GUY FAWKES

"
 In 1605, a group of Catholic conspirators plotted to assassinate King James I of England (and VI of Scotland) by blowing up the House of Lords during the opening of parliament.

They hid kegs full of gunpowder in the cellars beneath the chamber where the king and the rest of the political elite would assemble. Enough powder was stored to completely destroy the building and kill everyone present.

One of the conspirators, Guy Fawkes, was tasked with igniting this huge bomb. It is Fawkes' effigy that is still burned on 5 November bonfires to this day.

NUEVAS DIRECTRICES PARA SELECTIVIDAD

Photo: Daviddkb. Flicker.

La ponencia de selectividad de la asignatura de inglés ha hecho públicas unas nuevas directrices para la PAU. A sólo tres meses de la prueba se han dado cuenta de un error: Debe haber dos opciones completas de las que el alumno tiene que elegir una. No estoy segura de que lo que en principio parece una ventaja lo sea. La mayor parte de los profesores de Bachillerato que asistieron a la reunión de la ponencia creía que el hecho de tener que decidir entre dos

textos escritos en inglés podía perjudicar más que beneficiar a los alumnos, teniendo en cuenta que no se amplía el tiempo dedicado a la prueba y el estado de ansiedad con que normalmente se enfrentan a los exámenes además de ser la tercera prueba del día. Si estáis interesados en leer el nuevo texto, podéis pinchar

APRENDE A PRONUNCIAR

He encontrado una página web donde podemos oir todo lo que escribamos

Cuando muevas el ratón alrededor de la mujer o del hombre que aparece en pantalla, sus ojos seguirán al indicador y además, repetirá cualquier cosa que escribas en el espacio del recuadro que aparece en la parte inferior izquierda de la imagen.
Luego deberás oprimir 'Say it' (Dígalo) y por los altavoces saldrá una voz que repetirá lo escrito incluso con distintos acentos

También en los espacios siguientes se podrá cambiar las personas que hablan, sean hombres o mujeres, y los idiomas.

CARMONA ON MY MIND

En el año 1986 me dieron mi primer destino definitivo en el instituto de FP de Carmona, hoy llamado IES Arrabal, a treinta kilómetros de Sevilla. Allí estuve tres cursos académicos y tuve magníficas experiencias tanto personales como profesionales.
El pasado sábado tuve la oportunidad de volver y pasar un día estupendo. Encontré la ciudad muy cambiada después más de 20 años , sobre todo el instituto, y sus alrededores.
Fuimos a la Oficina Municipal de Turismo y conseguimos un mapa y algo muy importante: Una guía gastronómica que nos guió por las mejores tapas de la zona .
Después de andar por sus calles y visitar el museo de la ciudad, acabamos tomando un café en el maravilloso parador que domina toda la vega de Carmona y que estaba animadísimo a esa hora de la tarde.

SOMOS BILINGÜES

Hola de nuevo.
A partir de este curso mi instituto es uno de los nuevos centros bilingües de la provincia de Sevilla. La verdad es que esto hace que tengamos que ponernos las pilas en muchos aspectos y especialmente en la formación. Dieciséis profesores del centro se están preparando para impartir sus asignaturas en inglés el próximo curso. Algunos lo hacen a distancia a través del programa That´s English´, otros lo hacen en Internet en el CAL online , otros acuden a las Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas y algunos se pagan su propia formación en academias de idiomas reconocidas y autorizadas, la mayoría pertenecientes a la asociación ACEIA .
Asimismo, un grupo de profesores involucrados en este proyecto está recibiendo cursos formativos de tecnologías de la información y un curso on line para formación de centros bilingües en año cero.
Este esfuerzo colectivo tendrá su premio el año próximo cuando el centro abra sus puertas a nuestros primeros alumnos de la sección bilingüe y podamos poner en práctica todo lo aprendido en este año de formación

IES PUNTA DEL VERDE

Soy profesora en el IES Punta del Verde. Estamos ensayando un blog para la sección bilingüe del centro.

BIENVENIDOS

Hola.
Este es un blog creado para practicar lo aprendido en el curso

del CEP de Sevilla sobre blogs y la plataforma 2.0
Espero que dentro de poco estará lleno de contenidos que os puedan resultar interesantes.
Saludos.
