In my short experience as a teacher I have been gradually changing my methodology in the classroom by observing, first, and how much I learn from teachers of the blogosphere, on the other, and one aspect I've changed was the way to evaluate the readings.
During my first year as a teacher, and following the tradition of my school, did tests to assess whether the students had read the book. The following year, I modified the test to include questions of interpretation, valuation and a little literary creation. In both cases I had a feeling of wastage reader teaching mixed with uneasiness, which increased to ensure that the reviews of readings (some even as a test!) Was not common in schools, but almost the only option arise.
The alternatives, as always, I found on the web: Videoformes literary, collaborative wikis , reading recommendations or interactive sequences proposals closer to the student, more open in terms of instruments and qualification criteria and with more juice than a cursory examination whose only requirement is to remember the color of the pants of Frederick.
As told in a previous post , reading chosen for the initial evaluation at 1 º ESO has been Abdel of Enrique Paez, a book to elaborate on different topics beyond the strictly literary, as the Arab world, illegal immigration, drug smuggling, labor exploitation and child and family values. If the books are a window to the world, try to open students up to the window to take advantage of what we offer.
With reading tab I made a purpose of the book I tried to make the students work on different aspects both thematic (the Arab world, the political, African geography) and language and literature (descriptions, reading comprehension, critical reviews creative writing, interviews), and the search information on the Internet.

And the culmination of the reading guide, Enrique Paez has been kind enough to answer via e-mail to an interview prepared by the students that were interested in his life, his career as a writer and related issues with the book they have read. Thank you very much, Enrique;)

Christmas I want to congratulate the readers of this blog by an amazing video that is circulating like wildfire on blogs and social networks and that has left me with my mouth open. It is made by the Portuguese company Excentric and tells the story of the birth of Jesus in a digital universe.

This is the synopsis of the video collection at Malaga opinion:

The video begins with a Google search on a map showing the location of Jerusalem. The Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel come across a message to the iPhone of the Virgin Mary, who is soon to inform her husband, "Joseph the Carpenter ', through Gmail," Joseph, we need to talk. I'm pregnant .. .. " Both head for Bethlehem, but ... How to get there and what mode of transportation? For that, nothing better than Google Maps and find a 'vehicle' in a 'rent a car '. The good news not long in coming to Facebook. San Jose invites you all to know the Son of God through this network. Hundreds of Christians respond to the call with 'I like'. The news reached the ears of the three Magi, who exchange messages from Twitter to see what they buy to the child. Eventually decided by the online store Amazon. To reach Bethlehem need to follow ('Follow') to the Star of Bethlehem. Finally, Baltasar hanging video of the arrival of Their Majesties the barn on Youtube.

CHRISTMAS TRIBUTE TO THE GENERATION OF 27 STORIES BUILDING

Hometown image
Today marks the anniversary of founding act of the Class of 27 that took place 83 years ago at the University of Seville. The poets of that group used the third anniversary of the death of Góngora to vindicate their poetry. Toni Solano
blogosphere has proposed to participate in this celebration. Like that we did last year , this time we also join in the tribute with a poem by Luis Cernuda that stands as a cry that proclaims love as the ultimate human freedom.




If man could say what he loves,
if the man could raise his love for
sky like a cloud in the light;
if, as walls crumble,
to greet the truth straight in the middle,
could collapse his body, leaving only
the truth of his love,
truth itself,
not called glory, wealth or ambition, but
love or desire,
imagined I would be one;
who with his tongue, his eyes and his hands
proclaims to people the truth ignored
the truth of his true love.

Freedom
not know but the freedom of being imprisoned in
someone whose name I can not hear without chill;
someone who I forget this miserable existence
for whom the day and night are to me what you want,
and my body and spirit floating in your body and spirit as
lost logs that the sea flooded or
up freely, the freedom of love, the only
freedom which exalts me,
the only freedom that I die.

You justify my existence:
if you do not know, I have not lived;
if I die without knowing, I do not die, because I have not lived.
