C.E.C.I.E N° 25

Esta cuarentena nos tomó a todos por sorpresa y nos obligó a buscar nuevas formas de enseñanza, a los docentes. Y a los chicos, nuevas formas de aprendizaje. Lo más importante es que tengan en claro que las clases se están dictando , aunque no en forma presencial. Docentes y alumnos estamos trabajando y realizando un esfuerzo muy grande para que todo esta titánica tarea NO quede en el camino. Por eso es importante que tengan en cuenta lo siguiente:

*Dictado de Clases: En principio, será a través de trabajos prácticos y/o tareas que los profesores subirán al Padlet y los alumnos enviarán vía mail una vez realizadas. Dentro de las tareas podrán encontrar videos o links para trabajar online los contenidos abordados por los profesores.

Por el momento, nos estamos manejando de esta manera, pero SIEMPRE estará sujeta a cambios que dependen de decisiones Ministeriales y/o acordadas con cada curso y profesor.

*Envío de tareas: Toda tarea escrita tiene que estar en la carpeta, excepto las tareas online, ya que se resuelven y autocorrigen en la página (salvo que el alumno/a quiera conservarla). No duden en comunicarse si la tarea no se comprende. Las enviarán al mail cecie25cecie@gmail.com , a través de un archivo adjunto que puede ser una foto, un pdf o un documento Word.

*Evaluación: Los alumnos serán evaluados en cuanto a su compromiso, “participación remota” y realización de tareas. A la vuelta, en forma presencial, volveremos a retomar los contenidos para trabajarlos en forma personalizada. Siempre esperamos que los alumnos sigan trabajando en este idioma que cada uno ha elegido.

En este momento lo importante es cuidar la salud y cuidarnos entre todos. Quedemonos en casa.

WHAT ARE CECIES?

The "Centros Complementarios  de Idioma Extranjeros " ( Shool of Languages as popularly known) were created in 1982 - Supervision of Foreign Languages ​​of the Ministry of Education, Government of the City of Buenos Aires has a responsibility to find the means of achieving foreign language teaching quality in all schools of public administration at the primary level. Offered to all schoolchildren of all jurisdictions, they give students from 3rd form to 2nd Year the possibility of further studies of the same foreign language learning at school or starting their studies in another language after class schedules .Fifty-minutes -classes are held  three times a week. The course duration takes six years of study. Supplemental Foreign Language Education Centers emerged as an expression of the maximum  precepts of our Curriculum Desingn by offering:
• equality and equity of education opportunities for students in the system
• diversification of educational settings to include more areas
• constant work towards improving quality of service
• serve the community echoing their needs

The idea Supervisors of Foreign Languages, was to provide the same opportunities for foreign language skills to students of Elementary School who attended single shift schools and later  day, they received no teaching of a second language. Under these premises, opens the first School of Languages was opened ​​in 1983. As years went by  the recognition of educational authorities and other educational communities that prompted the opening of five new schools in many other Districts. They were intended as  Supplemental Educational Centers  From 1983 to date they have varied educational standards in general and for the centers, too. But they never lowered their tuition and all its functional organic plant facilities have increased in the area of ​​English and even more with the inclusion of other languages ​​such as French, Italian and Portuguese. Other changes worth mentioning are: the extension of the timing of shifts to fifty minutes each and the constant renewal of their curricula in order to overcome achievements and goalsr to broaden  current needs.

Los alumnos/alumnas que estén cursando la escuela secundaria en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y han realizado distintos trayectos en su aprendizaje de lenguas extranjeras, pueden acreditar sus saberes y conocimientos en idiomas mediante las siguientes certificaciones:

¿Cómo me inscribo para los exámenes CLE?

Los interesados en rendir exámenes CLE podrán realizar una preinscripción on-line,

LINK PARA ISCRIBIRSE:  https://www.buenosaires.gov.ar/areas/educacion/programas/cle

 

CIPI

●  Recordar que los candidatos que dan el examen CIPI son los que han estudiado el idioma

durante el primer tramo de la escolaridad primaria, y tienen alrededor de 9 años, ya que la

prueba está diseñada para este grupo etario y para un nivel de complejidad equivalente a esa

duración de estudios.

