GUIDELINES FOR OUR WRITTEN PRODUCTION


You are latter-day RobinsonCrusoe. You are stranded on a desert island. It´s been ten days since you got shipwrecked and you start losing hope of being rescued. In order to keep track of time you decide to write a diary.Your diary will be in the format of a blog. In groups of 3 to 4 students. You have to write your impressions of your life on the island, making an account of your daily activities. For such, we will be visiting the school´s cyber room every now and then: once to start the blog (choosing a name, writing an introduction, presenting yourself, giving background information to the creation of the blog); a couple of times to add information to it, and one last time to read your mates´blogs and write comments on them. Pictures are highly welcome. Be creative. You can add ideas but cannot change the factual information in the story.

My name is Robinson Crusoe.I was born in 1950, I live in New York and I have 2 brothers.One is a soldier, his name is Diogo and the other one is a singer, his name's Alejandro.My dad is a merchant and my mom is a housewife.My dream is to be a captain.At the moment I'm just a sailor.Well, I thought so, because in my last voyage my ship sank because a huge storm hit us.I escaped 'cause I saw one island and I swam until there.When I got there I slept for 2 days.When I woke up I started looking after for other sailors.But I haven't found anyone.I was walking when I saw my ship wrecked in the beach.My first thought was "I need to get to the ship".So, I swam until there.In the ship I found a lot of things that would be useful in the island, like food, clothes, gunpowder and guns.I built a raft.I brought the things so as the dog that I found to the island.            (04/10/2010)

With those things I built my hut. And I lot of other stuff. Now I want food and I want sleep. I put up a large piece of wood on the shore where I had landed because wanted count the months and the years that I would spend there. Over the last few months, I spent a lot of time making my hut bigger and better. One day I started becoming very ill but some time later I started to prepare a medicine from tabacco. After It I started feel better. Than I travelled along the Island.       (11/11/10)

Some months later, I started to plant corn and rice. On my third year on the island I was able to pick my rice and corn. I was pleased that I migth one day have bread. I made some pots. So I could cooking. For the rest of the year on the island I made those things and looked after my corn. When the corn grew, I baked my own bread. I built a canoe. When I tried  to sailed the currents were so strong that my little boat was pulled far out to sea. But I was lucky. Around the lunch time the wind started growing. Suddenly it was very strong so I could go back to my island. I thanked God. But when I had been on the island for eleven years, I became worried that I had only a little gunpowder left. So my most important job now was to catch some goats and tame than. I hoped that I could keep tame goats and then kill them without using my gun. When I killed a goat, I dried its skin and I used the skins to make clothes to myself
