A Little Rhyme

We have seen that in literature there are different genres where creators find their way of expressing feelings or ideas.
Fables, short stories, novels, fairy tales.
We tried writing some poems on Monday.

The formats came from this link http://ettcweb.lr.k12.nj.us/forms/newpoem.htm

And poems can also turn into songs, and as we have a gifted musician we want to share the following:
(This is the latest version)

Once upon a time
I caught a little rhyme

I set it in the brightest light
but it flew out of my sight

I chased it all over the bar
but it wasn´t very smart

I scooped it round the ice
but got lost through my eyes

I caught it in a song
but it seemed to be all wrong

# I followed it round the world
but it turned into a curl

When I fed it with a spoon
it became a blue lagoon

# I followed it round the world
but it turned into a curl

When I fed it with a spoon
it became a blue lagoon

Then it grew into a kite
and flew far out of sight...

"A Little Rhyme", lyrics GROUP 512, music Joaquín.
Yes!! we will include the music too!!!

Meeting the group

This is our group.

Find your picture, tell us who is with you in it, what do you know about these classmates, are they going to read a novel, or follow an author, leave a comment.

Another version of "Little Red Riding Hood"

Now let’s try listening to a fable. A fable always ends with ‘a brief moral observation’. Do you remember any of the most famous? Aesop’s “The Turtle and the Rabbit”?
We’ll listen to a ‘modern’ fable by James Thurber (an American writer), it begins with a very short introduction about the author and the journalist Keith Olbermann reads four fables.
Just listen to the first one. (Of course you can listen to the other ones whenever you have time)
Write the title of the fable on a piece of paper, draw the ending of this fable, and write the moral of the story, the lesson of it. Bring it on Monday August 30..

Time to share and compare

Our first activity is to share our notes on the two activities we made in class: reading the first chapter of the novel and watching the very first scene of the film.

In the comment box write a complete sentence adding your comparison to a character, a detail, a dialogue, this is what we will call 'collaborative writing'. At the end of the activity we'll have a summary of this comparison. Go ahead! DON'T FORGET TO SIGN YOUR NAME.
