Monday, 27th October, 2014

Hello to everybody!! Today I'm going to do the journal, and I'm the last student that have to do the journal.Today in Social Sciences class, Paqui has asked about the scheme that we had to do about the Demography, the economy and the society in the 17th century.
-Demography:the population declined for several reasons: bad harvests, plagues, the expulsion of the Moorish, wars, migrations to the Indies.
-Economy: there was an economic recession for several reasons:
·Decrease of production in agriculture due to inefficient farming techniques and bad climatic conditions, which caused droughts and floods. The expulsion of the Moorish also caused a negative impact, especially in the Crown of Aragón.
·The arrival of cheaper and better quality foreign products imported from the northern Europe caused a negative impact over p0cal craftsmanship. Many  workshops went bankrupt. +·Less demand for products, as a result of the demographic crisis. Trade declined too.
-Society: the nobless were the social model. They lived off rents, without working. Hand work was considered shameful and dishonest. Many people aspired to live without working. There were lots of beggars and rogues, who lived from begging and crime.
Then, Paqui has  asked us if we have an idol, and we have spoken about Julian JRA and his song.
After this, Paqui has  asked us about Spanish scientifics and about Spanish writers. We also spoke about famous people who are famous without doing anything, like Belén Esteban.
To finish the class we have started a little scheme about  the Middle Ages- Middle Era. We have to complete the parts about Rationalism and Empiricism.
We have also decided on the date of the exam that is the next week, Thursday 6 of November.

-------------
We have included to our glossary new words like:
-To live off rents: vivir de las rentas.
-Dishonest: deshonesto.
-Suntanned: bronceado.
-Shameful: vergonzoso.
-Smort/ clever: inteligente.
-Rogue: pícaro.
-Beggar: mendigo.
-Lazzy: vago.
-Golden Age: Siglo de Oro.
I have attached this photo about Phillip IV:

Hello,

Here is my second attempt to correct your journal. There has been a blackout in muy house and I have lost all i had written :(

- Remember that Social Sciences is in capital letters

- economic recession

- climatic conditions

- Less demand for products, as a result of the demographic crisis.

- the nobless were the social model

- Paquihas asked us if we have an idol, and we have spoken about Julian JRA and his song.
After this, Paqui has asked us about Spanish scientists and about Spanish writers. We have also spoken about famous people who are famous without doing anything, like Belén Esteban.

You should explain why I asked you about these people. It was related about what we learnt about the 17th century society.

-...a little scheme about the secularization process

- We have also decided onthe date of the exam ,which will be the next week,

- lazy is only with one z

- I have attached this photo about Phillip IV

As for the picture, you could include one about the content of the lesson: for example rogues or some of the writers of the Golden Age of literature. Philip IV has appeared in several journals lately.

That's all. Bye!
