HOUSE: La última tentación

LA ÚLTIMA TENTACIÓN

Puedes pulsar aquí para  ver capítulo

Dedicamos toda la clase a ver un capítulo de la serie House en el que se nos hacía reflexionar sobre si debemos mentir o no; esto es lo que le ocurre a la ayudante de House, a ella le resulta muy complacado mentir o saltarse las reglas y esta dispuesta a hacer cualquier cosa por no tener que mentir, pero el asunto se complica cuando para salvar la vida de una persona, que morirá si no le amputan el brazo, tiene que hacer algo que le cuesta muchísimo, mentir.

TRAS EL CAPÍTULO

La clase siguiente después de ver este episodio de la serie la dedicamos a hacer unas preguntas sobre el capítulo que habíamos visto.

Anteriormente Mª Luz expuso su trabajo sobre los jóvenes españolas que tras no encontrar trabajo en su país después terminar la carrera, tienen que emigrar a otros países, como esta sucediendo en Alemania, que muchos ingenieros españoles se van a vivir allí para trabajar.

HASTA SIEMPRE MEGHAN!

FIESTA DE DESPEDIDA A NUESTRA QUERIDA MEGHAN

This class was special because as Meghan goes away We decided to do a little farewell party.

 we bought a cake and drinks and then we give her some typical Spanish things as a present to she take them away as a souvenir.

She gave us some cards to us with a dedication and a lollipop.

It was sad to leave meghan and we will miss her very much

She is so great. :)

WE LOVE YOU MEGHAN!

CARTOON

 This was the questions about the picture:

1. What message is the cartoonist trying to convey? Why does politics appear on a door and ethics on a trashbin?

2. What is your opinion about this message?

3. What is your opinion about the relationship between ethics and politics?

Miriam and me think that the cartoon try to show as that the ethic is rabish and the politic is something that opend the doors of a better life.

In our opinion ethics is something personal and politic is somethig social, and we think ethic is beter than politic.

In this class we had a guest called Mr. Nash.

PERIÓDICOS

EXPOSICIÓN DE NOTICIAS

En esta clase expuso Isabel Muñoz su noticia. La noticia hablaba sobre la muerte de Bin Laden.

Finalmente Isa dio su opinión en la que mostraba su desacuerdo con que hubieran matado a Bin Laden ya que nadie debería tener el derecho a matar a otra persona, independientemente de lo que esta hubiera hecho.

En nuestra opinión Bin Laden sí que merecía morir, ya que él no tuvo ninguna consideración al terminar con la vida de tantísimas personas. Pensamos que no era merecedor de ninguna cárcel por dura que fuera y que si no hubiera muerto probablemente tarde o temprano volvería a salir y a hacer lo que le apeteciera.

Como ya comentaron varia personas en la clase, con las que estamos de acuerdo, la muerte de Bin Laden no debería haber sido proclamada a los cuatro vientos por seguridad, pero nosotros si estamos a favor de todo lo demás.

Esta noticia fue una de las más comentadas por la clase y causó una gran polémica si hubieran debido matarlo o no.

Cartoon about Golden rule.

In this session we work with a page of a comic strip Calvin and Hobbes pet that was about the Golden Rule.
We did some questions in relation to the image of the comic. They are:

1. Briefly summerize the cartoon strip.

Calvin told his mascot (a tiger) named Hobbes that he was more than enough of ethics so that the ends justified the means. So Hobbes pushed him and he fell into the mud when asked why he had done that, he answered because you were in my way and now you're not.
The child, angry, said that it the end justifies the means, he said only, not for others.

2.Explain the meaning of Hobbes' quote (the tiger) in the second to last drawing.

Means that govermment and other powers must beover ethics and moral dominance to achieve their goals and to carry out their plans.

3. What's the relationship between the cartoon story and the Golden Rule.

Who speak of moral principes.

4.Which philosopher said this famous sentence: “The ends justify the means” . Look for information about him.

The said Nicholas Madriawelly was a diplomat, civil, servant, italian political, philosopher and writer, his work the most famous.

5.Who were the real “Calvin” and “Hobbes”. Look for information about them.

