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."
William Styron

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:

Tonight at noon on PhotoPeach



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...
