Definition essay: Friendship.

According to the dictionary "friendship" is just a feeling or a behaviour. But in fact is really much more than that.
The word "friendship" represent a big part of a person's life. A friend is a person wich you can be totally yourself, you can tell her or him everything, and they will help you always. They are one of the most important things in life because without them you wouldn't have a person wich always listen to you and help you to solve your problems. They are esentially in life, they are the person wich you go out with, you can invite them to your house and have a good time. With a friend is very strange to have a real problem, in the case you have it you will solve it and all will be alright again if he or she was a real friend. If they are real you will count with them always in any case. 
In conclusion, a friend is a person with you have totally confidence with. So I think that not having a friend is like not having a good life.

Instalaciones

Una instalación artística es un género de arte contemporaneo que comenzó a tomar un fuerte impulso a partir de la década de 1970. Las instalaciones incorporan cualquier medio para crear una experiencia visceral o conceptual en un ambiente determinado. Los artistas de instalaciones por lo general utilizan directamente el espacio de las galerias artisticas.

TECNOLOGICA.

What does the future hold for us?

I always think: What will the future be like? I hope that near to my friends and family, that will be great. I wish I could have a good job and an enormous house! But it scares me also, would the world get to an end? That terrifies me, if the water get polluted, there won't be more life, what would happen if technology advanced and robots increase and take control of the world? That sounds crazy but it could happen I think. In fact I have no idea of what I want to be or of what would I like to work or what career I will follow. I'm scared of the future because I don't know, really, what could happen. I wish it will be great. Above all, I think it could be a very enjoyable idea. If technology improved in a good way, it will be amazing because there can be flying cars and all that staff, that I imagine that it will be and incredible experience.

Petition letter

Dear Local Authorities,

I am Malena Zampaglioni. I'm 14 years old. I live in Burzaco but I go to Newlands school that is located in Adrogue. I've studied there for 9 years.

In Kolkata there are some problems but above all, there are two that are the most important. The first problem is the constant threat of flooding. And the second is that many families have no home other than the pavement.

For helping to solve these problems I give money to poor families to be able to, at least, eat something.

It is my understanding that the authorities have to do something to solve this.

I am telling you this because I am really upset that nobody cares for this.

Thanks for your cooperation.

              Malena.

Derechos del niño

En la clase de "Construcción de la ciudadanía" estuvimos trabajando con los Derechos del Niño.

A medida que los fuimos aprendiendo, nos pareció buena idea mostrárselo a niños de escuelas que podrían no conocerlos.

Antes de ir a estas escuelas, preparamos posters que mostraban los derechos, les hicimos una encuesta acerca de las cosas que se debían y las que no se debían hacer. Luego, les dimos una hoja a cada uno donde los niños tenían que dibujar un recuerdo bueno y otro malo, mientras que ellos iban terminando sus dibujos nosotros los comparábamos con los derechos. También creamos una obra y por ultimo una canción que representaba los derechos.

El Lunes 19 de Septiembre del 2011, fuimos junto a nuestra profesora y la mamá de un compañero a la Escuela nº53 en Burzaco. El objetivo era enseñarles a chicos de 4 grado de primaria que tienen derechos que los pueden proteger, de la violencia, etc.

Al llegar nos presentamos y explicamos en lo que consistía nuestro proyecto y lo que les íbamos a enseñar. La primera actividad fue la de los dibujos. Varios de ellos se dibujaron en situaciones violentas , un nene dibujo a un hombre con un arma, otra nena a dos mujeres peleándose, entre otros. También se dibujaron en el parque, o jugando al fútbol y dos de las niñas que se encontraban en el grado dibujaron el nacimiento de un hermano.

Luego, les hicimos una encuesta la cual nos hizo saber si ellos sabían lo que era correcto hacer y lo que no. Pero pareció que ya sabían lo que estaba mal y bien. Así que cuando vayamos a la próxima escuela planeamos cambiar esta actividad.

