Easter + creative writing

Hey,

 

today we first spoke about the tradition of Easter and here is what we said about it:

 

Group 1:

Easter egg hunt:

Easter is a Christian feast.
It celebrates the re-birth of Jesus. But many people celebrate this tradition without knowing it. For pagans, it's the celebration of Spring and the end of Winter. The tradition has it that rabbits or bells drop / hide Easter eggs in people's gardens .

 

- Possible forms of chocolate:
egg - rabbit - bell
hen - bee

 

Group 2:


EASTER EGG HUNT

Many people don't know that Easter is a Christian feast. It's the celebration of the re-birth of Jesus. For pagans, it's just a moment to have fun and eat loads of chocolate. Chocolate may take many shapes, from a hen to a fish or a bell.


- "April Fool!" is what you say to people on April Fool's Day. 

 

Then you had to work in groups of 3 or 4 and build up an original fairy tale using elements from an existing one. You need to turn in your papers by mail before leaving for Greece (or by next week if you're not in Greece).

<br /> <br /> Thank you Sophie for sending in your work so far.<br /> Take care,<br /> M. Hattais.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> I will do my best to inform them.<br /> <br /> <br />
E
<br /> <br /> thanks you're great!<br /> <br /> <br /> Take care,<br /> <br /> <br /> M. Hattais.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> understood. How stupid I am ! I started to write the story with complete sentences... Fortunately, I asked you before starting the subverted version ^^<br /> Thanks for answering so fast !<br /> <br /> <br />
E
<br /> <br /> No problem : )<br /> And don't worry you're NOT stupid at all! If you didn't understand properly, I'm sure many other students will have<br /> troubles completing this exercise before going to Greece or China... I hope they will also send me an email... Could you make sure that the students in the group have understood what has to be<br /> done...? Thanks in advance.<br /> <br /> <br /> Take care,<br /> M. Hattais.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> I don't understand what we have to do before going to Greece. For example, I'm working on the facts of Peter Pan : I have to tell the real story? the subverted story? Both?<br /> <br /> <br />
E
<br /> <br /> Hey Juliette,<br /> <br /> <br /> indeed, you have to write both..., i.e. make a list of events from the real story and then subvert some of them to create your own narrative. It just has to be a list of facts / events.<br /> <br /> <br /> Understood?<br /> Take care,<br /> <br /> <br /> M. Hattais.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
