01:55and has written three books, Kylie.
01:57Three books.

02:01Can I come down?
02:03Please take a seat.
02:07I wrote a motivational book called Teenagers.
02:10It was my most recent book with my son.
02:12We published it at the Opera House.
02:14Aboriginal histories, cultures,
02:16lots of things about the power of education
02:18and how it changed my life.
02:20I really hope to inspire teachers
02:22to do the same for others, for other students.
02:24That's lovely.
02:26So you're sitting here encouraging all these children
02:29to get writing.
02:31That's right, for pieces of writing all about community
02:34and the difference that they want to make
02:36in everything they're grateful for.
02:38So they're actually writing about community.
02:40Absolutely.
02:42I'm sure some of them will be happy to share.
02:44Hello.
02:46Would any of you like to read something to me?
02:49I'd love to hear your story.

03:00getting ready to write three things I'm grateful for.
03:02Water, life, and step on the last one.
03:05Wait, being me.
03:07Well done.
03:11Would you like to go on and write books?
03:15Beautiful.

03:19that are being moved on.
03:21Of course, absolutely.
03:23Bye, everybody.
03:25Thank you for writing.
03:32So what are you teaching for the year?
03:34So today we are working on hybrid texts.
03:36We're looking at the importance of community.
03:39So I've asked them all to reflect on the communities
03:42that they feel that they are a part of,
03:44how that makes them feel,
03:46and some activities they do together.
03:48And now they're experimenting with different kinds of writing.
03:58Well, I hope you'll all enjoy it.
