AMPLIACIÓN DE INGLÉS

Para la evaluación de la asignatura, vamos a utilizar la actividad que ya teníamos y que, desgraciadamente no pudimos llevar a cabo por culpa del maldito bicho. Así será más fácil para vosotros ya que la teníais (o deberíais haberla tenido) preparada.

EL PLAZO DE PRESENTACIÓN TERMINA EL 22 DE MAYO DE 2020 A LAS 14:20. OS RECOMIENDO ENTREGARLO ANTES POR SI TENÉIS QUE REPETIR ALGUNA PARTE O POR SI SURGE ALGÚN PROBLEMA DE ENVÍO.

La actividad consiste en la entrega de un vídeo con una presentación oral y de un documento de presentación (puede ser un PowerPoint). Se puntuará de la siguiente manera:

Cada persona hará su parte del trabajo. No hace falta que lo unáis en un mismo documento, eso lo haré yo. CADA PERSONA DEBERÁ PREPARAR SOLO SU PARTE.

Para evitar que se lea la información (como ha ocurrido en otras ocasiones) deberéis estar a un metro y medio mínimo de la cámara con la que estéis haciendo la grabación. Cuidado porque esto implicará que tengáis que hablar más alto y más claro. Os aconsejo escuchar el vídeo y verlo antes de enviarlo para cerciorarse de que se oye bien.

Recordad que se puede echar un vistazo a las notas para consultar algún dato pero no leer un documento entero.

Finalmente, tened en cuenta las pautas que ya os entregué en clase. En caso de que alguien lo haya extraviado, os dejo aquí la información.

The Importance of Music in Schools

"Music helps the mind develop and grow," my dad often says, and I have found this to be very true. It is a proven fact that participating in a music program in school will help develop your brain to a higher level and faster than other students. Music actually improves communication between the right and left sides of the brain, allowing you to gain better comprehension and memorization skills. So, why do we need music in our schools? Well, because music is everything.

Music is science. It is exact and demands acoustics. The conductor's score is a graph that contains volume changes, melody and harmony, all the while keeping the group at a constant pace.

Music is math. It is based on the rhythmic subdivisions of time, done in a split second.

Music is history. The music you hear or play is usually an indication of the time and environment in which it was created.

Music is physical education. It requires an immense amount of coordination of fingers, hands, arms, lips, cheeks and facial muscles. Not to mention control of your diaphragm, back, stomach and chest muscles to make sure every note comes out clearly and in pitch.

Music is a foreign language. Its terms are usually in Italian and the music is not in any language known to man. It is its own language and uses symbols to represent ideas.

Music is the universal language that everyone understands and can relate to. Music is what brings everything together.

Most of all, music is art. It is the greatest form of art that allows a human to take boring notes on a page, and transform them into an emotion and feeling you cannot measure.

Music is just as important as all the classes you are required to take, and it is critical that music classes remain in schools. Not only to provide a place for students to belong, but also something that will help their minds grow and develop like no other class.

Complete the sentences with a maximum of 4 words.

0. A number of mental skills get better if you go to a music program in school.

1. Music has elements that change or stay the same, comparing it to…

2. Music is a reflection of when it was composed, it can be related to…

3. Sport and music both need a lot…

ACTIVIDAD 2/3: LAS PRUEBAS ORALES TENDRÁN LUGAR EN LA SEMANA DEL 18 AL 22 DE MAYO

El resto de la semana la vais a tomar de preparación y estudio para la prueba oral que se realizará mediante videoconferencia y con parejas que serán asignadas dentro del grupo de clase en el que estabais trabajando. Las pruebas tendrán lugar a lo largo de la semana que viene (del 18 al 22 de mayo). El listado estará listo el miércoles 13 de mayo y estará colgado en este blog.

Aquí os dejo lo que hemos trabajado en clase. Debéis ser capaces de abordar todas las preguntas ya que las hemos trabajado en clase. Por un lado tenéis una serie de preguntas de cada tema y, por otro, una serie de preguntas relativas a las fotocopias con las que hemos estado trabajando.

Como veréis, algunas preguntas están subrayadas. Esas preguntas las voy a hacer SEGURO, así que aseguraos de que sabéis contestarlas. Como veis, son preguntas de 1º y 2º de la ESO por lo que puntuará que se contesten de forma elaborada y completa y con cierta fluidez que indique que se han preparado con anterioridad.
