This is my teaching blog for my grade 11 Literature students at Ming Dao High School’s DP Language and Literature program. A scriptorium was a ‘writing room’ used by monks in during the Middle Ages. For us, it is a mental space for students to author their own texts in a safe environment. Either way, the scriptorium is a place for you to pick up a pen – er, keyboard – and do some writing!
