YOUR JOURNAL
"Many of us today realize the healthy benefits of tuning into ourselves, paying attention to our needs and listening to our intuition. As we listen to ourselves we begin to hear our inner"magic" emerge."
Journal Writing is an innocent and gentle process that has been around for centuries. It is a Powerful tool for personal growth and personal healing. It helps people discover and utilize their greatest gifts & hidden resources; it provides a way to mirror the processes by which they become dynamic and develop themselves -- what concerns students here is mainly "Communicating in English", Encouraging Creativity, & Practising Writing and all of the concomitant thinking skills that underlie writing.
Unfortunately, writing a journal is not as easy a task as it might seem. Our culture is so externally oriented that it is really difficult to stop, shift gears and listen to our inner selves. We have good intentions but find it difficult to turn off the TV or radio, let go of the telephone and sit in the quiet "chamber" of ourselves. The trip inward can be extraordinarily rewarding-once we have begun, since, let's face it, it is the beginning that is so difficult.
So often, when we sit down to do journal writing, we are caught up in our left brain responsibilities and may have a hard time switching gears. What we need to do is breathe deeply and begin to release whatever we have been attached to--to begin to listen to that still small voice within. Some people can do this with relative ease, but others find it difficult ... they often don't know what to write about.
What should you do if you don't know what to write about?
1- You can write about the themes you are studying at school => Your Analysis of facts, situations, what you would do if you were in ... shoes,what should be done to avoid ....... / to improve ...... / to make up for ......
2- You can glue on the inside front cover a list of possible topics you havecollected ourselves (quotes, proverbs ...), so if you run out of ideas you have a list to consult.
3- You can collect some texts that inspire you a lot, and when in need, you use them.
4- You can also use the additional handouts given by your teacher.
5- You can comment on the songs studied and movies seen.
6- You can comment on whatever is going on around you: at school, at home, with a friend, in Lebanon, in the world ....
7- You can write about & interpret (or at least try to) your dreams.
8- You can collect poems, ads, photos, or newspaper clippings (interestingones), paste them in your journal and give your opinion about them.
9- You can write a list of advice you would give to your friend, teacher, parents, supervisor, principal ......
10-You can write about many different areas including personal relationships, career and special interests, body and health, and meaning in life.
Note: It is much better to match the topic of the entry with the theme being studied.
Setting up your Journal:
Note: It is much better to match the topic of the entry with the theme being studied.
Setting up your Journal:
- Decide what you'd like your journal to look like. Give your journal a title. The title will be the first really creative thing you'll do with your journal, so make your title witty, unusual, thought provoking. - Decorate the cover of your journal. You could sketch on the cover, paste on an advertisement or a photo, or write your favorite quotes on it.
Don't forget to:
- Bring your journal with you to class every week. Your teacher might read one of your entries to the whole class (after having had your permission of course). - Write the date & time whenever you make an entry. Make a List of the entries at the end of the month (on a separate sheet on your journal), for the teacher to see and put a grade.
- Be Creative!!
" If we are committed to growth, we should discover and utilize our inner gifts, then we should move beyond our internal critics, move past the darkness inherent in our life and move into our power, meaning, and joy. We should implement this process of opening to ourselves. As we grow in our openness to love and to being loved, we heal...and as we heal, everyone is benefited."

Common file format
File format
Images can be saved in a variety of file formats. Different file formats exist because some are better at certain tasks than others. Some file formats are associated with specific software programs. For example, Adobe Photoshop's file format is .PSD.
However, graphics packages also allow the user to save their work in compatible file formats that can be used in a variety of software programs - eg .JPG, .GIF, .TIFF. Most digital cameras automatically save photographs as .JPG and these can be used in a variety of graphics packages.
____________________________________________________________________
Answer the following questions. You can get the information you need through this link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/dida/graphics/selectingrev7.shtml
1.- What are the main characteristics of the three formats: JPG, GIF, BMP?
2.- What are they used for?
3.- Compare the three formats.
4.- Which has a bigger size?

Should the morning-after pill be banned?
CONS
Emergency contraceptive pills can have serious, harmful side-effects including nausea, vomiting, infertility, breast tenderness, ectopic pregnancy and blood clot formation. Nobody knows the long-term effects.
Emergency contraception is a form of abortion. It works by preventing a fertilised egg and a fertilised egg is a human being, because it contains within itself all that is necessary for a child to develop. Therefore it could be considered as murder.

