Bookworms. I don't even like the word. Still, it applies to me - I have been one as far back as I can remember and I cannot imagine life otherwise. The truth is that very few things match the pleasure of a good book and the joys, the knowledge it gives you. Don't tell me you don't have time to read. Don't tell me book lovers hide in books and forget to live; comfortable with second-hand experiences. Book lovers live a thousand lives, they write a thousand books, they travel in time and space. Book lovers are scary. They know so much, they have seen the depths of human souls, they have seen the light and touched the darkness, they have an understanding of things other people will never have.

"A good book should leave you slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it."

Talking turkeys

The students read the poem Talking turkeys by Benjamin Zephaniah and decided to do the following:
- write a postcard to all the people in the world as if they were a turkey complaining about their situation. They used the Postcard creator;
- illustrate the poem in a PowerPoint presentation adding their voices reading the poem.

 Here's the postcard. / Aqui está o postal.





Os alunos leram o poema Talking turkeys de Benjamin Zephaniah e decidiram escrever um postal a todos os habitantes do planeta a queixarem-se da sua situação. Usaram para tal o Postcard creator. De seguida ilustraram o poema numa apresentação em PowerPoint, tendo gravado o poema.
