9. The use of social media - from blogging to online social networking to creation of all kinds of digital material - is central to many teenagers’ lives. Some 93% of teens use the internet, and more of them than ever are Treating it as a venue for social interaction - a place where they can Share creations, tell stories, and interact with others.

In addition to those core elements of content creation:55% of online teens ages 12-17 have created a profile on a social networking site such as Facebook or MySpace; 47% of online teens have uploaded photos where others can see them, though many restrict access to the photos in some way; and, 14% of online teens have posted videos online.

23. Creating a community of writers Writing activity

24. Celebrating cultural background I am from poetry

25. Literary Analysis activity Inference

26. Literary Analysis activity I like it when I get to the top of the road and I look out and see the mist down over the hills. It’s like a wrapped parcel and you know there’s something good inside. And I like being funny. When someone says something I like to have something funny to say back, because I like people to laugh, and I like laughing too. A funny man, that’s me. ‘Man’ might not be quite right - but ‘boy’ isn’t right either. ‘Boy’ means little kid, ‘boy’ means dirty with a filthy mind. It means ‘smart-arse’. A ‘boy’ is a servant and a slave. Well I’ve been grubby and smart all right but never a servant or a slave. Mum bossing me and getting me to mow grass and mop floors doesn’t make me a slave or a servant. That’s just something for me to moan about because I don’t like doing my share. Anyway, I’m not a slave or a servant. I’m just myself. One day I’ll call myself a man, and I won’t just be an old ‘boy’ like my father He’s gone. I’ve got an uncle that I really like, Mum’s brother, and he’s funny too. Jokes don’t stop him being a man.
