Creative Writing

On March 5,  some of my students went to the School Library to meet  the writer Teresa Lopes Vieira. The writer studied law but has devoted herself to writing. She described how she had written her novels and  at the end she asked the students  to write a text suggested by the  picture that was being  showed.
Two students wrote the following rough drafts:Era uma vez um político, rico e poderoso, ia na sua carroça a dormir quando há uma rebelião e ele é atacado,sequestram-no e pedem uma elevada quantia pelo resgate. A família do político paga essa quantia, e o tal político é deixado sem cabeça à porta da mansão familiar.Manuel do Ó, nº 18, 10º HOnce upon a time there was a little boy who was black as carbon. He lived in a little village, apart from the big town of Bogota, Columbia. He had always difficulties in many ways. The food wasn't always enough and every day at least ten people (old guys or children ) died. Despite the bad living he loved that place, it was his home, where he belonged.Inês Dias, nº 11, 10º H

WORLD DAY OF POETRY

THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience)

By William Blake

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright 
In the forests of the night, 
What immortal hand or eye 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire? 

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet? 

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp? 

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee? 

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? 

1794