Calvin is a french reformed theologian of the sixteenth century, called Joan Calvino and Hobbes is a philosopher french os the seventeeth century called Thomas Hobbes.

EXPOSICIÓN DE LOS TRABAJOS DE LOS FILÓSOFOS

EXPOSICIÓN DE LOS TRABAJOS DE LOS FILÓSOFOS

During some classes  we have made some works about some philosophers. The class was dividesd in  five group, each group had to make the work about the philosopher that they wanted. In each work the group had to explicate his society, his life, books and tittles, his works, and the ethic of each philosopher.

SOCRATE:

- Athens, year 470 B.C.- 399 B.C 

- Socrates didn't write anything.

-All the scientist who lived before Socrates were called the pre-Socrates. Socrates died for his beliefs about citizenship and he died under the death penalty. Socrates believed that bad behaviour was the result of lack of knowledge and could be corrected through learning and better understanding.

 

PLATO: 

- He born in Athens (428 B.C)  and he died in Athens (347 B.C)

- Four main virtues:

1. Wisdom: Apply laws (original ideas).

2. Courage: Channel rage → Good things.

3. Moderation: Control bodily appetites.

4. Justice is the most important.

EPICURO:

- Epicurus was an important philosopher that lived in Ancient Greece.

- He born on February 341BC-270BC

- Epicurus founded a system of philosophy based upon the teachings of him called Epicureanism around 307 BC. To him, the highest form of happiness can be got through the combination of two states: ataraxia and aponia. Ataraxia means perfect mental happiness and Aponia is the state where bodily pain not exists.  Besides, Epicurus believed that the highest pleasure is the absence of suffering. In his view, the body desires didn’t give the pleasure, soul desires were more important. He didn’t believe on superstition and divine intervention either. Therefore, His teachings lost during Middle Ages.

STOICISM:

- Stoicism of Athens, where it was first taught. It was founded by Zeno of Citium (335-263 BC) and became one of the two principal philosophical schools of the Hellenistic world.

- Stoics believed that the universe was created by fire and would be destroyedby fire, before being created again.

The stoics have a very negative idea about pleasure and emotions, so their goal is to have a clear mind.

The stoics thought that emotions can prevent happiness and people should avoid the effects of these feelings. So they were very cold people.

They defended that the emotions can get in the way of your performance in your daily life.

ARISTOTLE:

- He was born in 384 BC, in Stageira. He died in 322 BC, in the Euboea Island.  He lived in the Classic  Greece.

- Virtues is the middle ground and you should avoid extremes. Virtues in an habit. To be virtues you have to find middle ground.

This philosopher (Aristotle) was expose somes days after for a problem with the work.

My group that was IsmaelH, Ismael F, Marta, Miriam and Mª Isabel made this philosopher.

 HUMAN RIGHT

After the presentation of Aristotle we continues with the questions of the book Human Right.

The book consist in some chapter in whhich expline the right of the human.

PHILOSOPHERS: ARISTOTLE

WORK ABOUT PHILOSOPHERS.

These last weeks we have been doing some work on filosophers. Our group (Marta, Ismael H., Ismael F. Miriam and Isabel). We have chosen the philosopher Aristotle.

ARISTOTLE

Aristotle was born in384 BC and died in 322 BC. was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology.

The most important books by Aristotle are Eudemian Ethics and Nicomachean Ethics.

The main ideas from this philosopher are:
-Virtues is the middle ground and you should avoid extremes.

ISABEL'S DIALOGUE

ISABEL'S DIALOGUE

I did this dialogue with my dear friend, Marta. Our dialogue is about if young people should or shouldn't live together before marriage.
This is the dialogue:

Isabel: Hello Marta!        
                
Marta: Hi! Isa

Isabel: How are you?

Marta: Fine, and you?

Isabel: No to bad, thank. Can I ask your opinion about a topic?

Marta: Yes, of course

Isabel: I've seen in TV a woman that said that young people shouldn't live together before marriage. Are you agree with this?

 Marta: Yes, I'm agree because I know a girlwith 17 years that lives with her boyfriend and now she has lots of problemas that she can't solves so she's very sad.


Isabel:Well, in my opinion young people are free to do that they wont. I imagine that this girl didn't think very well, and she will regret the rest of her life, but was her decision.