Después de eso, realizamos una obra la cual consistía en unos chicos jugando al fútbol los cuales se dividían en dos equipos. Uno de los integrantes del equipo perdedor se peliaba con sus otros amigos, y al contarle al papá el le decía que era una decepción para la familia. Después representaron como revovinaban el tiempo y mostraron como debía ser la reacción del chico y del papá en realidad. Salio bastante bien, y a los chicos les gusto.

Ya casi en el final, les mostramos unos posters con los derechos que consideramos mas importantes y le pusimos una imagen a cada uno, a partir de esto se los explicamos. Esto les fue mucho mas interesante que lo de los dibujos.

Y por ultimo les hicimos escuchar una canción, la cual no les gusto mucho.

Con estas actividades y la reacción de los niños, nos sentimos mas confiados para la próxima escuela a la que vayamos.

Vida.

La vida en un futuro puede ser buena o mala. La vida es todo para alguien. Es la razón por la que existe todo lo que existe. Tiene sus problemas pero también sus soluciones. Hay momentos difíciles pero también momentos que se disfrutan con amigos o familia. Pero algo a lo que en general se le tiene miedo en esta vida es al futuro. Actualmente se le tiene miedo porque gran parte del planeta sufre de escasez de agua permitida para el consumo humano. Sin el agua no habría vida, ningún ser vivo existiría y es por eso que hay que cuidarla. Hay muchas reservas de agua como los glaciares que por la contaminación, principalmente del hombre, hace que se eleven las temperaturas y que estos hielos se derritan. Resumiendo, la vida en un futuro podría desaparecer si estos recursos no se cuidan, hay que tomar conciencia. 

The Great Gatsby: Chapter 9

The Great Gatsby: Chapter 9

After two years, I remembered that day, and that night , full of polices and photographers and newspaper men in Gatsby’s door all day, it seemed a little tired for Gatsby. There was a large rope stretched all along the main gate, and there was a rude policeman to keep out the curious that wanted to enter and see something in there. But for some little boys it took not long to discover that they could enter through my yard, I usually found them about the pool with a very surprised face. One man with a serious look, a suit and a black hat, perhaps a detective, I thought, used the expression “madman” as he saw Wilson’s body one rainy and dark afternoon, and next day the key for the newspaper reports was his voice.

Most of those reports that this kind of people public newspapers were usually untrue and grotesque. There was a very interesting testimony that Michaelis published that brought to light that Wilson suspected about his wife. Catherine looked very surprised about this, she didn’t say a word, she was like “lost” she didn’t know what to say when she looked at the coronel, also she lied saying that her sister was completely happy with her husband and that she had never met Gatsby. She was trying to convince herself because she felt that her suggestion was more than she could ensure. At that moment, Wilson changed completely, he became deranged.

This was not the most important thing at all. I was on Gatsby’s side, and alone. Everything that talked about him, involved me. At first this was something strange for me, but then when Gatsby lied in his house, and didn’t speak, didn’t even move, I started to felt guilty because nobody else cared about him really. So, half an hour later we found him, I called Daisy, but strangely she had left with Tom away early in the afternoon. They didn’t leave any address, no telephone numbers, nothing, they practically disappeared. I wanted to get someone for him, I couldn’t find anyone, and he never told me definitively if his parents were dead. So I went to this desk but I found NOTHING.

The following day, I sent the butler to new York to give a letter to a man, called Wolfshiem, who had early asked for information. Later, I had received Wolfshiem’s answer. The letter said that he was so surprised about all this that happened but that he was in a very important business, and that he couldn’t get involved in this now, but that he wanted to know when and where the funeral was going to take place. After this, I received a call from Chicago, he didn’t even let me talk, he started to talk really fast, when he finished I told him that Gatsby was dead, instantly the connection was broken.

