JOURNAL Friday, April 26, 2013

26th April

Hello classmates,
Today in social sciences lesson, some people has arrived to class before me. When we went inside class, there were some papers in every desk about the Madrid's trip. Some people thought that these papers were a surprise exam. In these papers was written the date, the prize (10€) and some more things.
Today the journal's turn was for Andrea but she didn't come to class so the journal's turn was for me and here I am...
When Paqui has said that I had to do the journal someone said that today IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!! and everybody has started singing me the Happy Birthday Song.

Well, then we have continued with the lesson. Paqui continued with the unit 6 to finish it. First we have seen Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec who was a french painter and a lithographer. His favourite themes were cabaret dancers and prostitutes like: 

Then we have continued with Paul Cézanne who was a french painter, precursor of Cubism which was the use of geometrical pieces. He used colour to give volume to objects and his paintings became geometrical coloured shapes. 

He also painted some bathers:


With this we have finished with unit 6 and then we started with unit 7 and its summary:
UNIT 7: THE FIRST WORLD WAR AND THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
1.WORLD WAR I 
A) CAUSES AND OUTBREAK
B) DEVELOPMENT
-Features
-Stages
C) PEOPLE TREATIES AND CONSEQUENCES 
2. THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION AND THE USSR
A) RUSSIA UNDER THE USSR
B) THE 1917 REVOLUTIONS
C) BOLSHEVIK RULE
-First years: Civil War, creation of the USSR and economic problems.
-Lenin's succession and Stanilism.

Paqui has said us that Russians called to the king "Tsar". Then Javi and some people said to Paqui that they have problems with their projects and Paqui couldn't correct them in time. Paqui has said us a history about a flu epidemic related to the Swine Flu in Europe, spreaded due to the war. Only spanish newspapers didn't censured the flu epidemic news, and in Germany, France and other countries was censured to avoid the spread of the fear in Europe. Then we have continued with unit 7 with the causes of World War I:
-Rivalries between different European powers: 
  • UK and Germany: economic competition.
  • France and Germany: consequences of the Franco-Prussian War
  • Austria-Hungary and Russia (competition to control the Balkans)
  • Colonial rivalries
-Confronted military alliances:
  • Triple Alliance: Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy
  • Triple Entente: UK, France and Russia. 
-Arms race: big investments in weapons, soldiers and war plants to be ready for war ( Armed peace)
-Exacerbation of nationalism: general tendency of exaltation of the own virtues, contempt towards foreigners and racism.
Then we have spoken about Otto Von Bismarck: 
-He was the Russian prime minister designed system of alliances with the purpose of issolating France.

Then Paqui has passed to the diapositive of Growing tension before 1914 but we haven't seen it because there wasn't enough time.
Then some people has gave the money of the Madrid's trip to Paqui. The other people who go to the trip have to pay on Monday and they have also to bring the permission signed by his/her fathers.

GLOSSARY:
  • WEEL CHAIR: Silla de ruedas
  • WAIST COAT: Chaleco
  • TSAR: Zar
  • PATHS GLORY: Senderos de gloria
  • ARMS RACE: Carrera de armamento
  • CONTEMPT: Desprecio
  • SWINE FLU: Gripe aviar
  • ARMED PEACE: Paz armada

That's all for today, here you have the Power Point of Unit 7. See you on Monday..

Hi angelma,
I think your journal is very well, it´s your best and the last journal. I haven´t seen much mistakes or I didn´t have "ganas" to found them. You have put two dots at the end of the journal. And... that´s all.

Roxana said...

Hello! I like the journal you have written. These are the mistakes I have founded:
- Social Sciences in capital letters.
- some people have arrived
- Paqui has continued
- today it is my birthday
- French in capital letters.
- I think that you could add the name of the paintings you have include.
- we have started with unit 7
- Spanish in capital letters.
- The Spanish newspapers did not only censured the flu epidemic new, but they didn't censured any new.
- some people have given the money
- The other people who will go to the trip have to pay it on Monday
- his/her parents.
I also like the photo you have included about the cake :)
Happy birthday! I hope you have had a good time!
