An overall view from our semester in Starter 4...


We have made a project with classical books. It started before the Cultural Week. We were researching about architecture (Ramos de Azevedo and Antonio Gaudi) but the teacher told us something about literature.
We have read four books: Emma and Persuasion, by Jane Austin; Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë; And King Solomon’s mines, by H. Rider Haggard.

Our class was divided in 4 groups, and each pair was responsible for a different novel.

After one month, we were ready to present the stories. Some of us presented it like a class, others roleplayed it and others made an interview! It was really fun!

We all have enjoyed reading these books about romance, drama and adventure! We have had a chance to see that we can already understand many things in English and communicate with other students!

Hi, Folks!

This is what an “inspired”, amazing student of mine produced after revising the use of WISHES. She accepted the suggestion to create a song and here it goes:


I can’t go back in time

I wish I knew better
How to live my life
If you stay with me
Maybe I’ll decide

I wish I had not
Forgotten to say goodbye
Will you forgive me?
‘Cause I can’t see you cry

I wish we hadn’t had so many fights
We can make it if we try

I only wish I could go back in time
To say to you how I love you
If only you would come back to my life
I wish you would want me with you

But there’s nothing I can do
If you don’t want me here with you
Now I know I can’t go back in time
If only you would be all mine

Nathan's Song

Today I found my best friend
Today I found who gave his life for me
Today I found who died on the cross for me

Chorus:
I praise, I say
Jesus is my friend

In the moment of sadness
When everything seems lost
I know that he is the only one
Who can help me
I know that he's the one
Who can save me