Marta: Yes, but I really think, young people can be free to do that they wont depending of the age.

Isabel: O.K. in that case I agree with you, but getting back to the previus topic, if couple loves, they can live together before marriage. We have to think that we're in the twenty-first century.

Marta: As a general rule people can't be together before marriage, but it's true that the rules have changed as well is easier to separate because is not necesary to get divorce.

Isabel: Undoudtedly, well I have to go sorry, we continue talking another day.

Marta: O.K I also have to go, see you soon.

When we had to make the dialogue Marta and I were very nervous but I think  we don't went wrong.
we laughed a lot when we were rehearsing the previous day.

Miriam's Dialogue.

My classmate Marina and I made a dialog, and choose theme the high salary that celebrities get.

Marina: Hi Miriam!
Miriam: Hi Marina!

Marina: How are you?

Miriam: Very good and you?

Marina: Also very good.

Miriam: You know I just heard? That a year Cristiano Ronaldo win 13 million euros. It's incredible! How can you win so much money, if it is just football?

Marina: The truth seems to me an exaggeration,

Miriam: And just for kicking a ball...

Marina: It isn't as simple as giving them a kicking a ball, had to work very hard to be there.

Miriam:I agree, they have had to work hard but the doctors also work hard and don't change much.

Marina: Yes, but football is a very popular sport here in Spain, and apart from the players together with actors for example learn much money.

Miriam: In my opinion I think that they shouldn't learn much money it isn't normal for a minute he win 25€ when there are people are starving.

Marina: I share your opinion, but we must also say that many famous people who learn much money they share the money with NGOs, sponsoring children, etc.

Miriam: I understand, I know that they donate much money, but this isn't reason.

Marina: Well, the truth that allthrought we agree or disagree with the learnings of celebrities everything will stay the same.

Miriam: Well yeah, well I have to go, Marina.

Marina: OK Miriam, I hope to see you soon, bye.

Miriam: See you soon.

SECOND TERM - WOMEN'S DAY

WOMEN'S DAY

We do this class to commemorate the International Women's Day.

 After seeing a slide show on women in different parts of the world, Antonio handed a piece of paper to each student which contained the name of a place and what women did in that place (for example if  women had to marry thirteen years or things like that).

 In this class, we also talked about Simone de Beauvoir. Here I leave a brief biography of this woman.

On January 8, 1908 Simone de Beauvoir was born in Paris. Her parents were Georges de Beauvoir and Françoise Brasseur. She Was dedicated to the Feminist Movement and spoke out the way the French Against Institutionalized poor unmarried mothers. She was also a atheist who committed that religion supplied strongly felt a reason to evade truth.
  Simone died on April 14, 1986 in the city where he was born in Paris.
 We can say that when we speaking of Simone de Beauvoir are talking about a memorable woman. One of the French intellectual figures more important and committed from mid-twentieth century whose contribution to feminism has been very significant.

ETHICS, APPLIED ETHICS AND MEDICAL ETHICS.

ETHICS, APPLIED ETHICS AND MEDICAL ETHICS.

First we read a document on the web Wikipedia in which we defined terms such as, Ethics, the branches of ethics, applied ethics.
A reading below, we conducted some issues.

The definition of Ethics is as follows: Ethics, Also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy That addresses questions about morality-that is, Such concepts as good and evil, right and wrong, Virtue and vice, justice, etc.

The branches of ethics are as follows: Meta-ethics, Normative Ethics, Applied Ethics, Moral and Descriptive psychology ethics.

An important definition in this paper is Applied Ethics.
Applied ethics is a discipline of philosophy athical That Attempts to Apply theory to real-life situations.

Another definition is very important and Medical Ethics.
Medical Ethics is a system of moral values ​​and Principles That Apply Judgments to the Practise of medicine.

In this context, what a dilemma?
A case of dilemma in House.
Offering Dilemma is a problem at least two Possibilities, Neither of Which Is Practically acceptable. Sometimes, no good solution to a dilemma in medical ethics exist, and Occasionally, the values ​​of the medical community with ONFLICTS thevalues ​​of the individual patient, family, or larger non-medical community.

HOUSE.

