Writing 2nd term I: Frankenstein.


Here is another writing I did together with Eli. After reading the book of Frankenstein and watching the film, we compared them to each other.
I have to say that it's not very good because we had to do it very quickly in class. Hope you like it, though.

Writing 1st term: Sleepy Hollow II - Lady Van Tassel's Revenge

I did this writing together with Eli after watching the film of Sleepy Hollow. It is like a second part of this story and it is, of course, completely invented by us.
I hope you like it, it was the first writing I did this year, after the email.


SLEEPY HOLLOW II - LADY VAN TASSEL'S REVENGE

Once upon a time, in a small and unknown village called Sleepy Hollow, strange and terrible things took place. Many people were murdred by a headless horseman who was decapitated many years ago with his own sword. Lady Van Tassel, the mayor's wife, was the one who had taken his head from his grave and was able to control him.
Later, the horseman discovered who controlled him and who posessed his head. Then, he got his head back from the mayor's wife and went back to hell with her.
The citizens lived in peace for many years, but what they didn't know was that ten years later the murders would start again.
So, after a time, an investigator came to the village to investigate the new problems. The investigator was no one else than the young Masbath, the boy whose father had been decapitated by the horseman ten years before. He had helped Inchabod Crane, the old investigator, with the cases in Sleepy Hollow. Crane taught him a lot about his job and helped him to become a good investigator.
Masbath went to Sleepy Hollow and stayed there for one year. After loads of investigations the young man discovered that Lady Van Tassel came back from hell every night and killed the children of the village because she wanted to take revenge.
She was only a child when she saw some man decapitating the horseman in front of her, and she lived with this trauma all her life. That's why she wanted to kill every child, because she had lost her childhood and she couldn't accept that others could have a better life than her.
Sleepy Hollow's murders ended when a mysterious witch came from the mountains and cast a spell to Lady Van Tassel. From then on, the mayor's wife was locked in hell and couldn't come out anymore.
The village didn't have any more problems, and everyone lived peacefully and happily forever more.

THE END

Welcome!

Hi everyone and welcome to my portfolio!

Well, this will be the place were I'll put all the wortk I've done during this first year of Batxillerat.
What could I say about this new type of English classes we had this year? Although it was very stressing most of the time, I've really enjoyed it. I think, even if we've spend nearly the whole year complaining about too much work, we've all learnt a lot.
"This year we're gonna start the PROJECT FOR INNOVATION!"- they told us the first day, and no one of us did really know what was meant. We didn't know about three oral presentations and speakings which were waiting for us, about all the stress, work... but we didn't either know about all the things we would learn.
Ok, so this was a little introduction for this portfolio, I hope you enjoy reading my writings, watching my oral presentations, and listening to my speakings!

Bye bye!
