LIFE

Life is the best gift you have

So, enjoy it without regretting

Live immensely happy

As the birds in the sky.

                                                                                 

Avoid that your eyes cry of pain

On the contrary, crying of happiness and joy,

Do not blame life for your suffering

Only give thanks for this wonderful opportunity.

Removes everything that hurt you

Forget sorrows,

Cast aside envy

Strip out all the bad things of your life.

Give way to joy

Love and happiness

Tear out to life

Millions of smiles every day.

An alternative ending for “A knight’s tale”

Theseus was touched by women, so, he decided to help them. Theseus went to Creon's land, in order to exchange money for the dead bodies. They were talking for a long time looking for a suitable solution between them. But, Creon asked Theseus only one thing; he wanted to have Hippolita, so, Theseus was really angry, after that, he began to fight. When Hippolita saw them fighting , she decided to separated them, but unfortunately she died from a stab with a sword. 

After Hippolita's death, Theseus and Creon reflected about all their disagreements, so they were friends at the end.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE LITERATURE TO TEACH ENGLISH?

Is it possible to use literature to teach English?

Using literature to teach English is possible , because it allows us, not only to know the writers or maybe the history of some countries, also we, as teachers, can teach grammar or vocabulary in an implicit way. Also, students can develop their skills taking into account the methodology and the activities implemented by the teacher.

Nowadays, there are many activities that teacher can use in order to develop a literature class. Students have a lot of talent to create and perform stories, so teachers can exploit it, in order to change the monotonous way to develop a literature class (only read books and books). As a teacher, I would like to implement games, performances and use of technology to develop all my English class, because students love the diversity of activities. 

I would like to work with children about fourth or fifth grade in primary school or maybe sixth or seventh grade in highschool, because they are children that want to participate in all the activities; they are more active. Due to my social work, I developed an interest to work with them. Talking about the material, I can design some worksheet, but the didactic material I can do it with my students in order to develop other skills or talents in them. 

To conclude, we can use literature to teach English because it can cover many aspects such as vocabulary or grammar. Teachers can implement a big diversity of activities to activate and develop students skills.