This day we saw an episode of the popular American series "House. "
In this chapter Dr. Gregory House who leads a team of diagnoses in the Princeton Hospital.
It has many discussions with fellow doctors because many of its assumptions about the diseases of patients are based on subtle or controversial ideas.
His acting in breach of the rules and procedures in the hospital often leads to trouble with his boss, who later was his girlfriend who is the hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine Dr. Lisa Cuddy.

With this episode there was a debate in class, which was being discussed whether it was better to tell the truth to their patients or not.

GANDHI.

Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian political thinker who was born on October 2, 1869 and died on January 30, 1948.

 

He studied law in England.

He believed that social injustice should be fought hard, but not violently, but causing a change in attitude on the opponents. Was developed and new methods of control such as hunger strikes.

The thought of peace is still a model for many social movements that postulate non-violence as a means of protest.

For the second quarter have sent us a book about Gandhi, we have to read us the first 6 chapters and make their activities for the March 2 that the correct class with Meghan.

On April 1 will be given all the activities of book and make a voluntary examination for up note.
Later as we did above correct activities with Meghan.

SECOND TERM - THE GOLDEN RULE

THE GOLDEN RULE

In this class we were talking about The Golden Rule and did some questions.

The Golden Rule is a maxim, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following:
- One shoul teat others as one would like others to treat onesself (positive form)

The Golden Rule is importan to discussing human right because is arguably the most essencial bosis for the modern concept of human rights in which each individual has a right to just treatment, and a reciprocal responsabily to ensure justice for others.

Of course, we have to respect the Golden Rule because is very important for live in peace with other persons, and to be happier.

We don't think that It's necessary to belong to a religion to follow The Golden Rule because treat people better isn't into any religion is within yourself.

In this hour we only corrected the three first questions because the others are your opinion and we didn't have time.

EXPOSICIÓN DE PERIÓDICOS

EXPOSICIÓN DE ARTÍCULOS PERIODÍSTICOS

A lo largo de este trimestre los Viernes los alumnos de la clase que lo deseen podran exponer y opinar sobre la noticia que elijan (siempre y cuando tenga algo que ver con Ética) ya sea en español, Inglés o ambos idiomas.


La primera persona en exponer su noticia fué María García. 
En la exposición de su noticia habló sobre la situación en la que se encuantran las mujeres de Arabia y su intervencion en la guerra así como el machismo que se da en esos paises (por ejemplo hacer que las mujeres lleven velo). Al final concluyó la exposición con una opinión en inglés. Este tema fue muy debatido entre los alumnos de la clase.


La siguiente en exponer fué Fee, que expuso toda la noticia en inglés.
Fee habló sobre las guerras liberalistas de los países Árabes, Gadafy y la situación en Libia. Esta exposición nos resultó un poco más dificil de entender por el hecho de ser en inglé, pero fue bastnte interesante y tambien debatimos sobre ella.

El último de este día en exponer fue Jose antonio. Habló de las células madre que habián conseguido salvar la vida de un niño, y los avances tan beneficiosos que hemos conseguido en la actualidad.
La verdad esque no nos pudimos enterar bien de la noticia porque el profesor no dejaba de interrumpir a Jose Antonio, para que acabara y porque él no lo entontraba ninguna relación con la ética. Finalmente el tema se desplazó hacia las celulas madre y la iglesia, que piensa ¿está bien que para salvar la vida de un ser humano tengamos que arrebatarsela a otro?

El 18 de Marzo continuamos con la exposición de los artículos del periódico, ese dia se trataron los siguientes temas:

Belén , que tenía la misma noticia que había expuesto María la vez anterior (pero Atonio dijo que no importaba) explicó de nuevo el tema y dio su opinion, el tema volvio a crear un debate aún mayor que la vez anterior en la que casi toda la clase aportó opiniones.

Claudia nos habló sobre un tema  que también causó mucha polémica entre los alumnnos.
Su noticia se titulaba La generación XXX , niños atrapados por el sexo y hablaba de que los niño cada vez con menor edad, pierden la virginidad, se meten en paginas pornográficas...
La exposición terminó con una abalancha de manos levantadas para conta experiencias o dar opiniones.

