… people said,“… Look
at Jane Austen and all her
lovely letters! Oh, the
children these days: they
don’t keep diaries any
more …” But what do

In fact, they’re writing
more than Jane Austen
could ever have done.

remember it and, above
all, accurately so they will
be guided by its light.

“The blog was awesome. I wrote stories and Marcos, my uncle who lives
in Spain, read them and left comments for me!“
“People READ our blog. Greta read our blog too, but we got comments
from all over the world”
“The blog was the best, I blogged all the time, when I was happy, sick,
bored… all the time!“
“I blogged about everything I like: my friends, my pet, my thoughts. I even
blogged when I was sick and couldn’t come to school“
“I blogged about my passion: rugby”
“I wrote about our country and things that were important to me”
