24.01.2022 Like most people, Mike Lucas Author, has a silly side and a sensible side The sensible side is used for writing sensible books. And for doing sensible things like going to the bank, eating vegetables and walking his pet giraffe, Edward. Because everybody knows that giraffes do not like silliness. Mike’s silly side writes books like Bad Herbert. Bad Herbert is a very naughty ape who'll do anything for a delicious slice of chocolate cake. Check out his latest challenge here...: https://bit.ly/3iHEsWe and complete the activities Activity 1: Write a poem about an ape (any kind of ape) and send the poem to Mike at [email protected] Mike will read your poem and give you some feedback. Take Mike's email to your in-school coordinator and receive a 30-min stamp in your Passport. Activity 2: Create an orangutan bookmark then send a picture to Mike at [email protected]. Take the bookmark to show your in-school coordinator for an additional 30 minutes. If you want some tips on writing poetry, read some of Mike's POEMS and visit Mike's WRITING TOOLS page. And remember - as long as you stick to the rule, there is no right or wrong way to write your poem. And your poem is as individual as you Larrikin House
