After writing the letter to the object, the students are asked to imagine THEY ARE the object and write a reply to the first letter :)
They have had so much fun being in someTHING else´s shoes that results have been hillarious !!
Thrilled when buying a new book for your teaching? Preoccupied when a student misses a lot of classes? Not giving up on a student despite his/her efforts? Making both ends meet at the end of the month? Just a few questions on what being an ESL teacher means to me :)

Personification II
"The Vegans" poem
After discussing the poem: its rhythm, message, choice of words and rhyme, I ask the students to choose a social/ethnic group in society such as the emos (at least they appeared in Argentina), the hippies, the hipsters, etc and write a poem about them with rhymes :)
Along the years, they have left me speechless, really!! They have engaged so much with the activity; they have discussed their views and, actually, their prejudices towards those groups , and have even had to do some research before plunging into the adventure of creating their poem !!
Just as a mere example of what I have enjoyed, I leave you with one of my groups`creation :)
PS: I would appreciate your comments :)
