2º ESO students wrote their own poems using a simple template and presented them on paper clovers to celebrate this Irish Festivity which is celebrated worldwide.First, each student received a green piece of paper and then they drew and cut out a four-leaf clover shape. .Next, they introduced this poem template:
“One leaf is for fame,
and one leaf is for wealth,
and one is for a faithful lover,
and one is to bring you glorious health.”
The students used this structure to create their own versions, changed some words and added their own ideas while keeping the same pattern. After writing their poems, they carefully wrote each line on one leaf of the clover. Then, they decorated their clovers with drawings (an Irish castle,Leprechaun,etc), patterns, and bright shades of green. Finally,students shared these poems and displayed the clovers on our Bilingual Blue Board.
In the evening classes, the students attended a conference about the history and legends of St. Patrick given by their Mathematics and History teachers, José Luis and Juan Antonio. At the end, they watched “Once”, a film which took them to Dublin.
