Poetry month
And here's the result of all the work students from class 10B at Emídio Garcia Secondary School in Bragança did during poetry month. Apart from everything that can be seen in the posts below there were oral presentations in class where students had to show their work, explain their options and discuss the poems they had been working on. It was hard work but it was also worth it and they did a great job. Congratulations, class!

The students created several posters using their own photographs to illustrate the poem or parts of it.

Tonight at noon by Adrian Henri
The students read the poem and created a video to present it to class.
Then they used images from the video to create some posters which can be seen in this slideshow:

The students also worked the text in different ways. They rewrote the text beginning with Tonight at midnight...
Then they tried to expand the poem keeping the meaning and style...
And they adapted the original poem into Portuguese...

Sit, by Vikram Seth
The students created a Prezi based on the poem.
Sit, drink your coffee here; your work can wait awhile.
You're twenty-six, and still have some life ahead.
No need for wit; just talk vacuities, and I'll
Reciprocate in kind, or laugh at you instead.
The world is too opaque, distressing and profound.
This twenty minutes' rendezvous will make my day:
To sit here in the sun, with grackles all around,
Staring with beady eyes, and you two feet away.

Antilamentation by Dorianne Laux
You can find the original poem here.
Then the students created their own version of it.

Regret
nothing
The moments
you spent with him
The nights
that left you sleepless
The
feelings that he caused on you
The arguments
and smiles you had together
Regret
nothing
The strange
jokes that you made
The times
you were upset for no reason
The night he
cuddled you to sleep
All the
smiles on his face
Regret
nothing
The days you didn't follow her advice
The days
you came home crying and she just hugged you
All the
times you yelled at her
All the times
that you told her "I love you"
Regret
nothing
The days
you fell asleep with him
The moments
when you didn't want to see him
Everything
he taught you
And don't
regret being proud of him.
Work by Ariana Fernandes and Daniela Galvão
The magic box, Kit Wright
Dead thick by Brian Patten
One of the students recorded the poem and the other mimed it creating a short video.
Then they attempted a translation into Portuguese.

Como
uma porta
Não. Não tenho acompanhado as coisas modernas.
Não leio um livro há anos.
Livros de estudo? Alguns, mas nada de novo.
Reparem, não é que eu não
Tenha vontade, só que
Tenha vontade, só que
Nada captou a minha atenção.
Mesmo assim, eu gosto do que li: Hardy,
Golding, folheio
Graham Greene se tiver de ser.
Mas não, nada de novo. Reparem
Eu leio as críticas. Elas contêm
Muitas observações.
Após ler algumas vejo que
Posso criar a minha própria opinião.
Estou muito ocupado para a literatura, é esse o problema.
Estou à espera de uma promoção. Idealmente o que eu
gostaria
Era um trabalho em administração.
O que é que eu faço? Ensino. Inglês.
É cansativo. Os alunos são burros.
Não têm nada entre as orelhas.
Sabe que mais? Alguns deles
Não lêem um livro há anos.
