GENDER EQUALITY WEEK AT IES SELGAS

This week has been special at our school. There have been lots of activities to raise awareness on gender equality among all of you. The English Department wanted to make its contribution, so different activities were carried out in all levels.

Students in 1st ESO watched the film animated film BRAVE, which tells the story of a girl who has to fight many dangers because she doesn't want to accept what is expected from her as a princess. 

Students in 2nd and 3rd ESO watched the film  Bend it like Beckham. This film deals with the subjects of football, race, gender and tradition and tells the story of two young girls who want to be professional football players, but have to face some setbacks, especially Jess, who belongs to a very traditional Indian family.

The students liked the film and understood clearly the difficulties that being a woman , especially an Indian one, conveys in the "masculine" world of football.

To clarify students' ideas we used some activities which they had to do while watching the film.

Students in 4th ESO worked with the song TWO FACES. In this song, which forms part of the álbum Tunnel of Love (1987), Bruce Springsteen, also known as The Boss, tells about the contrasting feelings a person can have. In his case, it was depression what made him feel that way. However, this song could also describe the two faces of a person who commits gender violence. 

Students have shown their ideas on this painful issue on blank faces and then we hung them in the multipurpose room. They came up with some very interesting ideas!!

Students in 1st Bachiller watched a video and read an article about how men and women may be judged differently in the workplace, with women often getting the most negative labels. A question arose immediately: Are we more judgemental with women than with men? Is that true?

The video, which became viral, is an advert for a beauty product and that led us to another question: Is the message appropriate for the product?... Watch the video and judge for yourself!

Students in 2nd BACH watched and worked with a short film in which Daniel Craig and Judy Dench, well known for being James Bond and his boss, point out all the many inequalities that women still suffer. 

Her final question is: "ARE WE EQUALS?" and that is the question students answered and then pinned to the noticeboard in the classroom.

As you can see a week full of reflection on gender equality.  Any step taken will help in the long way ahead towards a world in which there will be no more need to talk about all this. 

It's you and the next generations who have to make it possible.

THIRD TERM SPEAKING 2º ESO: A PRESENTATION OF A CITY

This third term speaking task will be to prepare a presentation about a CITY. You are going to use the app VOICETHREAD; with it you can upload images and videos and record your own voice to describe each slide.

Here you have a TUTORIAL on how to use  the app, but, if you have any doubts, ask you teacher.

And this is the RUBRIC I will use to correct your presentations, so bear it in mind when you prepare your script.

The deadline for sending your presentations is Friday, 17th May.

* If you can't use VOICETHREAD for any reason, let your teacher know. 

THIRD TERM SPEAKING - 3RD ESO

For this third term speaking you will have to prepare a presentation about a JOB and I would like you to try an app, which is new for you , but very useful to make oral presentations: VOICETHREAD. With it you can upload images and videos and record your own voice to describe each slide.

Here you have a TUTORIAL on how to use  the app, but, if you have any doubts, ask you teacher.

Finally, this is the RUBRIC  I will use to correct your presentations, so bear it in mind when you prepare your script.

The deadline for sending your presentations is Friday, 17th May.

Let's  see how creative you can be!!

* If you can't use VOICETHREAD for any reason, let your teacher know. 

2ND YEAR BILINGUAL: ALL ABOUT THE USA

Click on the image to access the PADLET app and write a summary of what you read about the USA.

3RD YEAR BILINGUAL: MY SHORT STORY

In the third term you are going to read some short stories by Edgar Allan Poe and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.Then, you will have to write a brief review.

Click on the picture for more information.

A BOOK/SERIES REVIEW (2nd Bach.: third term speaking task))

This term you will have to prepare a presentation, using the app VOICETHREAD (or any other you know that allows you to record yourself at the same time that we can see some images related to the topic) . Here you have a TUTORIAL on how to use the app (although most of you are already familiar with it) and the RUBRIC I will use to assess your work. Once you finish it, you just need to send me the link. 

And what will the presentation be about? You know that one of the best ways to improve your English is to read. So that  the first option: READ A BOOK IN ENGLISH. It should preferably be an original version; if too difficult, remember that the minimum level should be an adapted version for 2nd bach or a B2 level. Remember that the school library has many books. 

For those who are not so keen on reading, there is a second option: your presentation can be about a TV SERIES OR FILM SAGA (provided that you watch it in English 😉!). Again, watching tv series is an excellent way to improve your skills. 

You can send it whenever you want from now onwards. The deadline is 26th April. 

Students who don't send a presentation before that date will have to do the presentation in class, using a Power Point or any other type of presentation (Prezzi, Powtoon, Genially...) to support it. In this case I will use the RUBRIC the school has created to evaluate oral presentations. 

Good luck!!
