Haiku: part 2

These are the haiku poems we wrote in our 3ºB class. Well done, poets!

                                      Love is so crazy                                        

Everybody wants to find it

Love is too special

José Manuel Guerrero

There are green forests                                                                   People are to go mad

Lots of bushes with flowers                                                            Cupido shoots his arrow

All is beautiful                                                                                 Women and men love

Lola Barba                                                                                     Antonio Carlos Jinénez

Brown and green leaves fell                                                            The sun is big

In this season I wear hats                                                                The sun makes the world shiny

Lots of rainy days                                                                           Its rays are warm

You are so pretty                                    I really love sport                          I smell the flower

You break my heart and I bleed          Football is special for me            I run on the street of spring

I can´t build my heart                               Football is my life                             I lie on the grass

Let's play Clue

During Maggie's birthday party a scream is heard from one of the bathrooms of the house. It's 8:30 pm. A few minutes later the dead body of 15-year old Alicia, one of the guests, is found. She has been hit on the head. Also found were a number of items that may lead us to the killer: a pink purse with a bottle of vanilla parfum and a hammer inside, a photograph of Alicia with Maggie's ex-boyfriend, and a handkerchief with the initials I.G. Everyone who was at the party needs to be questioned.

A title for a photograph

Let's expand our use of English by writing a sentence to title a photograph. Here are the steps:

1. Look at the photographs.
2. Choose one you like.
3. What comes up to your mind when you look at it?
4. Try to write a sentence about it.

Haiku

Today we are going to work with haiku poems, which are Japanese poems with no rhyme with a typical structure.

Spring is in the Air

by Kaitlyn Guenther

Spring is in the air
Flowers are blooming sky high
Children are laughing

Changing a story to make out a new one

This story is called A Surprise from Australia and comes from this website.

http://www.really-learn-english.com/english-short-stories-level-03-story-11.html

A Surprise from Australia

The school ends and Erica quickly puts her books in the bag and runs out of the class.

Today is a special day. Erica is very excited. She runs home and thinks about her uncle. She spoke with him on the phone a week ago. He returns from Australia, and he brings a special surprise with him!

Erica is very happy. She thinks about the surprise that he brings.

"Maybe he brings a surfboard? That is fun! I can learn how to surf!"

"Maybe he brings Australian nuts? Oh, I can eat nuts all day!"

"Or maybe he brings a kangaroo? That is not good. I don't have a place in my room for a kangaroo…"

Erica finally arrives home. Her parents are there, and her uncle is there! She is very happy to see him. They hug and she jumps up and down.

"Uncle, uncle," she calls, "what special surprise do you have for me from Australia?"

"Well," her uncle smiles and answers, "I have for you an Australian aunt!"

Now we are going to change some details in the story to create a new one. We can also try and change the ending. What do you think, is it easier to write a story from scratch or to write a new story based on an existing one?

We have to catch up with our words of the week. These are the words for this week, after such a long time.

Remember that you have to learn a new word every day that you have English in your schedule. That means Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for 1ESO, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for 2ESO and Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday for 3ESO.
