ANIMAL CONVERSATION

We used to combine TEEN(Music, Voices,etc...) with animal conversation tasks that help us to improve our vocabulary, and learn more about animals lives and habitats.

ENGLISH ACTIVITIES. TERM 1

Teen Voices

In this activity, we had to read a text called MULTI-CULTURAL BRITAIN, that talked about the number of people from different races or places in the world who for thousands of years have made Britain their home.
Then we had to answer some question telling our opinion about the text.

 

Teen Time

We use this activity to talk about the differents styles of life of teenagers. Some of them are fat and addicted to internet, and others practice sports, have a healthy diet, etc...

We express our opinions about the topic, and we find our selfs between both groups od teenagers.

Teen Rights

In this session we were working on children rights. 

We had to discuse, in pairs, what was our own opinion about the law, and which rigths we thought were the most interesting. We also read an article called Article 12, an organization in UK , and it is named after Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights os the Child, wich says: Whenever an adult makes a decision that will affect you any way, you have the right to give your opinion and be taken seriously.

Teen Europe

We read a text which conteins all the information about the European Union: The origins, the crowth of the EU, etc...
Firstly we tried to answer exercise one as a listening, but it was quiet dificult so we started to work with the book. We found this work really interesting because we learned lots of new things about the EU that we never have heard about them before.

Teen Music

We spent this class talking about downloading music.
We had to ask three important questions:

• Is it illigal to download music from the internet?
• Why is it illegal to download free music?
• Do all pop stars want to stop free downloads?

The answers of this questions were different personal opinions, but in our case, we think that if we want to listen music, we have to pay for it, beacause if we don´t pay for it, how could pop stars earn money?

Elecciones al Consejo Escolar.

Durante este trabajo nos estuvimos informando sobre las fechas, los representantes y la labor del consejo escolar. Los datos que obtuvimos fueron los siguientes:

• Se eligen cinco representantes.
• El plazo para presentar las candidaturas fue del 16 al 27 de Octubre, siendo la celebración de estas elecciones el 17 de Noviembre de 2010.

También aprendimos el significado de 'Comisión de Convivencia'. Ésta se encarga se resolver conflictos, tomar medidas para mejorar la convivencia y promover la Paz e Igualdad entre todos.
Una de nosotras forma parte del Consejo Escolar a nivel del alumnado (Carmen Hidalgo). Lo encuentra como un órgano imprescindible para el funcionamiento del Instituto.

Expulsión de los Gitanos Romanos en Francia.

Las primeras clases del inicio de curso las dedicamos a realizar un trabajo sobre la situación en la que se encontraba el país francés ante la expulsión de los Gitanos Rumanos que se encontrasen en una siuación irregular.
Hubo diversos puntos de vista como el del Ministro de Interior francés, Brice Hortefeux,  que dijo que no se les expulsaba del país por el hecho de ser gitanos, sino por no disponer de los medios que se requieren para encontrarse en situación legal en él.
La Comisaria de Justicia, Vivian Reding, reaccionó en contra de la situación recordando y comparando dicha decisión del gobierno con lo sucedido en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
La parte moral del ejercicio la realizamos expresando argumentos en contra y a favor de la medida adoptada.