Por último, Isabel Muñoz nos comentó la horrible catastrofe ocurrida en Japón. Nos habló del  efecto que está produciendo el ser humano  en el planeta en el que habita contraponiendo  el tiempo que lleva aquí el ser humano y los  millones y millones de años que tiene la Tierra.
Tambíen habló de si realmente son seguras las  centrales nucleares poniendo el ejemplo de la central nuclear de Japón y dio su opinion sobre estos temas.

Como ningún Viernes nos daba tiempo a hacer nada más salvo las exposiciones, Antonio llegó a la conclusión de que solo expondría una persona por Viernes.

ACTIVIDADES SOBRE PORTADAS DE PERIÓDICOS - SEGUNDO TRIMESTRE

                             ACTIVIDADES SOBRE PORTADAS DE PERIÓDICO

Esta actividad era obligatoria y la teniamos que hacer en casa. Aún no la hemos corregido.
Consistia en analizar una serie de portadas y hacer varias actividades.

1.- Escribir en un cuadro el nombre de cada uno de los periñodicos, el titular principal referente a España y los acontecimientos en Libia y el resto de la informacion sobre este tema (subtitulos)

2.- Analizar cada uno de esos titulares, detectando como se manifiesta en cada uno de ellos la tendencia ideológica de cada partido

3.- Elegir el titular que te pareciera mejor explicando porque.

Después de realizar este trabajo hemos llegado a la conclusión de que los periódicos ABC, El Mundo, La Razón y La vanguardia son de derecha y que El País y Público son de izquerda.

Si quiere saber cuales son las portadas puede pinchar aqui

SAN VALENTÍN, ¿AMOR O CONSUMISMO?

El día de San Valentín es una celebración que se ha ido implantando en muchos paises.

Se celebra el 14 de Febrero porque es el dia del Santo San-Valentín.

En esta fiesta principalmente los enamorados, novios, esposos, muestran su cariño mediante regalos, detalles..

Pienso que no hace falta un día de San Valentin para mostrar que uno quiere a alguien.

Al principio se comenzaron a vender las primeras tarjetas postales de San Valentín, con símbolos como corazones. A esta se sumaron otro tipos de regalos como rosas y chocolates.

Al día de hoy,Lo que empezó siendo un detalle hacia la pareja se ha convertido en un bombardeo publicitario.

Con este acontecimiento comerciantes y empresarios se benefician ya que este día se ha convertido en la excusa perfecta para darle fuerza a sus ventas,mediante rebajas, etc.

En resumen a todo esto pensamos que tienes que demostrarle a tu pareja el afecto cada día y no esperes a San Valentín para tener un detalle con ella.

ANIMAL CONSERVATION.

This paper discusses the importance of the extinction of endangered animals.

Extinction is a natural process. Even before humans evolved and many plants and animals were in danger, for example, due to weather.
But when humans evolved the process of extinction was faster due to lack of resources, hence, humans began to hunt, build in habitats where they lived, etc.. To lead a better life.

That is why the irreparable damage that humans have created have been several extinctions, for example, "The dodo was a bird that lived in the Indian Ocean, ty flying in islands such as Mauritius. But with the arrival of humans to the sea, "The dodo became a source of food for humans, the population declined rapidly dodos, doing so completely disappeared.

With regard to endangered animals know that many animals are endangered due to human activity as we discussed earlier.
The World Wildlife Fund works hard to raise humans from the situation where animals are and to find ways to protect them.

The most striking examples of endangered animals include the rhino, panda, whale and tiger.

 
The purpose of this foundation is to protect animals and their natural habitats are problems such as pollution and deforestation and the threat posed by poachers.

SECOND TERM - TEEN MUSIC

TEEN MUSIC

This session consisted in read a text about download music and know more about this activity and which are their consecuences.

After read the text and did some exercices, we know that It's legal to download music when you pay for downloading from shops on the internet, that pop stars and their companies get their money from sellin CDs and to invent in new band and if we don't buy  CDs the future of pop music is in danger.
The text also spoke about famous singers like Black Eyed Peas.

In my opinion isn't wrong to download songs from internet and I don't think it's true that the future of pop music depends on it because they earn much money on advertising, concerts, etc ...

