Introduction

The idea of this blog is to show part of the production of year 7C in English throughout the 2nd and 3rd bimesters of 2016. Individual and group productions are here included. Some of them relate to the field trip the students went on in the center of São Paulo city. The newsletter genre allowed students to futher explore their linguistic abilities by writing a variety of texts. In the TV News, students were able to enhance their speaking and listening skills and, as a whole, their skills for working in groups.

The sections:

My Last Vacation - Each group of students chose a text to represent their group in the newsletter.

São Paulo Field Trip - Students produced texts about the places visited in this trip which took place in August.

Interview - Students interviewed either a teacher or a student from the 3rd grade of High School and asked them about their future plans.

We sincerely hope you enjoy our work.

Best,

Year 7C students and Teacher Maira

 Sé Cathedral

In 1913 the construction of the Cathedral began, as it is today, by the German Maximilian Emil Hehl. The temple was inaugurated on January 25, 1954, in celebration of the 4th centenary of the city of São Paulo, still without the two main towers.

The cathedral is one of the five largest neogothic temples in the world.

The first version of the church was installed in 1591 when the Tibiriçá chief chose the land where you find the first temple of the city.

In 1745 the "Old Cathedral", as it was called, was elevated to cathedral category. So, in the same year, he began the building of the second matrix of the Cathedral, in the same place as the previous.

In 1911, the two temples were demolished to make room for the extension of Cathedral Square and finally to the current version of the cathedral.

The cathedral also has a crypt open to visitors, opened in 1919. With thirty mortuaries, it maintains to the present day, the sarcophagi of bishops and archbishops, and stores the remains of Tibiriçá chief, the first citizen of Piratininga, and the priest Feijo.

We also find, right in front of Ground Zero. The small marble monument in hexagonal shape, built in 1934. It brings a map of roads departing from Sao Paulo in direction of other states.

                                 LADEIRA PORTO GERAL                                                           

We visited São Paulo downtown and I will comment on Ladeira Porto Geral:

Located on a slope that originated it´s name “Ladeira Porto Geral”, also it now has a lot of stores and some are illegal on the street. In the past, Ladeira Porto Geral was a place like a port where products were negotiated. Now this place became a popular market where millions of people go to buy all kinds of products.

TEA VIADUCT     

  It is a very important place because a river passed under it. It also has a monument showing two horses, as the portuguese passed the river by horse and this is one of the most important places of São Paulo.

My last vacation

On my last vacation, I stayed home. I liked a lot  my vacation because I was with my friends, I woke up late….

In the last  week of my vacation, I traveled to Guarujá and Ilhabela, but the weather was not very good. It was raining, cold, cloudy… I played videogame, watched videos on YouTube…I wanted to have traveled to Bahia, to see my grandmother. The best thing of my vacation was that I stayed with my family.

São Paulo is a beautiful city is in  Brazil  that has some great attractions such as Sé Cathedral. It's in the center of São Paulo. In its underground, there are crypts of people who were important for the development of São Paulo and Brazil. One person there is cacique Tibiriça. There are some archbishops and bishops too.

My Last vacation

Hi. So my vacation was great. In the first week 3 of my friends went to my house to see scary movies. Then I went to my grandpa friend’s house. It was beautiful in there. After that, I traveled with my grandma to a city that isn’t much famous. Its name is São José do Rio Pardo. There I have 2 friends and we rang a lot of bels. I spent 5 days there. I went and came back by a bus.

  Next, I went with my mom and my brother to watch evil invocation 2. I liked it but it was very, very scary. In the last weeks I went to my friend’s house and watched Netflix. All the time of my vacation it was sunny but sometimes a little cold too. I wanted to swim, see one friend my and go skateboarding. But these 3 things I didn’t do, and love everything so. The best thing of my vacation was traveling to my friend’s grandpa house.