At the third day that I received that strange call, I received a telegram from Henry C. Gatz, Gatsby’s father, saying that he was coming immediately, so the funeral was postponed. When I saw him, he seems to be so lonely. He also looked very excited that it was difficult for me to take out his coat, so I invited him to the music room and he took a sit. He looked really nervous, he told me that he had heard the news about Gatsby on the Chicago newspaper and that he didn’t know how to reach me.

I took him to the room were Gatsby died, when he entered in, he opened the door and came out, he started to look through the beautiful view that he had around him, he started to talk about his feelings, he told me that he was very surprised about all the power that Gatsby had compared to a long time before, but that he also thought that Gatsby was mad, it intrigued me so much the reason, but he didn’t say it and I didn’t have so much confidence to ask him. A bit later I took him to the bedroom upstairs and while he changed his clothes we talked about the funeral, he told me what Gatsby preferred most and that he had helped to build part of the country and also I told him that we were really close friends.

While Mr. Gatz was sleeping I started to think about all the good moments that we went through with Gatsby, it was really amazing how at first we really didn’t know each other and then we finished like being best friends. I thought about what a good person he was for me, and that I couldn’t believe how many people critized him, he had a lot of enemies I think, and I was always thinking about what would had happened to him if sometimes someone entered and tried to kill him, it was frustrating thinking of that, but well, now he is not here any more and he can’t come back.

The night of the next day, a man called Klipspringer called. I was so excited, because i thought that he maybe knew about what had happend and wanted to know when the funeral was going to be and al about it, so I started to tell him about the funeral and all of what we were organizing with Mr. Gatz, but finally he told me that he couldn’t come and that he only called because he had left a pair of shoes in one of Gatsby’s parties, I was really disappointed, I was so furious that after what he said I didn’t listen to him, and I hanged up.

That night I thought about that many people was using Gatsby really, because they only cared about his parties, not even a little they mattered about him.

The next morning, I was really sad, it was the day of the funeral, I was hoping that lots of people of his parties went, but after last night I really didn’t have much hope. That morning I went to New York to talk to Meyer Wolfshiem, I had to tell him so many things that I really thought that I wouldn’t have time, when I was in way to Wolfshiem office I crossed with a woman that I recognised from one of Gatsby’s party, and I stopped her and told her about the funeral but she was really sincere, like any other, she told me that she really didn’t care about what happened in Gatsby’s life and that she only went to his parties to meet new people. I was so angry, I wanted to shout all I felt in that moment, until a woman opened the door telling me that Wolfshiem wasn’t there and that he had gone to Chicago. But I knew it wasn’t true so I insisted until she stood in front of me and I started to remember when I first met her. We talked a very long time, but she also told me that she would like to go to the funeral but that she couldn’t. We also talked about things that she knew or that she had lived with Gatsby.

I went back home, me and Gatsby’s father went to the funeral, it was all very silent, nobody appeared so I insisted to wait a little more, but I had no way, nobody was going to come, but in a moment I heard a car, it was the man with owl-eyed glasses. I started to thought in detail about the best moments that we go through.

Before going, I wanted to leave everything just right. I saw and talked to Jordan. But apart from being in love with her, I turned around and go away. Then one afternoon I saw Tom, he was really crazy, I didn’t know what was going on, I asked him what happened before Wilson killed Gatsby, he told me that he had to lie to him because he was going to kill him if he didn’t-

When I left, Gatsby’s and also my house were very neglected, but I didn’t care, when I saw the two houses I couldn’t stop thinking of all the things that I went  inside there...

Gatsby.

CAP

Cap stand for Common Agricultural Policy. This was set up in the EU in 1962. Its aims were to support agriculture and increase average field size. The following paragraphs will talk about the ADVANTAGES and DISADVANTAGES of Cap.


On one hand the advantages of the Cap are that it supports economy, it reduces poverty because now farmers are able to go to work to the country, because of this it also helps farmers.


On the other hand the disadvantage is that it makes you lose money; apart from this, taxes are higher and you can't export your products.


All in all, I think that the Cap, oon one hand, it can help people but on other hand it doesn't benefit them.

Investigando sobre el agua.

¿Qué es el agua?
El agua es una sustancia cuya molécula esta formada por dos átomos de hidrógeno y uno de oxigeno (H2O).
El agua se puede encontrar en 3 estados; liquido, solido y gaseoso.
El agua cubre el 71% de la superficie de la corteza terrestre. Se localiza principal mente en los océanos donde se concentra el 96,5% del agua total, los glaciares y casquetes polares poseen el 1,74%, los depósitos subterráneos (acuíferos), los permafrost y los glaciares continentales suponen el 1,72% y el restante 0,04% se reparte en orden decreciente entre lagos, humedad del suelo, atmósfera, embalses, ríos y seres vivos.
Átomo de hidrógeno
El átomo de hidrógeno es el átomo más simple existente.
Está formado por un protón que se encuentra en el núcleo del átomo y que contiene más del 99% de la masa del átomo, y un sólo electrón que "órbita" alrededor de dicho núcleo. Y no posee neutrones.
Átomo de oxigeno
Es lo único que distingue el dióxido del monóxido de carbono. El primero es el que expulsamos durante el proceso de respiración; el segundo, muy tóxico, el que resulta de una mala combustión y que puede llegar a causar la muerte si se inhala durante un largo tiempo en algún lugar cerrado.

Aprendiendo sobre glaciares

Hielos continentales:

• 1994: 13.500 km cuadrados.
• 1989: 13.000 km cuadrados.
• 2009: 12.500 km cuadrados.

Estas medidas representan la superficie de los glaciares,  el decrecimiento del hielo patagonico sur.

Videoarte

Lo que yo entendí de video arte es que es un movimiento artístico el cual surgió en Estados Unidos y en Europa (1963).  Pretende explorar las aplicaciones alternativas y artísticas  mediante medios electrónicos incluyendo videos y audio.

No se asemeja al cine ya que puede no haber diálogos.

Generalmente es usado por personas que buscan crear algo similar al cine pero de una forma más económica.

Se basa en el formato y en la posibilidad de establecer una dinámica visual y conceptual a través de la narración filmada o fotográfica.

Su objetivo es crear  nuevas narrativas y nuevas formas de visualizar.

Ejemplo:

Hielos continentales.

Actividad 1:
Los glaciares están compuestos por agua dulce, son una masa de hielo que se mueve por la fuerza de su peso.
También son una fuente muy importante para la energía hidroeléctrica y son un recurso muy valioso para el riego.
En la Patagonia austral se encuentran 47 glaciares. Los glaciares argentinos descienden al este en los lagos patagónicos y al oeste en los fiordos de chile, océano pacifico.

Actividad 3:
Primera parte:


1. Los científicos monitorean los cambios en el hielo usando una variedad de métodos, incluidos los de temporada. Estos son:


Mediciones de balance de masa: la medición de la masa de agua gana o se pierde cada verano en la superficie del glaciar.
Mediciones de área: Utilizando los datos del GPS para medir el mapa de las dimensiones de los glaciares individuales y la extensión del glaciar regionales.
Mediciones de profundidad de radar: Usando el radar para medir la profundidad del hielo.
La fotografía de repetición: fotografiando los glaciares con el tiempo.
Medidas de la velocidad: a partir de datos GPS para medir la velocidad de los glaciares.
La teledetección: empleando aérea la fotografía y las imágenes de satélite.


2. El avance y retroceso de un glaciar está determinado por el aumento de la acumulación o de la ablación respectivamente. Los motivos de este avance o retroceso de los glaciares pueden ser, obviamente, naturales o humanos, siendo estos últimos los más evidentes desde 1850, por el desarrollo de la industrialización ya que el efecto más notorio de la misma es la enorme producción de anhídrido carbónico o dióxido de carbono.
Equilibrio: es la línea que separa la zona de acumulación de la zona de ablación en la superficie del glaciar.


