Today in Social Sciences....
At the beginning of the class in the corridor Paco the teacher of physics and chemistry has catched a little dog, because the dog were in the corridors around the high school. He went out with the dog.
Afterwards, Laura Muñoz has asked a question about the questions and answers that we have to do for tomorrow about the oral exam. And Cristina has said that tomorrow we have to give the questions and answers to her and we will do a listening in her class.
Then, we have started the class. Cristina has put the power point presentation and we have started checking the exercise 15 about the main ideas of anarchism that are:
-People are born free, but institutions (school, Church,..) snatch their freedom and limit their possibility of developing their capabilities.
-The only way of recovering freedom is destroying everything that limits people's capabilities and let people decide how to organize their lives: cooperating with other people or staying apart.
-Collective property.
-Trust in the revolutionary capability of both peasants and industrial workers.
Anarchism means "without government".

In the middle of the class, some people were throwing balls of paper to Ángel Aranda and they were not listening to Cristina.
Anarcho-Syndicalism, created unions in order to be organized and educated for revolution.
Then, we have checked the exercise 16 about the International Workingmen's Association (IWA):
In 1889, Marx proposed the creation of an International Workingmen's Association in London. Marxists, anarchists and trade unionists of Europe and North America formed the First International. Their slogan was "Workers of the world, unite!".

The First International dissolved in 1876 due to the disagreements between Marxists and Anarchists.
In 1889, the Second International was created. The workers' anthem was created and was established the International Worker's Day. The problems between those who wanted to make revolution and those who wanted to participate in the elections. It was dissolved during the First World War (WWI).
Afterwards, we have seen the differences between Marxisms and anarchism. Cristina has said that anyone are interesting in see the make-up exam, because they didn't ask for it. Then, Cristina has given the crossword and we have done in the class. She has put on the blackboard the days that can be the exam of this unit and we have voted and it will be the 13th of February, on monday.
Later, Cristina has answered the question of Sara about that she will have to study point 4 of the last unit and Cristina has said that if she didn't fail the project she won't have to do it.
The bell has rung and Cristina has said that she will send the answers of the crossword in an email, but Paqui has put on the blog this morning.
I hope you were better Paqui. See you :)

19th of October, 2011

Today in Social Sciences, we have checked the crossword about the 17th Century: "Absolute Monarchy and Baroque". Paqui has read the definition and then, we have answered it. Alejandro has said that in the "eleven across" there was a mistake, but there wasn't because is in plural "intendants". Paqui has said that Carmen has to change the pyramid image of her journal. Paqui was a little angry with us, because all the class was speaking. During we were checking the crossword, Paqui has pronounced some words in French.

Ana Lucas and Silvia were talking almost all the class. Silvia has said that she like the cover of the new book because, is harder than the other book.

Afterwards, we have checked the exercise 3 on the page 11 and the answer is: "The population increase in the 18th century because, there were less wars, less big epidemics, new crops were introduced (corn and potato). And the population increase led to a bigger demand for all type of products."

Then, we have started the 3rd point (ENLIGHTENMENT) and Paqui has said that is her favourite point of this unit. Paqui has switched the computer on and she has shown a Power Point presentation about the crisis of the Ancien Regime and the bourbon in Spain. Then, she has explained a very interesting pyramid for Carmen.

Rebeca has read on page 5 and Paqui has written on the blackboard a scheme about the "process of secularization": The process started in the 15th century with HUMANISM, in the 16th century with REFORMATION, in the 17th century with SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION and in the 18th century with ENLIGHTENMENT.

Paqui has drawn a picture and Yolanda Rubio has said that is like a woman's bum. Afterwards, Juan Carlos has read some thinkers and scientist that can be precedents of Enlightenment:

- John Locke, was an English philosopher, he criticized absolutism and defended the division of powers.

-Isaac Newton, was an English scientist and he created the scientific method based on observing and checking facts.

Beatriz Yuste has read the main features of Enlightenment that were:

-Absolute faith in Reason.

-Rejection of everything that couldn't be explained through Reason.

-Optimism and trust in progress.

-Knowledge as the basis of happiness.

-Trust in education cosidered to be the best way to improve.

-Religious tolerance.

-Criticism of absolutism and the estates society.

-Elitist movement, resened to educated people.

They think that education can change the work. Paqui has said that the children have to go to school not work.

One of the most important philosopher is: IMMANUEL KANT: "Dare to know", is a challenge. It is important because you do things by yourself.

Paqui will decorate the class with interesting historical things. Then, she has explained the difference between doing things that by obligation that is more difficult for us and doing things because we want to know things and it is easier.

Afterwards, Paqui has given to us some exercises for tomorrow on the page 11 the exercises 4, 5 and 6.

Some new words that we have learned are: process of secularization (proceso de secularización), enlightened (ilustrado), guarantor (garante), trust (confianza), to trust (confiar) and "Dare to know" (Atrévete a saber).

The bell has rung and Paqui has said that this afternoon she will come to decorate the class with the people of 3rd of ESO.

SEE YOU TOMORROW :)

I'LL NEVER FORGET YOU

I’LL NEVER FORGET YOU =)


These three years I learned a lot of things with Paqui and Kelly. These last lessons were fantastic and I have enjoyed them because it's the last year we are going to be in the same class. =(

My experience with Paqui was very exciting because I learned a lot of with her and I think is the best teacher that I have had in these three years. All her classes were very interesting and you learn a lot of things about life.

The things I like were the project about one organization on Glogster. In this project I learned things about my organization and things about other classmates' organizations. And the activity that we are doing with Kelly, the video of “Tanto Monta, Monta Tanto".” I think the next year we can do more songs, because with these songs is easy to learn the important things of the unit.

The things I didn’t like were the day that Paqui was angry with all the class and the day that all the class were late and she sent us to the library. I like all the units but the best unit for me was the unit about the paintings.

I think next year we can continue with the blog of Social Science and we can continue to be all the class in the same class. =)

3ºA is the best class I've ever had, because in this class we participate all in this things and we helped each other. I’LL NEVER FORGET YOU =(

In this class we do a lot of parties in Manuel’s house and in the classroom too. I like this class for the next year because I love all my classmates.=)

Please have a good summer and the people who have failed, please, study. I think we could have another dinner with KELLY AND PAQUI. JEJEJEJEJEJEJ

THANK YOU PAQUI AND KELLY FOR YOUR HELP.

Today, Kelly has been with us. Then, we have checked the four exercises about the capitulations of Santa Fe and Paqui has said that was a little dificult but not so much. Afterwards, Paqui has written the answers on the blackboard and we have done the exercise fifteen of the review on the class. Then, Kelly has switched the computer and we have decided the day of the exam that it will be the 25th of May about the 15th century in the Iberian Peninsula: the Catholic Monarchs. Afterwards, Paqui has written a scheme about the new unit. And we will study:

1.Introduction

Then, Paqui has said that we aren't going to do an exam about the unit, because we don't have time. Finally, Paqui has given an exercise of the review on the page 91. This class was very interesting and we have learned a lot of things. And we have started the first point and the second point about the HUMANISM:
