Today, when we have arrived to the class of social sciences, Paqui has written a scheme in the blackboard about how the modern states birth, and it includes the main features, the reaction to absolutims and the stages, that there were two: Authoritarian Monarchies (15th-16th centuries) and Absolute Monarchy (17th century), and we have copied it in our notebooks.
Later we have checked our homework, they were about the reforms made by the catholic monarchs to reinforce their authority and the absolute monarchy. Some people have read their summaries and Paqui has checked them and also she has asked us some things about the summaries.
After this, Paqui has added some information to our summaries about the Absolute Monarchy. She has explained that Aragon and Castile were independent kingdoms, Isabel goberned in Castile and Fernando in Aragon, but sometimes he helped Isabel to gobern Castile because it was big and it needed more control.
Also in the class of today we have learned some new words: Holy Brotherhood (Santa Hermandad), to watch (vigilar), to hire (contratar), to advice (aconsejar), currency (moneda) and by drawing lots (por sorteo).
To finish the class Paqui has said that for homework we have to read a sheet that she has given us the first day about the Modern Era and we have to make a scheme about the Age of discovery.

ReplyDeleteVery good journal Alicia! I like so mach. The photo is very good, I like it. I found one small mistake ,you wrote " Later we have checked our homework, they were about the reforms made by the catholic monarchs to reinforce their authority and the absolute monarchy." Absolute Monarchy is in capital letter.

ReplyDeleteHello Alicia! One thing: Catholic Monarchs in capital letters. And if you want to add more information, Paqui has explainted that in this period it wasn't common the fusion of kingdoms; the Kings usually divided their kingdoms between their sons. Nothing more. Bye.
ReplyDeleteHello everybody,
ReplyDeleteAs the other students have said, Catholic Monarchs, Authoritarian and Absolute Monarchy have to be written in capital letters. But also Social Sciences and States.
These are other things you should correct:
- ...how the modern States were born
- We don´t write in the blackboard or in the notebook, but on them.
- Isabella ruled or governed in Castile. Ferdinand also intervened in Castile, but not because it was bigger, but because it was richer and more important.
- You have to correct the source of the picture: you have to close the picture you´ve chosen before copying and pasting the link, because if you don´t do it, the link is too long and it refers not to the website where you found it, but only to the picture. You could also include the caption (pie de foto) of the picture, an explanation of what it represents.
You could also write that we´re going to take a picture of the group to include it on the blog on Monday.
That´s all. Have a nice weekend!
