HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN IN LOVE?

 

Have you ever encouraged someone’s attentions?

Have you ever had someone’s picture on your desk?

Has someone ever made you lose your concentration?

Have you ever sent someone a “love message”?

Have you ever taken someone home safety?

Have you ever been attached by someone’s magnetic personality?

Have you ever prepared someone a delicious meal?

Have you ever seen someone’s face in everywhere?

Have you ever felt loneliness growing up into your heart?

Have you ever cried for someone?

Have you ever lost your interest for someone’s love?

Have you ever broken up with someone?

Has someone ever broken up with you?

Have you ever felt that love hurts?

Have you ever fallen in love for someone else?

Let's read some wise messages of love!

Love is never a relationship. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continues – it is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun.

(Osho)

All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.
(Dalai Lama)

If you judge people, you have no time to love them

(Mother Teresa of Calcutta)

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
(Nelson Mandela)

PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE

Hello studenst,

Let's practice the use of Present Perfect Simple, it is used to talk about an action that happened not long ago   or situations that started in the past and have continued up to the moment of speaking.

"Vamos praticar o uso do Present Perfect Simple, ele é usado para falar sobre uma ação que aconteceu há pouco tempo atrás ou situações que começaram no passado e continuam até o momento da fala. 

O Present Perfect Simple é formado por:

Sujeito  +  have/ has  +  verbo no particípio

WORLD CAR FREE DAY!

WORDS: THE BEST GIRLS TO PLAY WITH II

Os poemas que seguem foram produzidos por alunos do 3º ano "High School" da Escola de Educação Básica Arnaldo Moreira Douat. As atividades foram propostas pela "trainee teacher" Débora Raquel Wank. Depois de assistirmos alguns vídeos, analisarmos algumas imagens e discutirmos o assunto, os alunos responderam em forma de poema aquela pergunta do "Student's Day".


WHAT IS IT BEING A STUDENT TODAY?

The new generation

The new generation

Doesn’t have education

Because

There is no reflexion

Only competition

The children are jackass

Because they watch much TV

They sit down their ass

To the bullshits see

(Rafael R.C., Evander P.M., Erick B.)

In the past the students paid atention

With scary of oppression

They were attacked by the teachers

And did the lesson

But what they really wanted

Was revolution

In the new generation

Books and teachers

Were changed for telecomunication

(Alisson Z., Carine O., Mayara C.)

Don't hold on

The teacher voice is here inside
of my mind
Stop the control and oposition
I need to go out
The born of a new education
Don't hold on
How long?
Just give up the shout
Look at many tears
Tonight many stars
The sky was blue
but it was just so far
It was just so far
Please help my family and friends
Don't hold on
The song can't stop this moment
Don't hold on
Bye bye I'm going to another world
Don't hold on
I didn't care anything
How long?

(Eduardo R., Jessica A., Thuane I.)

Education

In the old days the students were weary
Today the students are happy
In the old days the students couldn't talk
Today the students feel easier
In the old days the students read many books
Today the students read web pages
In the old days the teacher was the only who taught
Today the students teach too
(Jéssica M., Ana Paula D.) 

Education

The education is not the best
But the only one who has the vocation
Of knowing what today is education
It  was before an opression
Today is entertainment
In the past there weren't reflexion
Today neither action

( Amanda C., Maria C.)

Education Revolution

The education is our priority
Because only with it
We reach the prosperity
The education without opression
The equilibrated education
Of having respect from both parts

One life, a revolution
Save the freedom of expression
Stop the feel of fear
Let's transform it in respect
Rise your hands for revolution
Save the freedom of expression

The education did not stay break in time
It evoluted and adopted the democracy
Where the teacher and the students
Give their opinions
But due to that revolution
The respect has been lost
And has ocurred the marginalization of education

(Paulo R., Jonathan S., Wellington)

$ MONEY $

"New car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team"

(Pink Floyd)

Hello Students!

Today's lesson is about money.  Do you like it? Where does the money come from? Trees?

You probably have heard that "Money doesn't grow on trees",  we need to work hard to get enough money to have a confortable life, and in some countries as in Brazil (unfortunately) most people need to work hard and all the time to meet basic needs such as food and shelter. 

Money can buy you many things: book, cars, houses, airplanes, football teams, people (yes), trips (all kinds), ships, etc. 

But money can't buy you LOVE ... No matter, because "The best things in life are for free".

There are different words for money, one of them is cash.

MONEY - Etymology

According to wikipedia, the word "money" is believed to originate from a temple of Hera, located on Capitoline, one of Rome's seven hills. In the ancient world Hera was often associated with money. The temple of Juno Moneta at Rome was the place where the mint of Ancient Rome was located. The name "Juno" may derive from the Etruscan goddess Uni (which means "the one", "unique", "unit", "union", "united") and Moneta either from the Latin word "monere" (remind, warn or instruct) or the Greek word "moneres" (alone, unique).

In the Western world, a prevalent term for coin-money has been specie, stemming from Latin in specie, meaning "in kind".

In Portugues the word "Monetário" comes from the Latin word "monere". That's it!

Now, let's watch a video by Marina Orlova. She explains why the world MINT has 5 different meanings: 1) a plant, 2) breath mint, 3) a place where money is made, 4) the condition of an item, 5) wealth, as in "She is worth a mint".

STUDENT'S DAY

Hello fellows,

Congratulations, today is STUDENT'S DAY. That's a good moment to think about the meaning of being a student and even the meaning of EDUCATION, LEARNING and SCHOOL. Throug out history,  education has had diferent meanings, and here I present you two interesting videos with diferent conceptions of education. However, it seems that school is still far away from what we want. Which kind of education do we want? For what? What is like being a student today?

