THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE IN THE MATH LESSON.

THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE IN THE MATHS LESSON (a post by Aroa Ramos and Olivia Hestmark).
I was given the opportunity to work with the students of 1st of ESO to teach them about the International Day of Peace. I showed the students a video of Martin Luther King Jr., a famous Nobel Peace Prize winner for his work during the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s in the US. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have A Dream” speech in front of the Washington Monument.

 After the students watched the video of this famous speech, the students were given an opportunity to write their own “I Have a Dream” speech about their own dreams for the world and the future. I loved all of the responses! The students wrote some really lovely responses! 

ST. VALENTINE AND MATHS

VALENTINE'S DAY IN THE MATHS LESSON (by Aroa Ramos and Olivia Hestmark).
This past week with my 1st of ESO mathematics students I celebrated Saint Valentine’s Day, or Valentine’s Day as it’s more commonly called in English. We learned some new and romantic vocabulary to help celebrate the day! I taught them some very American slang like the most common word to describe romance: “crush”. We discussed the differences in Valentine’s celebration in Spain vs. the United States. Next we watched a music video by Disney, which uses the words Love and Lava as a play on words. I think the students really enjoyed the opportunity to learn about this holiday!

MYTHS AND FOLKLORE, a post by Olivia Hestmark

This week in 4th of ESO B I continued to work with the students about legends, scary stories, myths and folklore. I showed the example of La Llorona, a classic folklore tale from the hills of Mexico and New Mexico. I chose this example because of the cross cultural influence from (colonial) Spanish culture, indigenous culture and colonial English culture. The story depicts a woman who, in the wake of sadness being left by her Spanish husband, goes crazy and murders he own children. The story of La Llorona details the creation of the spirit who haunts weary travelers passing through the hills. We spoke a bit about what folks;ore is and what it means. I gave the example of the classic children playground song "ring around the rosie", which is a rather macabre children game that comes from the times of the Bubonic plague. We spoke a babout theit about how folk traditions such as music, stories and literature are passed down between generations, and what their social and cultural significance means to us today. This was a very interesting class with the students! It's always such a delight to work with this group, and we all learned a little more about the other person's culture!

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE

Although the last years have been remarkable for the recognition of women in science, there are still many relatively-unknown women who have pursued science over the years and have changed the world with their research throughout history: Emilie du Chatelet, Caroline Herschel, Mary Anning, Elisabeth Blackwell and many more.
You can learn about them in the following links:

SCARY STORIES (A post by Olivia Hestmark)

 Recently in the 4th of ESO B group I gave a lesson on scary stories and differences between Brittish and American English. The students were preparing for a week long language exchange and I thought I would be good to introduce some new vocabulary and "slang" they had never seen before! We then went on to read a classic scary children's story called Jenny and the Green Ribbon from the book In a Dark Dark Room. I turned out the lights and read the story in a low voice, pausing only to instill more fear! Afterwards the students split into two groups and were given time to write their own scary stories in teams to present to the class. One group wrote a story about a haunted farming village, and the other wrote a very terrifying story about a haunted grandfather clock! It's always such a fun opportunity for me to share little things about my country and culture like this, who knew Jenny and the Green Ribbon would be such a big hit!!!

ENGLISH IMMERSION PROGRAM, JANUARY 2020.

On this immersion program, our students of 4º ESO have had the opportunity of being continually exposed to English, using this language to communicate with their host families, with other students at St Philip Howard High School and in the trips to Worthing, Brighton, Chichester and London.
It has been a wonderful experience!
