My Year 9 students at Institut Vila de Gràcia have won an award in the 2011-2012 Viquilletra for «the activity that went deepest into the character». It is an interview they wrote imagining they were the main character of the book we read in class: «L'Ocell de Foc», by the recently departed Emili Teixidor. Congratulations to them on a job well done!
You can find more about the award given to my students at this link.
La Viquilletra is a collaborative project for teaching and learning to read the best works of Catalan literature, aimed at secondary-school students. To all teachers of Catalan language and literature: I think it is an excellent activity, and one where we can share a great deal.
