A book about grandmas by 1st ESO students
GRANDMAS'
LIFETIME STORIES
As part of an interdisciplinary project carried out at Galileo Galilei High School, my 1st ESO Advanced English students have done their part by:

1. Asking well-thought-out questions to their grandmas and translating them into English.

2. Creating word clouds with relevant keywords from their interviews.

3. Presenting their grandmas to the class.

4. Creating an acrostic poem based on their grandmas' names.

5. Collaborating in this book.

We hope you like it. We made it with much love and dedication to honour these women who had more difficult lives.

My grandma is 82 years old. She lived in Toledo with her parents and her siblings until she decided to go to Madrid with her daughters and my grandpa. When she was young, she lived in a big old house. There wasn’t a doctor in the village but there was a young man who was learning. 
She was fond of drawing, reading and writing. She went to school until she was eight years old and she liked it a lot. She told me that in her childhood she never travelled. In summer she did the same as the rest of the year. On a normal day she used to feed the chickens, sweep and also water the plants. Her best friend was Alicia and they got along very well. They used to play hide and seek.
She used to wear dresses that her sister made for her. We also talked a bit about climate change and she told me it rained and snowed much more than now.
Finally, I asked her to tell me something she remembered about her childhood and she told me something fun. When she was six years old, her neighbour had a very nice apron and, one day when she went to visit her, she took a pair of scissors and cut a small piece. And then she made dresses for her dolls!!!
I love my grandma and I am very thankful for having her in my life. The older I get, the more I realize how lucky I am to have a grandmother as wonderful as her. I am very proud of my grandmother. She is the best and one day I hope to be just like her.