The first video is from the movie The Wall (Pink Floyd), and the second is a very contemporary movie about "Vision of Students Today". Enjoy them!

GLOBAL WARMING

For 2,5 million years, the earth climate is fluctuated, cycling from ice ages to warm periods, but in the last century the planet’s temperature has risen unusually fast, about 1,2 to 1,4 degrees fahrenheit. Scientists believe it's human activity that is driving the temperature up, in a process known as Global Warming. Ever since the Industrial Revolution began, factories, power plants and eventually cars have burnt false fuels such as oil and coal releasing huge amounts of carbon dioxide and another gases into the atmosphere. These greenhouse gases trap hit near the earth through a naturally occuring process called greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect begins with the sun and the energy radiate to the earth, the earth and the atmosphere absorve some of these energy,while the rest is radiated back into space.

Naturally occuring gases and the atmosphere trap some of these energy and reflect it back warming the earth. Scientists now belive that the green house effect is been intensified by the extra greenhouse gases that human have released.

Evidence for global warming includes a risen strain of a very warm years, scientists reported that 1998 was the warmest year in major history, but 2005 coming as second mean, while reading staking from ice core, show that the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane have hit the highest levels in the past 4.2 thousands years. Arctic sea ice is also shrinking. According to NASA studies, the extent of artic sea ice declined about 10% in the last 30 years. As long as industrialized nations consume energy, and developing countries increase their false fuel consumption, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will continue to rise. Researches predict that the temperature will increase about 2 to10 degrees fahrenheit by the end of the century what is lesser in the earth rising temperature mean for the planet.

Some climate models predict several changes, others forecast rising sea level which could flood various areas around the world, weather patterns could change making hurricanes more frequent, several dries could be more common in warm areas, and species unable to adapt to the changing conditions would face extinction. 

Although much remains to be learned about global warming, many organization advocate greenhouse gases emissions to reduce the impact of global warming.

Consumers can help by saving energy around a house using the compact flourescent light bulbs, and driving fewer miles in the car each week.

These Simple changes may help keep the earth cooler in the future.

Hi,

My name is Ana, and I'm 12 years old.  I do not like family chores, to dry the dishes is a boring chore. Chores make me feel sad, because they are stupid and boring.

I have a dog, its name is Woddy, he is lazy, cute and clumsy. He is my friend, and I have a fish, its name is Amorinha, I feed the pets every day.

My family makes me feel happy, because we are generous and nice, I love my family! I have many friends, they are nice, easygoing and awesome.

I do not like to wake up in the morning, and I wake up at 6:30am, I have breakfast and I live home about 7:00am.

On Wednesdays I have guittar classes, I usually arrive home about 6:30pm. At night I take a shower, watch TV, play computer games, brush my teeth, listen to music.

WORDS: THE BEST GIRLS TO PLAY WITH

Esta aula com poesia foi realizada com a Sétima Série 1 da Escola de Educação Basica Professor Germano Timm em Joinville - Santa Catarina. Começamos com o "Simple Present", nosso tema era "Family and Chores".  Depois do trabalho feito, todos brincamos de fazer poesia. Para descrever a experiência, faço uso deste poema do José Paulo Paes:

Convite


Poesia
é brincar com palavras
como se brinca
com bola, papagaio, pião.


Só que
bola, papagaio, pião
de tanto brincar
se gastam.


As palavras não:
quanto mais se brinca
com elas
mais novas ficam.


Como a água do rio
que é água sempre nova.


Como cada dia
que é sempre um novo dia.


Vamos brincar de poesia?




Ok! Let's see what my pupils are able to do...


Chores

I have to finish the chores
I fly to the store
Milly made dirty floor
I will not clean it
anymore

I want to play
I want go to the store
The way far away
Anymore dry the floor

(Amanda J. K.)


Neve more
I will cut onions
Because
When I cut onions
I cry
Bye cut onions
This is play time
And I go away

(Mayara B. I.)


Chores

Dry the dishes for fun
I try to run away
in the same way
But I have to make it done

I live in a stone
My father is alone
My work is done
And this is my life

I try to buy
But I don't have money
At store
I take a buterfly

(Gabriel L.)


Poem

My feet are on the floor
My head is on the moon
Far away in the sky
The way my soul
Fly high
Without saying "good bye"

(Fábio R. Q.)


I fly to the sky
And I say good bye
Because I don't care
To clean I try

I try to find the way
But I don't stop to play
That's why
I don't  go far away

(Lais A. S.)


I cry
I try
To live a life
I spy the time
To never say
Good bye

(Letícia M. S.)


My Family

My sister crys 
Why Why Why?
My dad is a spy
Why Why Why?
My mom says  bye
Why Why Why?
My brother tries
Why Why Why?

(Luis H.)


Why do you cry
Do not stop to try
Playing everyday
Because to play
Is to run away

(Willian M. S.)


I like the sun
I don't like to cry
I like fun
I don't like good bye

You will be mine
I will leave you to the sky
And I will not cry
If you say good bye

(Renata)


I cry
I try
I play
I run away
This is life
I say "hi"
I say "bye"
I listen to music
I sing
This is my life

(Barbara)


I am lazy but
I am happy
I play but
In a diferent way
Why?
Think twice

(Ewilin)


Stay out of my way
Or I decide to run away
You are going to be mine
And all that is done

(Fernanda B. M.)


I cry
I try
I spy
I dry
This is me
I love
I see
I love the trees
I like the flowers
And animals
I am beautiful
And this is me

(Ana Carolina)
