Pronto será o día da muller traballadora. Para ter información sobre moitas mulleres galegas, mulleres loitadoras mais pouco coñecidas a meirande parte delas, podedes visitar esta interesantísima páxina, un fascinante álbum de mulleres.

Tamén ás mulleres se lles fixo unha homenaxe o curso pasado ( e probablemente a experiencia se repetirá no presente ano académico) no IES Ribeira do Louro de Porriño. A profesora de filosofía Virginia Calviño preparou a un grupo de alumnas que interpretaron a mulleres sobranceiras na historia.Hildegarda de Binden, Ada Byron ou Concepción Arenal cobraron vida ante os alumnos do mencionado centro e doutros institutos da provincia de Pontevedra. Aquí podes acceder a fotografías e textos.

Si te cuesta la pronunciación del inglés y crees que necesitas práctica, esta página puede ayudarte mucho. Ejercicios variadísimos para mejorar de manera entretenida.

O día 3 de Marzo vainos visitar a escritora Laura Gallego García. Alumnos do primeiro ciclo de ESO do noso instituto, o IES Xesús Taboada Chivite de Verín, están a ler a súas obras Fenris el elfo e Crónicas de la torre. Son lecturas moi atractivas para estes rapaces, lecturas que os adentran en mundos máxicos e que os "atrapan" como habitantes doutro mundo, o dos libros. Estamos seguros de que a charla con Laura Gallego será moi interesante para eles. Facendo click aquí entraredes na páxina oficial desta autora, con información sobre a súa biografía e a súa obra.

La mayoría de mis alumnos de ESO y bachillerato están "enamorados" del libro y de la película Twilight, de Stephenie Meyers. Son ellos quienes me han pedido una actividad de listening comprehension utilizando el trailer de la película, así que durante la clase de hoy verán uno de los trailers oficiales de la misma mientras rellenan este típico ejercicio de fill in the gaps:

TWILIGHT

TWILIGHT is an action, modern-day love story between a teen girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a bit different, never fitting in with the girls at her school. When Bella is sent to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn’t have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Edward has been waiting 90 years for a soul mate, which he finds in Bella. They are soon swept up in a passionate and unorthodox romance. Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will they do when a clan of new vampires – James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) – come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?

Now listen to the trailer in English and fill in the blank spaces:

Bella: You’re impossibly fast and __________.

Bella: You’ve gotta give me some __________.

Edward: I’d rather hear your theories.

Bella: I have considered radioactive __________ and kryptonite.
