Literary meeting D. Antonio Gómez Yebra. Course 2015-16

 

“Writing is a consequence of reading”

 

Colegio Alborán, aware of the importance of promoting reading, organizes literary meetings with writers through the Department of Language and Literature.

Therefore, Mr. Antonio Gómez Yebra, famous author of Children's and Youth Literature, visited our center to encourage our students to read.

He took time to bring them closer to Literature in general, rescued verses from Espronceda, evoked Miguel Hernández, explaining that the authors and their works live in our memory. He invited our students to look in the encyclopedias, to use the dictionary and to write, in a visit that combined poetry, mythology and traditional tales.

For our school it is always an honor to receive Mr. Antonio, Professor of the UMA, who stands out for his numerous works in prose and verse aimed at children and young people and who knows how to transmit the desire for books at each meeting. He always knows how to surprise all attendees, as each meeting is different and unique.

The students of 5th, 6th of Primary Education, 1st and 2nd of ESO showed a lot of interest in this walk through Literature and History at the same time that they enjoyed the questions, recitations and riddles that took place on March 4.
