If you read my last blog post, you will know what this post is about. I’m not going to rewrite that post, so just go read it here.
After an AMAZING response to my previous request for mentors (all students had a mentor within 24 hours of the post being published!), some more of my students have asked if I can find them mentors. These students have spent some time looking on their own, but haven’t been successful – I think they now know the power of having a strong online network!
So below is a list of the topics my students are focusing on, and if you’re keen to mentor one, just post a comment below with your preferred topic and I will arrange for you to join our edmodo group. Thanks so much in advance – it’s a great opportunity for all involved!

Hi Bianca, I am happy to support Student 15 – personal essay on the appeal of Ellen Hopkins & Crank. I would be very interested to see what s/he thought and am getting to be a whiz at personal essay feedback!! Paula