3. La superficie del planeta soporta una carga de 38 millones de kilómetros cúbicos de hielo. Como el agua es más densa que el hielo, esos 38 millones, al derretirse, se quedarían en unos 33 millones de kilómetros cúbicos de agua.Si el hielo se derritiera, toda o al menos casi toda el agua, se iría al océano. El océano tiene una superficie de 360 millones de kilómetros cuadrados, si estuviera constante la superficie del océano y los 33 millones de km3 del hielo fundido se esparciera por toda la superficie.

El gato negro.

Nos basamos en el cuento "El gato negro" de Edgar Allan Poe y usando el movie maker, insertamos imágenes, partes de videos y descripciones de las imágenes. 

Este cuento se trata de un hombre el cual tenía muchos animales pero el que mas amaba era su gato negro. Al pasar el tiempo el hombre fue odiando cada vez más al gato, y por causa del demonio de la perversidad y el alcohol le saca un ojo, como le daba pena lo mato. Un día estaba en un bar y el protagonista e encuentra otro gato negro, era igual al anterior excepto que este gato tenía la punta de la cola blanca. La esposa del hombre amaba a aquel gato. El hombre en otro ataque de perversidad intenta matar al gato, pero la esposa interviene. El protagonista mata a su esposa y a el gato, luego para que nadie sospechara los empareda. Un día fueron unos policías a la casa del hombre y lo descubrieron por que el gato maulló. 

Diary entry.

28th November, 1912
Today is a very sad day because my wife, Emma, died, yesterday. I feel very guilty because these last days I didn’t pay enough attention to her. I feel I can listen to her voice, calling me, trying to communicate with me. But I don’t know if this that I hear is a hallucination or it is something real. I am like lost, I don’t know what to do, I am feeling so guilty, I have to find the way to see her again as when our love was real and have the chance to give her all that attention that I didn’t give.
Now I’m going away. So to express and release my feeling I will write a poem, “The voice”.

Hacia el futuro.

En 1ºES en el Colegio Newlands hemos realizado un proyecto, junto a expedición bicentenario, que consistia en escribir deseos de lo que queremos para el futuro. Estas cartas fueron metidas en una capsula para ser enterradas en los hielos continentales de Argentina, para luego ser abiertas en 100 años.


En 2do ES un andinista vino a darnos una charla para que estemos más informados sobre el tema. Fue una charla muy interesante que nunca olvidaremos.


Estabamos muy emocionados porque fue una experiencia que nunca creimos que ibamos a vivir.

Rio de Janeiro: a beautiful place

What do you think about Rio de Janeiro? I think that it is a beautiful place. I would love being there all days.


It is a big city located in the south-east of Brazil. It has two wonderful beaches, Copacabana and Ipanema.


You could think that this place is perfect but it has its disadvantages, for example, there are so many homeless people. Another problems are: crime, especially in the favellas, drug trafficking, traffic and pollution.


All in all, apart from these problems, Rio de Janeiro is a pretty place and I think everyone has to visit it.

Report on how to recluit young people for the Nazi party.

INTRODUCTIOIN:


The purpose of this report is to recommend things that teenagers would be interested in doing to join the party.


INTERESTING THINGS:


Nowadays teenagers are interested mostly in music and food. A good idea would be to make a festival with things that they like, for example a pizza party and contact a good D-jockey that plays some pop and rap music.


BORING THINGS:


Something that young people don't enjoy is formal food like Sushi and slow music like Blues. If you include this kind of things probably nobody will join the party.


CONCLUSION:


Clearly this report shows and recommends good points and bad points to organize the party.

Creacion del mundo

Expedición Bicentenario.

El proyecto llamado Expedición bicentenario 2010, se trata acerca de chicos de escuelas que estubieron durante el bicentenario y quisieron escribir cartas con las cosas que se imaginaban y querian para el futuro. Estas cartas se enterraran en una capsula, en la Provincia de Buenos Aires,  para que en 100 años o mas sea descubierta y las cartas sean leidas por gente de esa epoca.