 In my case, for example, I haven't enough money to buy a CD, it costs me at least 14 €, every time that I like a song, plus, a disc only have one or two good songs, the others don't worth it.

 I believe that if  put the discs cheaper, the problem wouldn't be so great.
 but I also say that if I were a singer, I wouldn't like people download my songs and wouldn't buy my records.

GENERACIÓN BÚNKER.

En este trabajo hablamos de la generación búnker.

La generación búnker se denomina a los menores de entre 12 y 18 años que han interiorizado tanto el uso de las nuevas tecnologías que ya no podrían prescindir de ellas.

Se compara a esta generación con un búnker, que es una construcción que se utiliza en la guerra para protegerse de los bombardeos. Se utiliza este término porque se compara el búnker con las habitaciones de los adolescentes que se conectan a Internet durante horas, aislados de toda vida social, familias, amigos, etc.

En la noticia también aparecen dos instituciones, el Defensor del Pueblo y Unicef

El término de Defensor del Pueblo se denomina así porque se encarga de defender los derechos y libertades de los ciudadanos.

El término Unicef significa Fondo Internacional de Emergencias de las Naciones Unidas para la Infancia. Unicef se encarga de ayudar a niños y a proteger sus derechos.

También encontramos una encuesta con una muestra de 3219 alumnos.

En la encuesta se deswcriben unos datos estadísticos que son los siguientes:
1. 4 de cada 10 jóvenes tienen amigos virtuales a los que no han visto nunca.

2. El 64% de los adolescentes cuelgan imágenes privadas.

3. El 14% asegura haber recibido alguna vez proposiciones sexuales.

4. El 11% han sido insultados o amenazados a través de la Red.

5. 6 de cada 10 menores navegan en Internet sin ninguna supervisión de un adulto.

 6. Pasan ante el televisor más de dos horas al día de media en jornadas lectivas y más de tres los fines de semana.

7.La mitad de los menores considera que la programación "no colabora en su educación" y critica muchos "gestos y lenguajes" que son ofensivos e "insultantes".

En nuestra opinión pensamos que no todos los jóvenes se pueden clasificar como “generación búnker”.

Estamos de acuerdo que utilizamos bastante las nuevas tecnologías; ordenadores, Internet, móviles, etc… Pero no estamos todo el día utilizándolas.

Hoy en día cada vez más personas se unen a estas tecnologías como por ejemplo los adultos.

Pensamos que si los jóvenes tuviésemos locales o lugares adaptados a nosotros, no estaríamos todo el día conectados a Internet.

Creemos que la mayoría de los padres si que deberían estar más pendientes de sus hijos y advertirles de lo malo que es para la visión y para todo, pasar tanto tiempo delante de estos aparatos. Pero no sólo los padres tienen que estar más al cuidado de sus hijos, también pensamos que deberían hacer más campañas contra esto ya que es algo muy importante y creemos que no estamos lo suficientemente informados.

VOLUNTEERS WORKS - FIRST TERM

VOLUNTEERS WORKS


The work that summarized below are the volunteers works (supposedly) on the first term.

- "Constitution Day. This work spoke about the Spanish constitution. We had to answer a series of questions working on the wikiedia.

- Internet-Downloads. In this paper we talked about the illegality and legality of internet downloads and our opinion on the subject.

 - Analysis of Media: Catalan elections. this activity was to analyze various newspapers that they had in common a new, the Catalan elections.

 - "Views on the general strike. in this work we could get more information about what is a strike, what are its  purposes... etc

At the end we understood that these works were not truly voluntary and that if did not make them you haven't the opportunity to obtain outstanding at the final mark.

FIRST TERM - TENN RIGHTS

TENN RIGHTS

The first that we did was read a text related with Child's rights. Somes of this rigts are:

- The right to a family.
- The right to an identity
- The right to a healthy life .     
- The right to education.
- The right to equality.
- The right to opinions and information.
- The right to protection from dangerous work.

After that, we did a listening in wich We listened  the opinions of some teenagers. those opinions were related to things that in their opinion young people must or don't must doing.

Finally, we read a text that explained what is article 12, children rights' organisation in the UK.

