School year 2015-16

• Our students in every partner country are creating literary pieces of work and they are also illustrating them. In  Huelva, Tomás Tocornal Fernández, an amateur artist,  has volunteered and cooperated with Erasmus Plus by drawing this amazing and meaningful piece of art:

                         

• Carmen F Nevado, together with some students at 4 ESO: Alejandro Ruíz, Alba Rivera and Daniel Alaminos have worked on rewriting poetical compositions to accompany this illustration. A HAIKU and a LIMERICK in purple. Some authors have been taken as models.

 

• Haiku

       A Japanese verse form of three unrhyming lines in five, seven, and five syllables. It creates a single, memorable image, as in these lines        

       by Kobayashi Issa, translated by Jane Hirshfield: 

            (In translating from Japanese to English, Hirshfield compresses the number of syllables.) 

           On a branch 
        floating downriver 
        a cricket, singing.

                               On a street pavement

                           throwing a childish tantrum

                           a greedy  waste bin

     As these lines by Ezra Pound:

     The apparition  of these faces  in the crowd:

     petals   on a wet, black  bough                                                    

                                                                        The apparition of these bins in the hall:

                                                 colour and civism on a dull  corner at school

 

• Limerick

A fixed light-verse form of five  lines rhyming AABBA. Edward Lear, who popularized the form, fused the third and fourth lines into a single line with internal rhyme. Limericks are traditionally bawdy or just irreverent; see Lear’s “There was an Old Man with a Beard.”

There was an Old Man with a beard,

Who said, "It is just as I feared!—

Two Owls and a Hen, four Larks and a Wren,

Have all built their nests in my beard.

 

                       There was an Old  Rubbish bucket

                   who said, “It’s just as I suspected!—

                   A round green, a yellow bin and another, blue

                   are making of me a  stinky waste deposit

 

 

• Our younger students at 1 ESO have participated actively in the activity A5 in our chronogram. They have written compositions about an ideal vegetable garden. Our Literature teacher Mr Joaquín del  Campo, has made revisions and taught them how to bind the writings into a book. Obviously recycled paper has been used!!!!!! Great workshop!!!

 

                                                              

            

• They will be translated into English.
