3-+THE+FUTURE+IS+NOW

=== I'm thinking of the message of this film in the incredible words of Rogert Ebert:" Parents, when you have a rebel child who hates you, someday you will learn what a good person that child really was. It's the dream of every tormented adolescent. Many of them become parents themselves and get their turn at being resented. Such is life." Do we give our children and our youngsters time to set free from the rage, the resentment and allow them the space to transform themselves into full-fledged adults? Are we up to the task, the challenge? Do we listen to so many cries for help without pretending to be deaf? Is the example we set worth our effort and their time? Or do we simply shrug our shoulders and mumble "Such is life!" Time not only to wonder, but to take action! ANA WHAT ABOUT YOU? What kind of message did the film convey? ===
 * A. 1. What Is Work? I'm going to try and unlock this page for a while because some of you have reacted to the film "Remember Me" and the pyramid discussion incredibly. Let's hope our Mariana (Ah! Ah!), or any other student, doesn't delete part of it! Fingers crossed! ** media type="youtube" key="xQAw2IM4J9c?fs=1" height="151" width="192" **2. Do you agree with Einstein's quote ? ** **“If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play, and Z keeping your mouth shut.” ** B.1. I believe there are two opposing worlds: The World of Imagination Vs The World of Reality. I'd rather live in the World of Imagination. What about you?  2. First let's check the worksheet and the videos, shall we?

Here is the first fairy tale adapted to modern times. Are you really interested in reading it? Have a go and enjoy the reading! Mariana from 11th A was the first to contribute nicely to his page. Why don't you do the same? ** [[file:LITTLE_RED_RIDING_HOOD_MarianaSantos_11thA.doc]] **C. Now, time to do some viewing and speaking activities based on the film "REMEMBER ME". ** [[file:Remember Me_Worksheet.doc]]  <span style="background-color: #007000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">media type="youtube" key="XRVfUOa8h5E?fs=1" height="134" width="230"  <span style="background-color: #007000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%; line-height: 0px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden;">

The film made me think even more about the fact that everyone needs someone to be supported on, that 'someone' is the person who gives a shoulder for you to cry, a face for you to punch (whenever you feel anger) or simply a smile for you to feel better. THE person may take some time to appear, but when she/he does we will need her/him till the end. MarianaF

===**<span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">D. Thinking of the incredible Pyramid Discussion we (class 11th B) shared yesterday (2nd December), I didn't resist posting **<span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">here a special message, just for your eyes only. :)) === **<span style="background-color: #ffc100; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 10pt;">"For Maria he had become a different person whether he could be her salvation in the long term she did not know, but he saved her in a small way every time he crossed the water by making her pulse quicken. She was a woman again, not just a patient waiting on this rock to die" Victoria Hislop's words in "The Island", one of my favourite books, make me wonder whether we aren't all waiting for somebody or something to make us realise we are alive, we are (WO)MEN, not living dead. WE all need to be "saved in a small way", to feel our "pulse quicken", our heart beat stronger, be it provoked by a (wo)man or one of nature's little miracles of life. CARPE DIEM! (SEIZE THE DAY! and forget the Maths test, will you? :)) LIVE IN THE MOMENTS! **

<span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">**The Pyramid discussion in class 11th A was also very, very interesting and made me, somehow, figure out that you, teenagers, are worth fighting for.**﻿ **Adults sometimes overcricitise you without realising that they don't really listen when they ask for an opinion. They simply like to listen to themselves talking, or preaching :)) My mistake too! Sorry! ANA**
