi on Thursday
morning November 21st. Nineteen Miramichi Valley High School students became
teachers of English at various elementary grade levels and delivered lessons in
creative writing. The project, developed by MVHS teacher Mrs. Krista Cabel,
with the support of staff at Gretna Green, was designed to help her high school
Writing 110 students develop their own creative writing techniques and at the
same time share them with other young minds. The opportunity gave the
older students a chance also to explore the idea of becoming school
teachers as many will soon be graduating and making their career choices.
The visitors appeared to be well received with the elementary school students
responding to the lessons enthusiastically. For photos visit “A Taste of Teaching”.