Should the morning-after pill be banned?
PROS
Whether intentionally or not, people do sometimes have unprotected sex without wanting to get pregnant. When this happens, emergency contraception allows women to ensure that they are not pregnant, without the stress and increased health risk caused by waiting until a pregnancy can be confirmed and then, if desired, having an abortion.
There are good reasons for making the morning-after pill a non-prescription drug. It can take time to get a prescription from a doctor, and in speed is very important in an emergency. Some patients may be embarrassed to tell their doctor about what they need, and so will not go to get a prescription.

CONTEXT
Emergency contraception, often called the ‘morning-after pill’, reduces the chance of pregnancy following unprotected sexual intercourse. if taken within 72 hours they reduce the risk of pregnancy by between 75 and 89 percent. Emergency contraceptives such as Levonelle are legal in the US and UK; in the UK they can be bought over the counter from pharmacists by over-16s.

A debate on sport
Pros
1.- Sport is a great way to stay fit and healthy. This is very important today as few people have jobs with physical labour and most of us travel everywhere by car. As a result many people are overweight and suffer poor health.
2. -Sport has lots of social benefits. Sports programmes can give people a positive purpose and something to do. Societies which practise sport have lower levels of crime.

A debate on sport
Cons
1.- On the other hand, sport can actually be dangerous. Millions of people are hurt playing sport each year, some of them very seriously.
2.-Sport does teach children lessons, but not always good ones. Many children are not naturally talented and only come across failure and embarrassment on the sports field.

Here you´ll find some ideas for your presentations about plastics... . You can also take advantage of the vocabulary yoy learn!
Plastics materials
Everywhere you look you will find plastics.
We use plastic products to help make our lives cleaner, easier, safer and more enjoyable. You will find plastics in the clothes we wear, the houses we live in, and the cars we travel in. The toys we play with, the televisions we watch, the computers we use and the CDs we listen to contain plastics. Even the toothbrush you use every day contains plastics! For more examples on where you will find plastics, click here.
History of plastics
The history of plastics goes back more than 100 years. Compared to other materials however, plastics are a relatively modern.
View here a presentation of how plastics have developed over the last century.

If a mathematic were a ...
- If a mathematic were a animal,they would be a monkey , becaause both are so alike.These are alike ,because both had evolved with the pass of the year.
- If a mathematic were a sound , they would be a sound that do the bird,because is natural .I´m thinking that the mathematic are natural.
- If a mathematic were a colour, they would be a blue,because it is a colour that never ends like the sky.

If mathematics were a...
If mathematics were a sound they would be the piano's sound.Because when you are playing the piano you need to be exactly in what you do.Another reason,because when you're working out any math's problem you need to be so concentrated the us when you are playing the piano.
If mathematics a colour they would be blue.Because all of my math's books,in the past and in the present, are bleu.Another reason is because in my math's notebook,I write every calculates with the blue pen.
If mathematics were an animal they would be a cat.Because you be too sure that you know to do any calculation but sometimes it catches you unawares, the same us a cat.

If matehematics were...
If mathematics were an animal... they would be ... a LIZARD becouse my first book had a lizard in the title page.
If mathematics were a sound... they would be ... a classical music becouse I'm relaxed as maths and too concentrated as mathematics.
If mathematic were a colour... they would be ... a a blue colour becouse all muy books were blue.

If mathematics were a sound, they would be classic music.Because this tupe of music is relaxing and If i study mathematics in this form, I will pass all terms in this year. And to make a composition or classic musics is dificult and the mathematics too.
If mathematics were and animal, the would be a dog. This is my pinion , because this animal is the best friend of the men and they are afectionate and the mathematicas would be easy.And to adriester a dog I needed pacience and the mathematics too. But a little effort all goes well
If mathematics were a colour, they would be red.Because this is the colour that represents the fires, it is like red fire and it turn of quickly sometimes and slow, others.And tith hep it can be completly and the mathematics too.

Math
If math were a animal, they would be a duck because the duck have two paws and two wings, although the duck can't fly. Its hearing can be a sphere, the beak can be a triangle and the body can be a cylinder.
If math were a sound, they would be a classic music because in this type of music there is some sound and with this different sound you feel love, anguish, fear...This type of sensations is that I feel when I am doing an exercise.
If math were a colour, they would be red because when start the class I feel anguish but when I do a exercise and when I know how to do it, I love math!

Maths..!
A Sound
If maths were a sound, they would be a clasisic music because the maths is relaxing how the classic music !
A Animal
If maths were a animal, they would be a parrot because the parrot is relaxing and repeat the same equal that maths !
A Colour
If maths were a colour, they would be a green because the colour green is hope equal to the maths !

