Crusoe's Blog T:84

Guidelines for our written production

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.

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…
