El llibre que no van llegir els alumnes de 3r d’ ESO…
Entre ahir dilluns i avui dimarts, els dos grups de 3r d’ ESO (A i C) han tingut l’ examen de lectura del llibre ‘A Pair of Ghostly Hands’.
Aquest llibre, d’ un nivell adequat per alumnes de 3r d’ ESO, es va demanar ja a principis d’ avaluació, però a causa del ritme de les classes i del calendari de sortides es va haver d’ endarrerir-ne l’ examen fins després del primer trimestre.
Després d’ haver corregit els controls de lectura, els resultats demostren que ningú va llegir-se’l en la seva totalitat i que, una gran majoria ni tan sols van passar de la primera pàgina.
Molts alumnes però s’ han queixat del nivell del llibre i que és necessari tenir un diccionari al costat per a buscar les paraules que no es coneixen: pràcticament totes. Malgrat aquestes afirmacions, un anàl·lisi de qualsevol pàgina a l’ atzar del llibre demostra que aproximadament dos terços dels verbs que hi apareixen són verbs irregulars, verbs que van haver d’ estudiar a 2n d’ ESO i dels quals s’ han examinat fins a tres vegades durant el primer trimestre de 3r. A més a més, els verbs que no pertanyen a aquest grup són verbs bàsics com ara: look, walk, talk…

Good news for IES Cubelles
The ‘Secretari per la innovació europea’, Ramon Capilers, has announced that IES Cubelles is going to take part in an exchange programme with Finland. According to Mr. Capilers, there are some teachers in this high school that are very interested in Finland’s school system and would like to imitate them.
The programme will begin shortly after Christmas holidays. There will be four Finish students, one in 1st ESO A, two in 3rd of ESO C and 1 in 2nd Batxillerat B. Mr. Whitefield asked about language problems, but Mr. Capilers said that the students who will be travelling to Catalonia are descendents from the times when the Catalan empire extended well over Scandinavia, and therefore will have no problems with the language.
Text en català: El secretari per la innovació Europea, el senyor Ramon Capilers, ha anunciat que l’ IES Cubelles prendrà part en un programa d’ intercanvi amb Finlàndia. Segons el senyor Capilers, alguns dels professors d’ aquest institut estan molt interessats en el model educatiu finès i voldrien imitar-lo.
El programa començarà poc després de les vacances de Nadal. Hi haurà quatre alumnes finesos, un a 1r d’ ESO A, dos a 3r d’ ESO C i un a 2n de Batxillerat B. El professor Marc Blanco ha preguntat si hi hauria problemes per la llengua, però el sr. Capilers ha dit que els alumnes que viatgin a Catalunya són descendents de l’ època en què l’ imperi català s’ estenia molt més enllà d’ Escandinàvia i, naturalment, no tindran problemes lingüístics.
The Queen and ‘youtube’
The Queen’s address to the citizens of the United Kingdom has traditionally been broadcast through radio and television. However, this year the Queen has become more modern and has started her own ‘youtube‘ channel, which includes videos from the most important moments of this institution.
