Testimonials
Sandhya Parappukkaran’s session was focused on brainstorming ideas for writing topics. The students left the session truly inspired, begging to continue with their ideas when we returned to class. We have since been able to use these techniques in the classroom.
This was an excellent session where the students learnt great skills, including incorporating their own cultures or special memories into their writing.