A Colour
If maths were a colour, they would be a green because the colour green is hope equal to the maths !
If Mathematics were...
A sound...
I think it would be Classical Music. Because it is relaxing and make me think about it.
But the best instrument would be the clarinet. Because the Maths and the music is in harmony, in peace.
As mathematics is an exact science, since it is always a balance, the other is complete, classical music, especially, is balanced. Moreover, the music was invented by Maths. Therefore, the classical music; and between the instruments, the clarinet, for its clear sound.
An animal...
They would be an elephant, because they are the biggest mammal in our planet and they are old, intelligent and never forget. And Maths is like that, big, old and clever.
Or an eagle, because they are very elegant and have a beautiful, fast flight.
A colour...
I think they would be all colours, but above all, white and green. White, because it representspeace and harmony, like Classical Music, and it is pure.
And green, because of the environment, because nature is wise. Many things are green, like plants, and all have their pros and their cons, their equilibrium.
But Maths has many faces, and they can be very different. They are like an adventure, you can´t improvise what is going to happen.

What does been in the proyect mean to me?
To be in the proyect is something importat, because not all of the students have this opportunity, but sometimes I forget where I am. This will be very useful in our future. Because of that we must get used to speak a little more, without coyness.
In this three years I learned more than I thought I will. And I happy to be here. The most important thing in English is to speak, because that is what you are going to do one day you need; to communicate with people.
For those things I think it is worth to be here.

For those things I think it is worth to be here.
My presentation
This is my presentation:
Hello! I´m Sonia. I am 14 years old, but my birthday is soon and I will have 15 years old. I live with my parents and my brother in Mariucha. I´m studying at Schamann High School. I want to go to the university and study Sciences.
When I was 8 years old, I went to Germany with my mother, but I don´t remember many things, but I remember that there was raining almost every day, in the afternoons, and at nights, there were many rays in the sky.
My brother and I want to learn Germany, but for me is too difficul. I haven´t spoken with my family yet. One of my hobbies is write stories and I love swim with a buggie and catch waves.
I don´t like so much do my homework or cleaning my room. And I am afraid of cockroaches.
Ine of my favourite programs is Bones. I must get used to study Sciences or at least ride my brother´s bike to do some exercise.
I would like be an antropologist, because I want to discover something important.
An anecdote was when my family and I went to Artenara to take photos... and then we entered in a restaurant to have lunch. And there was a little child that came behind me with a great smile, he gave myself a small pull in the hair and then he ran away very happy. It was graceful!
Finally, my wish is this:
I´m going to travel as many countries as I can during my life.
Nowadays I am so happy, moreover soon is Holy week!!
Thanks for all and goodbye!

Hello Everybody!!!
Hey everyone, it's Kathryn. Lucy has been kind enough to let me use her account to write to you all, hopefully soon I will have an account of my own so I can write more often. Next week I will be going back to England to visit my family, and the newest member of my family - my nephew, who is just a few days old. My sister will need lots of help, so I will probably spend all of my time helping her clean, cook, and of course - play with the baby!!!

Dear students,
I´m glad some of you have decided ( made up your minds) to write your presentations in the blog. I don´t mean to give you lectures all the time but, as you can see, today´s lecture has worked!. It´s very important that you devote some time to writing because this is the only way to improve your writing skill. I suggest that you read your presentations carefully and look for mistakes so that you can improve them next term. You must avoid translating from Spanish literally and stick to the English rules. Remember that English has its own structures and you must stick to them so as not to speak " Spanglish". Pay attention to word order, subject- verb agreement, verb tenses... . It is also important that you revise vocabulary and expressions and use varied language in your speeches. So far you´ve learnt a lot of vocabulary but you don´t put it into practice. How about having a look at your notebooks during the Easter holidays and brushing up on your English?. You´ll be surprised to see how much you have forgotten. Refresh your memories and bring English back. I realize that some of you will have to do an extra effort to catch up and bring your English up to date but it´s worth trying.
Many of you haven´t done your best this term but it´s no use crying over spilt milk, so do your best next term and prove that you really want to learn English.
That´s all for now. It´s late and
Good night,
Hello!!! I´m Kira
Vantages and advantages in the project:
I think that the project have many advantages: in this year I learn more Englis that in the others years, and I want to speak and understand better. For this reasson I do a promess for the next term, that I am going to studing more.

I don´t find any vantages yet, only a litle thing that I´m not very happy, but is it not so important.

And i remember last time that i went to León in the mainland, beacause i have family there, and i remeber the day that i went with my family to Las Médulas.

