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.

Ideas for your Blog

I was born in the year 1632 in the city of York in England. I had two brothers. One became a soldier and was killed in a battle in France. I do not know what happened to my other brother. My father hoped I would become a merchant, but I wanted to go to sea. Although my mother and father did not want me to go, my desire was so strong that I ignored their wishes.



Now I’m stranded on an island by myself. I don’t know where I am. I’ve taken some things from the ship and I’ve built a shelter. As I’m not sure what I can find here, I’ve built a fence around my shelter. I’ve been ill and I thought I was going to die. That was when I started thinking about God. Since then I’ve been reading the Bible every day. I’ve also started to plan my time and pretty soon I’m going to explore the island…

Ideas for your Blog

I was better again, I had been there by ten months. My hut was destroyed, and I needed to find raw material to  built another hut. I started by following the river. Further on I came into a woodland which had lots of fruit, like oranges, lemon and lime trees . My exploration lasted three days. I slept on a tree and then I returned home. I took some fruit with me to use like food. I built a new hut, and I planted some rice and corn.It was the end of December, and I was ready to pick up my corn and my rice and to replant it. I improvised a pot, just for cook , but I was really happy. But a thing was troubling me. I couldn't stop thinking about that land that I've seen in the other side of the island.        

Robinson Crusoe
 


But , at first , I went on exploring the island to know where I was, how I could escape the island, and then I had a good idea;  I decided to make a canoe, to escape from there. I spent a long time preparing it, but when I tried to put it into the water, it was too heavy.I made a new canoe, smaller than the first one .I took some food, my gun and two coats, but I waited some days because the wheather was bad and put my boat on the sea. But I couldn't go on my travel. I caught some goats and tamed them .One day I felt very frightened because I saw some footprints .I passed three days in my hut. To make myself safe I built another wall around my hut and planted a lot of trees too. Two years later I saw a boat some miles away in the sea.It was the cannibals.I found a cave and put my gunpowder and my guns in that.I was frightened because there were cannibals in the island. I thought that if I save the life of the cannibal who was going to be killed , he could help me getting out of the island . Now I needed to make it , like I made. The cannibal who I saved wanted to be my slave because he kissed the ground by my feet . I called him  Friday because that was the day when I save his life . I became very angry with him when he wanted to eat tow cannibals that were buried in the sand .I  didn't want to send back to his country because  there weren't the Christian religion was not accepted by the citizens .Friday called me to see something. When I saw it ,I could see , there was a boat I tought that was European ship . I felt like a king when I saw there was people in my island.
