Presentations

In the last class we talked about the Violence Against Women, Sara and I talked about the workplace harassment and we did a prezi about it.

This it's a song about the respect against women of my favourite singer Tupac Amaur Shakur.

Violence Against Women

Today we had an special class, we went to computer's class and had a diferent exercice, we made groups of two or theree people, and select a type of VAW(Violence Against Woman), and made a presentatation of it. My group did it about rape, one of the worst types of violence, because it causes physical and psycological injuries, we did it on Prezi.

Yesterday was the day of violence agaist woman, because of it we made this activity today. Gender violence is a serious problem, because in a big part of the world is accepted like a costume, for exemple in India the act of rape is not a crime, and it's normal, every day a lot of woman are raped and killed for her's husbands and nobody goes to cell or is judged, that is narrated in a Jn Sistiaga 's report, named "No es país para mujeres".

Well, that's today class.

This is a song that talks of this:

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMAN

I'm going to talk about violence against women as we have done at class today.

It makes me feel so sad and worried when I talk about this, also to the rest of the class is the reason why we were like that today, because is really sad the fact that a lot of woman nowadays still suffering it.

There is violence against woman in a lot of situations that people think it is usual and normal.

The world advances in a lot of aspects but in others it seems we go back.

Can we do anything? Do we? Could the woman that suffer it answer them? How?

There are a lot of questions and a lot of opinions, in my hubble opinion we can only make awere people and try to help the women that we know maybe they are suffering it.

I have chosen this video because it is made by the world association of scouts, and I have been scout since I was a child.

It is very interesting, because it has made me think more about it.

The poppy

Last Friday was in my opinion the best class, only the activity of Halloween had been better.
First of all the teacher showed us a flower and we had to find out what it was. 

It was a poppy. I was the one who found out what it was.
The poppy is a symbol to commemorate those who died in World War I.

First we had to open a page where we had to sign in, in order to commemorate one person who had died in IWW. Then, the teacher gave us some pieces of coloured felt and we cut them with a pair of scissors to make the shape of a poppy.

GUY FAWKES

In our Holidays Unit, we've been dealing with History. Have you enjoyed the story of Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder plot? It is very interesting that people still celebrate it 400 years later, isn't it?

Here you can find the links to the materials I used in class:

Below we have begun to study the life of James first, his life and his political thoughts.

Thanks to this and still today November 5, mary has explained what the November 5th in Britain. Today is Guy Fowkes day !! explained us everything about this day, the story of this character, his intentions to blow up parliament and blow up james I, and has made us a video about what people in Britain think and how they organize this great night in Winchester.

Finally, so that we can better understand this story, she has put us parts of the movie "V of Vendetta" where this history are very clear.

During the class has given us material of the videos and the history of james I.

Finally  has put us the trailer for the movie and we have recommended it to show it at home.

In my opinion there isn´t better form to tell the story that these methods work, videos,  activities pages... a brilliant exercise class !!

his own establishment as the Supreme Head of the Church of England.

Halloween.

Last friday, we made a party in class because it was Halloween. It was scaring!
We bring cakes, cupcakes, cookies... a lot of food.
Also, we dressed up as vampire, zombie...
After that, we saw trailers of scary movies. It was fantastic because we love this type of films.
It was fantastic and so funny!
The Shining, by Stanley Kubrick was one of the trailers we saw:

And we ate a lot of food that we cooked in our home:

Preparing for Halloween...

 TRYING TO GET US SCARY!

I this class, the teacher tried to prepare us before Halloween. There were a few frights that nobody expected...

We saw Vincent, that it's a 1982 stop-motion short horror film written, designed and directed by Tim Burton. We had the words of what they were saying in the video while we were watching it. We had to fill some gaps, so we listened carefully.

We also saw this short video about a strange and a bit scary situation that happened to this boy.

We watched it a few times and took some notes. Then, we had to write the story thinking that it was us in the place of the boy (that wasn't a nice feeling!).

These are some of the writings that we made.

I think this class was fun, I wouldn't mind repeating it again.
