In this project, Adriana Silveira asked the students to create their own poems based on  themes from the well known Brazilian poets Carlos Drummond de Andrade, CecĂ­lia Meireles and Vinicius de Moares (IB course).

By making the eMagazine public, the expectation is to open up to more viewers and invite feedback through comments on the magazine site.
