Today in the Social Sciences class all the classmates were very nervous for the note of the exam! First we have copied the points of the next Unit:
UNIT 2: THE 18th CENTURY: CRISIS OF THE ANCIENT RÉGIME AND THE BORBOUNS IN SPAIN.
1. Introduction
2. The Ancien Régime and changes in the 18th century
3. Enlightment and Enlightened Despotism
4. Independence of the 13 colonies of North America and the creation of the USA
5. The 18th century in Spain
A) The war of Spanish Succesion
B) The first Bourbons
a) Centralist Absolutism: Philip V and Ferdinand VI
b) Enlightened Despotism. Charles III
Then Paqui has asked for the date of the next exam, we could choose between 10th or 13th, I prefer the 10th but finally the exam is on 13th of December. After this, Paqui has written the first point of the unit:
1. Introduction: Period of transition: most of the features of the Modern Era remined, but some changes anticipated the big transformation of the Contemporary Age.
Then Paqui has written a scheme to complete the point 2 of the Unit: The Ancien Régime and changes in the 18th century. We have to write definition, main features and the changes of the 18th century.
Definition. Was a term used by the French revolutionaries to define all they wanted to get rid off. This expression is used to explain the feautures of the European societis during the Modern Age (15th-18th centuries)
Main features.
-Predominant political system (Absolute Monarchy)
-Estate based society
-Limited and subsistence economy: main economy activity agriculture
-Ancien Régime dermography
For home, we have to complete the main features and the changes in the 18th century with page 5 of the book. Paqui has explained three pages of the power point presentation of this Unit, about the Ancien Régime, what they wanted to establish, and the main fatures and society. She also has explained the caricature of the second page and she has copied a pyramid with the society and its estates. Here you have the power point presentation:
At the end of the class she has given us the exams, in general the marks were good, but I had some silly mistakes because I didn`t pay attention to the questions and I confused the definitions of the exercice one, I was very nervous!! But I am happy with my mark. The exam was easy and a little long.
Finally the words of the glossary of today are:
Enlightement: Ilustración
Lower case letter: Minúscula
Interior customes: Aduanas interiores
Gates: Puertas
Estate: Estamento
Happy weekend Paqui, Cristina and classmates! See you soon :)

Hi Bea! Your journal is really good. I have seen three little mistakes:
-In the second line: all classmates were very nervous. I think that you can use present perfect: all classmates HAVE BEEN very nervous.
-In the second line too: the note of the exam. I think thah the correct form is: the MARK of the exam.
-In the last paragraph you have written: in general the marks were good, instead of in general the marks HAVE BEEN good.
Good work !! Have a nice weekend.
I have made a mistake: is that instead of thah. Sorry !!
Ohhhh Ángela yes, thanks for your attention! kisses :)
Hello Beatriz!
Very good work! Your journal are very complete and has all the information of the class. You have had some mistakes but without importance! Very good work Bea:) Kisses.
Hello Beatriz,
Apart from the mistakes Angela told you about (the use of the present perfect and “marks” instead of “notes”), I have seen some more related to grammar and vocabulary:
1. Introduction: Period of transition: most of the features of the Modern Era remained, but some changes anticipated the big transformation of the Contemporary Age.
2. Don’t write the article in the following sentences (the article appears in bold, but you have to omit it):
Then Paqui has written a scheme to complete the point 2 of the Unit
I confused the definitions of the exercise one, I was very nervous!!
This expression is used to explain the features of the European societies. There are also spelling mistakes in “features” and “societies”
3. Remember the subject is obligatory: Definition. Itwas a term used by the French
4. Be careful with the use of ALSO. When used with the present perfect, it is placed between the auxiliary HAS/HAVE and the past participle: She has also explained
5. In this sentence, The exam was easy and a little long, it is better to use “but” instead of “and”: The exam was easy, but a little bit long.
And that’s all. Have a nice week you too, Beatriz.
Hello,
These are my comments:
- Please, WRITE A TITLE FOR YOUR POST: the day
- very nervous for the mark/ grade of the exam
- the exam will take place on 13th of December.
- the features of the Modern Era remained, but some changes anticipated the big transformations
- You can't copy the xheme as you have it on your notebook. You have to write complete sentences: Ancien Régime was a term..., Its main features were
- Demography. You have the same mistake on your notebook. Demography is the study of population and it doesn't have abything to do with the skin (dermo).
- For homework
- three slides of the Powerpoint presentation
- She has also explained the caricature of the second slide
- Enlightenment
- Interior customs
You could explain more things, apart from what you copied on the notebook. For example, what I explained about the satyrical drawing or about the society of the Ancien Régime.
That's all. Good night!
