Analysis of Assessment Task in Room 15
They timidly enter the room
Each face reflecting their inner turmoil
of a first assessment task
Wishing they had never heard the name
" Peter Skrzynecki"
Whose words they have dissected
and discussed like a litany for the past two months
Some enthused, some appalled
Some frightened, whereas a few
seem somehow exempted from it all
" Leaving Home"
"Postcard"
"Migarnt Hostel"
The words stream in
as the brain connects
and unscrambles
and the pen directed writes
Their essay, their exposition
Their first assessment task of the year!
