Hi students


Welcome to our new blog. We are very excited that we will be talking to one another in this way. We are going to use this blog to write a story We will all share in the creation. We are going to write a weekly installment and you will be able to comment and help me continue the story. Who knows?? We may end up with a bestseller and all live a life of luxury afterwards. The sky is the limit.

A few parts of the story may seem political but remember that we are discussing, always with respect, and in the interest of getting to know and share who we are as South Africans and welcome guests.. How about we start by taking photos in class and then we upload them? Think about who our lead character and his/her leading partner will be. At the moment I am thinking about a story based on the Sidney Poitier movie where he is invited to meet his girlfriend's
parents.

Let us take an example of where Tembeka Mobo meets Stephen Botha. Tembeka comes from Eastern Cape and she is studying engineering at CPUT. She has won the Face of Africa 2008 competition and has also won a school scholarship for Mathematics. She is very popular with both sexes. Stephen hails from Stellenbosch and is a real Matie who is not shy to pick grapes on his father's farm. He plays rugby for Stellenbosch which is where they meet.

We need suggestions as to how they meet and what happens on their first encounter. Post your ideas as comments to this blog. Make sure that you become a follower of this blog to keep up to date.