In my opinions is very important to know more about our rights.
But sometimes these rights are worthless, for example a child who has no family and is starving, like so many children there are, you can have all the rights of the world but that child will continue to die and the rights aren't going to serve for nothing.
althoug in some cases is good to know about them.

FIRST TERM - HUMAN RIGHTS FOR GREEN APES

HUMAN RIGHTS FOR GREEN APES

We read a text in which it told an anecdote that accurred about young an a chimpanzee when some friends went to the zoo.
 The text also says that chimpanzees and other apes are always the favorite attraction in all zoos.
 Finally  the author tells of a group of people called the Great Ape Project (GAP) to campaign for animals to be afford these "human rights ".

 The declaration calls for three point to Be Granted rights to great apes:
- The Right to Life

-The Protection of Individual Liberty  

- The Prohibition of Torture

We read this text was the first part of the class, well, really we did this activity in a class (try to understand the text and ask Megan for the words that we don't understand). The next class we anwered some questions related to the text.

In my opinion we aren't one to take the life of another living being, much less to torture him or make him suffer just to have some fun, I don't find it anything funny
 I agree with part of the text that said that sometimes the animals seem more human (doing the things well) that humans, that the vast majority of the time they behave like animals.
 I find it very fitting that animals have rights, but if people do not respect the human rights, you believe that they may respect the rights of animals?

PRIMER TRIMESTRE - ELECCIONES AL CONSEJO ESCOLAR

ELECCIONES AL CONSEJO ESCOLAR

Este trabajo consistía en buscar información sobre las elecciones al Consejo Escolar de nuestro instituto,para saber un poco más acerca de dichas elecciones.

Para ello, miramos en la página web de nuestro centro.

En ella aparecía el número de representantes de alumnos que hay en el Consejo Escolar que son cinco alumn@, también aparecía el plazo para presentar las candidaturas en estas elecciones, del 16 al 27 de Octubre y el dia de celebración de las elecciones del alumnado(ya pasadas) que es el dia 17 de Noviembre.

A continuación leimos una ley que regula lo que se refiere al Consejo Escolar, y teníamos que buscar en ella las respuestas a algunas preguntas,como por ejemplo, ¿Quién puede convocar una reunión del Consejo Escolar? o

FIRST TERM - TEEN TIME

TEEN TIME

In this class we also read a text. This text spoke about what doing  teenagers in their free time.

The most part of their time, they are watching TV or playing computer's games. For example the overage of the time that teenagers spend watching TV is 2.5 hour and in 2003, they spend  £ 1,5 million on computer games.
The text also said that less than 50% of teenagers play team sports, and they hardly ever go to gyms because they're too expensive.
After read the text, we answered some questions related to the text.

 Lastly we listened four teenagers speaking about the things that they do on their free time.
The first, Sharon has lots of different hobbie and interests and she doesn't whatch TV but watches films.
Martin, doesn't get ery much physical exercise and he spends a lot of time surfing the internet.
Another boy, Duncan has a hobby that might become a profession and sometime goes dancing in clubs.
Karen is very keen on physical exerciseand and he does aerobic.

I think It's truth that we (teenagers) spend so much time on the computer and television, but what we do if when we finished homework and study are at least 9 at night?
 at that time our parents don't let us go out if we have school the next morning, so all we can do to have some fun time is watching TV or playing on the computer.
 Adults criticize us for doing basically nothing but they neither do much sport or go to the gym, they spend their free time doing more or less the same as us.

 On the other hand, many parents don't let their children go out alone to run or do sport because it's dangerous but don't want that their children spend their money on a gym then ... What can we do?

FIRST TERM - TEEN VOICES

TEEN VOICES

In this class our classmates read a text about the cultures in Britain.

We talk that Celts, Ramons, Saxons, Vikings and Normons invaded Britain between 500 BC and 1000 AD.
Now we know that Irish people came to Britan to scape famine and Jewish people came to scape anti-Semitions.

We also know about the most popular dish in Britain, Curry that came from India.
As you can see Britain always has been a multi-cultural place.

Finally we listened and answered some questions about this topic.

Miriam and I wasn't in the class because we were with the teacher of religion at the convent of Carmelite's nuns, so then we asked to our classmates about this session
They said to us that our new native's teather Meghan has already arrived.
