Name of guest speaker: Stephen Murray
Organisation: inspireland
Date: 6th of November
What was discussed: We began the morning introducing ourselves. Steve started us off with an exercise. He told us a story about what happened to our dream boy/girl. The story was how someone kissed him and your family. They also killed your pet. We had to type what we would do to them after all that.
The next exercise was to write down three things we love and hate about girls and boys. We then discussed our ideas. After that he showed us two videos of poems that were different to what we learned in school. They were read and told differently. They were inspiring and got the story across in my opinion.
Finally, we did a few more exercises then we had to submit a poem on the inspireland website.
Reflection: I learned how people feel at school when they are bullied. I also learned what others think about girls and boys in general. I will always remember the videos he showed us as they made poetry modern and not so boring from the poetry we learn in school. This helped me achieve my aims and objectives for the year as I learned things I didn't know before.
