LAS BACTERIAS

LAS BACTERIAS: NUESTRAS INQUILINAS

Los alumnos de primero de bachillerato de ciencias han realizado un trabajo sobre los principales tipos de bacterias que se encuentran en el cuerpo humano, tanto en el interior como en el exterior del mismo. Para ello se han realizado diferentes exposiciones en distintos grupos explicando las bacterias que hay en el interior y en el exterior del cuerpo humano e indicando donde se encuentran. Algunos ejemplos de bacterias serían:

-En el interior del cuerpo humano: Escherichia coli la cual se encuentra en el intestino y Helicobacter pylori que se encuentra en el estómago.

-En el exterior del cuerpo: Staphylococcus aureus que afecta a la piel,

 específicamente en la nariz y Cutibacterium acnes la cual se encuentra en la piel, específicamente de la cara.

Aquí se muestran algunas presentaciones:

INVICTUS

Recently in English class, the students of Antigua Sexi watched and developed projects about a very important film about racial conflict: Invictus

First off, we started watching the film a few weeks ago, and, due to its length, we took a couple classes to finish it. Since it was for English, the students watched the film in English and were enthralled throughout.

In second place, we had to pan out projects about the film. After the teacher read out the topics, the class split itself into groups, each one choosing their favorite theme. The students were given several days to get together and complete the project.

Now, after having watched the film and worked on their projects, the students were anxious to present their work and receive their marks. Each presentation lasted from 15 to 30 minutes, during this time, the students explained (in English) their part of the presentation with a very good level of fluency.

It took a few classes to finish presenting all of the projects, but once everyone had presented, they were all happy to have seen such a great film in its original language!

Speaking Test Part 4 PET

The English subject this year has introduced loads of new activities and resources to
students to improve their level, everything from game days to speed dating, the pupils
at Antigua Sexi are having a very entertaining school year!

For example, one of the most recent experiences was taking a speaking test. Similar
to the speaking section for the B1 exam, pairs of students had to hold a conversation
for around three minutes. In class, we were shown a few examples of actual speaking
examinations and were then left to choose our pairs. Within minutes everyone was
partnered with a friend and excited to start putting the English they have been learning in to use.

A bit of background: The unit we were on was related to music, we even watched a short
documentary about an English Music festival. To continue with this theme, the class was
provided with many questions and conversation starters related to music, topics ranging
from liking jazz to one’s favourite instrument. A week or so after all the material was
made available, the conversations started!

During our second recess, a few pairs would meet up with the English teacher in one of
the classrooms ready to start speaking. Each couple of partners was given a number of
topics and questions to touch on during their conversation. After a bit of preparation,
the students, albeit a bit nervous, began their music themed discourse, most of which
lasted past the three minute threshold.

Following this series of tests, each student felt what it is like to have a full conversation
in a foreign language, challenging their memory and fluency and engaging them with
something that everyone loves: Music!

To sum up, the students of Bachillerato got to participate in a very stimulating and
creative English speaking activity with the help of our teachers, giving us valuable
experience and knowledge.