2.Sun, water, wind and sea. Because don't miss when they produce energy and they renewad constant
.
3.The most importan is that the renewable energy will never become exhausted.
4.In high school, the majority of energy that we consume provide of Solar panels, placed on it.(solar energy).

1. Two examples are the coal and the oil. They are not renewable because they become exhausted as they are emaciated.
2. Two examples are water power and solar power. They call renewable because it takes place of constant form in the earth.
3. The advantage that has the renewable energy is that it is not possible to spend the not renewable one becomes exhausted with the use
4. In Great Canary the wind power is very taken advantage of. Energy of the wind is obtained to travez of a few mills. Also I use the hydraulics and the solar but they are seen less.

My Answers ^^
1-Give some examples of non-renewable energy. Describe why they are considered non-renewable.
- Oil, because is a mineral that not only is very difficult created after millions of years.
- Coal, because it is a mineral that can not be created,I think so.

Hello, my name is saray. I m 14 years old and i am living in las palmas.
I am going to show you some importants pictures about my family and friends and me. * when I was 5 years old with my parents and my brother in fuerteventura.But my brother took the photo for this reason he isn’t in the picture.
*This picture was in the same place, but in the beach with my father! I miss that times because the only thing that I must to do was to take a good time . I always wanted to play with my dad because he was and is a very funny person! I love my dad!!
* Always my family and me went to Fuerteventura with my aunt and my cousins. in this picture I was eating a banana with my cousin Raquel.
Now I want to talk about my future, I will get married and I will have 2 children ! but before that I will study psychology in Tenerife, because here, in gran canaria, you can’t study this and I don’t like the main land to go to study.
The conclusion is… I AM A VERY HAPPY PERSON.

AnSwErS!!!
1.-Are coal,oil,natural gas or radiactive elements,because once they are removed from the ground and used.
2.-Solar energy wind energy,Biomass energy...
Because the other hand quickly replaces itself and is usually avaible in a never-
ending supply.
3.-Some advantages are with the help of special collectors,we can capture some of this energy and put it to use in our homes and business.
4.-With natural gas,crude oil and coal deposits took millions of years to form.

Teacher..Im Laura
I havent blog for that reason a did the homeworks with saray`s blog:
1- Coal, oil, natural gas, or radioactive elements. They are considered non-renewable because once they are removed from the ground and used, they are not immediately replaced.
2- Renewable energy comes from the natural flow of sunlight, wind, or water around the Earth. Renewable energy on the other hand quickly replaces itself and is usually available in a never-ending supply.
I don't know how to do the questions number 3 and 4
My Exercises!
1-Give some examples of non-renewable energy. Describe why they are considered non-renewable.
Coal, Oil, Natural Gas or radioactive elemts.They are considerade non- renewable beacause once used can't be replaced and last millions of years to form
2.- Give several examples of renewable energy. Why are they considered "renewable"?
Comes from the natural flow of sunlight or water With the help of special collectors,
They are considerade renewable because this energy provide to the earth or wind.
3. -What are some of the advantages of renewable energy over non-renewable energy?
Renewable energy comes from the sun and is an inexhaustible source of energy
and Non -renewable energy comes from renewable sources of energy on earth, but last thousands of years to form
4 .-Can you describe any examples of how renewable energy is being used in your region?
In my region tah is Las palmas we use wind energy in the sruth because tere are more wind tah in the city.. BUT our normal electricy in in the power station

Hello everybody!
As you Know, we are working about power stations and renewable and non renewable sources of energy... We´ll keep on working on this subject in our lessons together, but I´d like you to read this text and answer the questions below:
Non-renewable versus renewable energy
Non-renewable Energy: Much of our energy supply comes from coal, oil, natural gas, or radioactive elements. They are considered non-renewable because once they are removed from the ground and used, they are not immediately replaced. In fact, the world's natural gas, crude oil and coal deposits took millions of years to form. Uranium, which is used for nuclear energy, has limited supply as well. Humans will have used up most of these deposits in less than 200 years. Once they are gone, non-renewable energy supplies cannot be replaced within human time scales.
The sun is a never-ending supply of free energy.
Renewable Energy: Renewable energy on the other hand quickly replaces itself and is usually available in a never-ending supply. Renewable energy comes from the natural flow of sunlight, wind, or water around the Earth. With the help of special collectors, we can capture some of this energy and put it to use in our homes and businesses. As long as sunlight, water and wind continue to flow and trees and other plants continue to grow, we have access to a ready of supply of energy.
