Funny Tales

The students of 3^rd ESO have been preparing a project in English and Computer classes. They have designed a tale in a computer programme with some dialogues in English. The aim of these dialogues is to reinforce the grammar of the unit and also to be familiar with some new vocabulary related to the emotions. The results are amazing!!!! Just click on the pictures if you want to see two examples. Enjoy!

The Six Eras of Lady Gaga

·         LADY GAGA the Fame (August 19, 2008):

The first era in Lady Gaga’s career begins when her first album, The Fame, is released. In her songs, performances and fashion style, she focuses on themes of fame, money, sex and sexual identity. Her sound and look during this time are influenced by 80s pop music and glam rockers Queen and David Bowie.

·         LADY GAGA THE FAME MONS┼ER (November 18, 2009):

The Fame Monster marks the second era in Gaga history in which she explores the dark clothing, lace and elaborate masks. Lady Gaga wore her famous meat dress to the MTV Video Music Awards, displaying her rejection of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. She did her first worldwide tour called The Monster Ball Tour.

·         LADY GAGA BORN THIS WAY (May 23, 2011):

 Lady Gaga releases her second studio album, Born This Way, and begins her third era. The controversial album covers political, sexual, and religious topics, but has one overall message: love and respect yourself and others. She started her second world tour called The Born This Way Ball with that era.

·         LADY GAGA ARTPOP (November 11, 2013):

Although the album has already yet to be released, Lady Gaga’s performance at the 2013 VMAs gave her little monsters a peek at her new album’s concept. In this era Gaga talks about different aspects as they are mythology, astronomy, feminism and sexuality. With that era we saw a colourful and more artistic Gaga. She had her third tour called ARTRAVE: the ARTPOP tour. 

·         LADY GAGA CHEEK TO CHEEK (September 19, 2014):

Lady Gaga drew the line with Cheek to Cheek. That CD makes the difference because is a jazz album. The album is released with the famous jazz singer Tony Bennett. That era is so different to the others. She started a tour with Tony Bennett named Cheek to Cheek Tour. This era was so important to the artist because she released her voice power.

·         LADY GAGA JOANNE (October 21, 2016):

After some years without new Lady Gaga music we have Joanne. This album has been released the 21st of two months ago. The title of this CD is in honour of her aunt Joanne, died when she was 19. That era has started now but we can see a more adult way to be of Gaga. The Lady Gaga of nowadays doesn’t wear unusual dresses and strange wigs. She is totally different of her beginning.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the film

This November 18 2016, it came out the famous movie ‘Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them’, directed by David Yates and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It’s a prequel of the Harry Potter film series. The film was produced and written by J. K. Rowling.

In this film, they show us the differences between the magicians of England and the United States. As well, it shows us their relationship with the 'No-Maj' or 'Muggles' (no-magical people). We can also see the differences between the lifestyles of magicians in both countries (there is a lot of differences).

PLOT:

Located in 1926. Newt Scamander is a magician that has an old suitcase full of magical creatures he has been collecting in his travels around the world. His objective is to arrive to New York but in this new adventure, Newt will discover that the American magic community is hiding from muggles (called non-maj in America). For this reason, the exposition of magic in public has worse consequences than in the UK. He meets with a Muggle named Jacob, who first causes problems but later helps a lot. After there, some Newt’s fantastic creatures ecaped from his suitcase and caused problems in the magical world and in the Muggle’s world. Newt, looks desperately for all the creatures with Jacob’s help.

What will happen at the end? Will anyone stop it? Will they get it?

I invite you to watch the film and enjoy it as much as I do, being or not fan of Harry Potter film series. I give it the highest score and I recommend it 100%.

CHARACTERS:

Newt Scamander is a lonely man, shy and a bit strange, but with an unconditional love for the magical creatures.

Jacob Kowalski is the 'No-Maj' or 'muggle' who helps a lot to the principal character and is funny

Porpentina Goldstein (she's a witch) is a strong girl who does things for herself.

Percival Graves is the villain of the film and is very manipulating.

Dragon Ball Z

Hi bloggers!

Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese anime television series. It focuses on Son Goku, Bulma, and the search of the legendary Dragon Balls, seven balls that must be reunited to bring up the Shenron dragon that can make any wish come true. After the wish had come true, the balls are distributed worldwide again and are turned into stone for a year. They have to collect them all. However, a great inventor, Bulma, creates a "Dragon Ball radar" to detect the balls and make the process much easier.

Young people find other people who will join them with as the story goes by. Son Goku will search the Dragon Balls and will challenge all kinds of people to become the strongest man in the universe.

I love this television cartoons because I saw them when I was little with my brother and when I see again some chapter I remember those times.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians

Hi bloggers!!

Today I talk about Percy Jackson & the Olympians. It’s a series of adventure and fantasy books written by Rick Riordan. The play is set in the United States at the present time.

The protagonist is Percy Jackson, a son of Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes. One day he discovers that all the myths of ancient Greece are real, and the gods too, who live on Olympus, which is hidden in the 600th floor of the Empire State Building. Percy Jackson is dyslexic and has hyperactivity. In that moment, all the monsters start to persecute him because he is the son of some of the most important gods. They are Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. He hides in the Camp Half-Blood (a camp only for demigods and where they teach them to fight). There he meets Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Grover, a satyr. They will become best friends and they will live endless adventures with the goal of saving the world of Cronos, the king of the Titans, who wants to destroy the world.

The first two books, have become movie, but they weren’t very successful.

 If you like the Greek mythology and fantasy, this is your saga, I promise.
