TRUCO -O-TRATO

Happy Halloween from Espain!

WITH MY STUDENTS

As a writing and vocabulary exercise, I had some of my 4th years write some Halloween poems, mostly for my own personal pleasure. Of course I was also thinking about sharing them with you all, because I'm a proud profesora AND because some of them worked very hard.

They do celebrate Halloween here, but mostly as a reason to fiesta, underage drink and chain smoke. Some little niños go "truco-o-trato"-ing but I still couldn't convince my too cool high schoolers to wear costumes. Shame. If they could only experience a real Halloween celebration in an American city like, Santa Barbara perhaps. I hope one day they get to live the true American dream, however; Hamburgers, house parties and lots of naked hoes on Halloween.

Cheers!

HALLOWEEN!

In Halloween very strange thinks
Happen, now we're going to see!
The cat is red...
The spider flies
The skeleton speakers English
Another vampire doesn't like
the night...

THE DAY OF HALLOWEEN
By: Carlos and Rubén
The day of Halloween is very, very mysterious.
One day a family have lunch in the forest.
They find the ghost in the river.
They are scare run, but they find a graveyard in the forest.
The ghost was not there but a bloody vampire it will.

Today is Halloween
Let's look for some candy.
If you are frightened
you need a jack-o-lantern.
I'm a mummy
and my friend is a goblin.
We go to the cemetery
to look for some zombies.

POEM
By: Melisa and Merche
One night in a city there was a ghost that scare people.
It was terrible, he killed the children.
Whenever it came the werewolf howls.
Then the people knew that they had to go.
The Halloween day a lot of spiders, witches, monsters, zombies, mummies and creatures went to cemetery, when the moon go out.
It very scary.
