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.

Cap.7
  By the end of december my plants of corn and rice started growing very well, and while the plantation were growing, I used my time making some pots that I needed to cook. I talked very much whit my parrot and he learned very quiklly how to speak, and his first word was 'poll'. The rest of my time reading the bible every day and looking for my corn, that I could make bread.                                                                                                                                                                After eleven years on the island I was very experienced In make basktes and to plant grapes and rice, to make brad.One day I was walking on the shore with my dog skiper, and I saw a footprint!!And I started running to my home and I didn't quit my house for one week.I was scared with the footprint that wasn't mine and because I had only a gunpowder left.
  I started to protecte more my litlle home, planting more trees and expanding my walls.I was looking for another enclosures that the goats couldn't escape. I was on a part of the island that I never was before, when I suddendly saw an terribly sight: I saw cannibals eating a man, after killing him. I started thanking God that I wasn't a cannibal and for everything I have on the island.I started thinking that it was wrong to eat people and I decided to fight with them the next time they came to the island, but after a long time I started thinking that it wasn't my job to punish them, and that if I killed one, I had to kill of them because one could escape and looked for others cannibals.I against thanked God for my ideas started changing and that I was wrong about this.                                                                                          

 Cap 8
   When a had been on the island for eleven years, I became very worried that I had only a gunpowder left.So my 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.One day,when I was going to the place where I kept my boat,I saw a footprint.I hurried home,feeling teerrified.I kept looking behind me to see if someone was following me.I did not sleep that night.I lay awake in my bed  thinking about the footprint.I decided that cannibals must have come to the island.For three days, I did not go out of my hut because I was too frightened even to milk my goats.After a few days Igo back to the shore and look at the footprint again.It was much bigger than my foot.
But after a good sleep, I started to think sensibly.I just needed to make myself safe in case I saw any more cannibals.Two years after I had seen the footprint in the sand,I was in a part of the island where I had never been before.And when I came down to the shore there, I saw the most terrible sight.I saw dead people lying on the sand.I could see where there had been a fire.Cannibals had come to the island to cook and eat people.I was suddenly sick.I could not stay there,so I walked back home, praying.
 For the next two years ,I was afraid that if cannibals had come to the island they would hear it.But after I while I became very angry with the cannibals.I hated the idea of people eating each other.
       
 Cap 9
One day, I was eating bread, until I feel asleep. When I hearede a sound of a gun, and saw a ship I started running to the sea and I've made a big fire to show that I was on the island. I took my little boat and started rowing to the spanish ship. When I arrived there, I saw a little dog and two men dead.
After that, my wish of escape, onde more, got very big.
One day I dreamed that I saved a man that the cannibals would kill, and he would be my servent, so, for a year I searched every day for the man on the island.
One day I saw canoes on the shore, and there were lots of cannibals. They have built a big fire and they were dancing around it, when they catch two prisoners, and killed both men, and started cutting him in little pieces and eating.I became frightened, and I became very angry of this, I decided to make something to sasve the other prisoner that was waiting for huis time, so I took my gun and started shooting, they were very scared of the sound of my gun and started running.I saved the life of the prisoner. He became very grateful for this and kissed my foot many times, in that moment I remembered my dream, and he became my servant for many years.

Cap 10
I took him to the cave, and he felt asleep. On the morning, I called him Friday because that was the day that I saved his life.And I taught him to call me Master.When the morning came, I went with Friday to the place where the two cannibals had been buried on the sand, he made signes and eat them, I showed him thast this made me feel very angry.One day I killed a goat to eat, and when I shooted, Friday became very scaryd, but I told him that i wouldn't shoot him, because he was a very honest servent.During the year, I was teaching him many things, like speak English.I loved talking to him because he speaked very well.One day I really began to love him, he was my best friend(and the only), and I believed that he loved me very much too.
He showed me the island that we could see, and was called 'Trinidad', and I learned lots of things about that island.
I also talked very much about God with Friday, and he also asked very questions, that made me feel very desapointed, because I thinked a lot myself.

Cap 11
One day Friday told me about two men that arrived on the island in a boat and he and his people saved the men from drowning, I asked ' why you didn't eat they?' and he told me that they only eat people that fight with them.Another day, we were on the top of a hill and he saw an island, and was his country, he became very happy to sea that his island wasn't so far away.I told him that I could made a canoe to he come back to his country.I asked myself if he would forget all that I teached him, and he became very upset and told me that the would teach all the people to pray God and to never eat men again.The subject finished and I told him that I would made a new canoe, he became very sad because he thinked that I was angry with him for something that he have done.I asked 'Friday you want to go back to your contry, so just do that!'.He said 'Kill me, just kill me, if you don't want to stay with me, kill me', I became very upseted and promissed that I would never talk to him about this.
althought, I made the canoe and he leraned very quickly how to row, after one week he was rowing very well.
The rainy season came and I told him that in that year we would escape.The season passed and we began getting prepared for the voyage but one day, he cajme running ino the hut and told me that he saw six boats on the shore!We went to see what was hapenning, there were about 21 cannibals, and they were killing prisioners, me and Friday went up to a tree nd we started firing at then, we killed most of them and one of the prisioners was Friday's father!!!!Friday became very happy and cryed very much to see his father.One of the prisioners was a spanish guy, and he was very scared, we gave some food and rum to him.He felt asleep and only waked up in the other day.
