HALLOWEEN

  IS A VERY OLD AND TRADITIONAL CELEBRATION. MANY CENTRIES BEFORE CHRIST, THE CELTS OCCUPIED ENGLAND AND IRELAND. THEY THOUGHT THAT WINTER WAS THE TIME OF EVIL SPIRITS, BECAUSE OF THE LONG WINTER NIGHTS. ON OCTOBER 31, THE LAST DAYS BEFORE WINTER, THEY MADE BIG FIRES AND DRESSED UGLY COSTUMES TO SCARE THE EVIL SPIRITS. CENTURIES LATER, THE IRISH INTRODUCED SOMETHING NEW TO THIS DAY. GROUPS OF PEOPLE DRESSING THEIR HALLOWEEN FESTIVIES. WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT A HOUSE THEY SAID, “TRICK OR TREAT!” THE PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE GAVE THEM SOME FOOD OR ELSE THEY WERE VICTIMS OF SOME TRICK.

       TODAY, HALLOWEEN IS A TRADITION ONLY FOR CHILD. THEY STILL WEAR UGLY COSTUMES. GHOST, WITCHES, BLACK CATS, JACK-O-LANTERNS, MONSTERS ETC. ARE TYPICAL COSTUMES OF THIS CELEBRATION. CHILDREN GO TO HOUSES AND SAY,”TRICK OR TREAT!”, AND PEOPLE GIVE THEM CANDIES.

 OBSERVAÇÃO: TRICK OR TREAT = Expressão usada pelas crianças, nas noites de Halloween, ameaçando as pessoas com uma travessura (trick) se não ganharem um doce(treat).

JACK-O-LANTERN= Nome da cara de boneco esculpida numa abóbora.

OR ELSE= Ou então, senão, caso contrário.

Projeto: Fazendo Blogs

QUERIDOS ALUNO 

   Utilizarem o blog para registrar seus avanços, seus estudos, pesquisas, fatos relevantes etc, é uma forma segura de produzir conhecimento. Este hábito  vai se converter em criatividade, análise e síntese de tudo que  vivenciar!

   A escrita de artigos curtos, diretos e usando o blog para expressar corretamente a linguagem em nossa sociedade atual, é de grande valia e possibilidades. Além disso, se torna motivante ver sua produção na internet, de forma fácil e acessível.

   Durante todo ano de 2012 divulgarei os blogs ou sites criados pelos alunos.

   Façam os comentários que motivem seus colegas!..Eles vão adorar!
