                                                                       The Fat Ghost

Last night I was watching TV when I heard a strange noise. I went to the garden to see what was happenning. There was a person on the ground . When I came closer I saw something that terrified me : that was a man and he was dead. While I was looking at him, he was turning into a ghost, a fat and ugly ghost. He was very mad because the man who killed him scaped from the police. I felt sorry for the ghost and decided to help him finding the killer.
We started loking for him arround the neighborhood, but we didn't find anybody. The ghost got angrier because I wasn't competent. So it started haunting me. Everytime when I was at home, strange things happened like sparkling lights, scary dreams and noises.
One day the ghost killed me and I turned into a ghost too.        

                                                                                THE END?

Teenagers Horror Stories...

To put into practice everything we've learnt so far involving Past Continuous, using When and While, my teenagers who are studying with the 2B books had a great challenge: to write a scary horror story!! But then, some ideas appeared in how to have it written... Each student would write two sentences, fold the paper in a way the next person would see just one sentence, and continue from that point, till they came to an end... The results were both scary and funny!! 
So, here's the first horror story, from my Mondays/Wednesdays afternoons group!
Hope you enjoy it!!

                                                 Our Worst Nightmare


When we were at Escola Americana last night, we saw something that scared us. A ghost was coming inside our classroom while we were studying. When it started scratching the wall, we were running desperately. We were going to a hotel to hide from the ghost, who called a monster to help him. The ghost and the monster could reach us, when the monster started saying it was going to eat us. So we started running again to hide from them.
We found a dark and cold corner, a perfect place to hide. We were standing there, when a boy started crying. He was afraid, he couldn't bear the situation. He was saying to the monster to take it easy while the monster was threatening to eat him. "Why are you going to eat me?", asked the boy. "Because I want to", answered the monster.
While we were trying to escape, the monster and the ghost were jumping on us. And we started screaming. So we were trying to hide in the bushes. They weren't able to see us there. We managed to escape to a desert street    
One of us started yelling "I'm going to die!". "You're not going to die", I told him. "Who could help me?" he asked. "Me, Chapolin Colorado!" he said. While he was killing the ghost with a bionic hammer, he was also hitting the monster.
But it's said that it is still alive...