●  Destacar que es una experiencia que se espera tenga una repercusión positiva en el

aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera.

En relación con el examen:

●  Trabajar la producción escrita contextualizada, teniendo en cuenta los contenidos del DCLE

para ese nivel.

●  Al hacer trabajo oral en clase, practicar las "preguntas personales" para que los candidatos

estén preparados para dar información de sí mismos.

●  Intensificar el trabajo de los candidatos en los aspectos fonológicos de la lengua.

●  A los efectos de la práctica puede resultar útil consultar las actividades que se publican en la

página web del CLE.

CIC

●  Evitar la presentación de candidatos que superen ampliamente el nivel previsto en el examen

CIC o que aún no lo hayan alcanzado. Unos y otros pueden frustrarse en la experiencia.

●  Destacar que es una experiencia que se espera tenga una repercusión positiva en el

aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera.

En relación con el examen:

●  Propiciar en el aula la práctica de escritos contextualizados y la lectura de textos de

diferentes temas, géneros y tipologías próximos al campo de interés y experiencia de los

candidatos.

●  Trabajar con la mayor frecuencia posible la expresión oral, en particular la interacción entre

los alumnos, ya que a los candidatos, en general, les resulta dificultoso entablar diálogos en

lengua extranjera con otro par. Propiciar aquellas interacciones orales en las cuales los

alumnos tienen que resolver situaciones de la vida cotidiana.

●  Intensificar el trabajo de los candidatos en los aspectos fonológicos de la lengua.

●  Trabajar junto con los alumnos la producción escrita: El texto producido debe ser coherente

y reflejar cohesión, y no un texto fragmentado o de frases aisladas.

●  A los efectos de la práctica de escritura puede resultar útil consultar las actividades que se

publican en la página web del CLE.

●  Para desarrollar la comprensión lectora con alumnos CIC se remite al docente a los Aportes

Inglés

Ejemplo CIPI: El candidato ingresa a las 8:30 acompañado de los examinadores quienes proceden a la acreditación (control de documento) El examen escrito comienza a las 9:00 y finaliza a las 9:30. De allí el candidato pasa a la entrevista oral; la misma puede ser inmediatamente después de finalizar el escrito o dentro de la hora de finalización. Durante el turno de oral el candidato permanece en el aula acompañado de un examinador.

* La espera para rendir el examen oral corresponde a la permanencia del candidato en la sede examinadora durante la espera y el examen propiamente dicho. Al finalizar el examen escrito, un candidato puede pasar inmediatamente a la mesa del examen oral o puede tener que esperar a ser llamado. Por esta razón la duración del turno de oral puede variar.

In accordance with the death anniversary of William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra both in April 1616 this School of Languages proposed this year to work the following strategies and / or challenges that are presented below : 

1. reading texts of different genres advertising, website, correspondence, etc., as well as authentic materials (newspaper or magazine articles in English) that will be socialized to the class . 

2. The use of the school library will be enhanced by promoting the loan of books and reading for pleasure where students can choose different books that then discussed the group 

3. extensive reading will focus on classic works of Shakespeare adapted to different levels depending on the courses and particularly for the higher grades and parallelism who will work with the contemporary to Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra that. 

4. literary workshops will be organized and co-written production: work on oral production will be intensified on written from activities to gather information, survey data comparisons and contrasts of ideas and critical analysis; diversified tasks, working in teams on the same literary work: author biography, songs, topic and argument, dramatization, synthesis of the work, etc. with final conclusin to be exposed at the Multipurpose Room and incorporating the TICS, using computer and audiovisual tools. 

5. reading and writing texts will be promoted from dialogues, paragraphs and applying the acquired vocabulary in each unit will view gradually increasing level of complexity to get in the middle and upper test courses varied genres as: advertisements, newspaper articles , narratives, descriptions, stories, songs, recognizing the importance of drafts before reaching the final product in single form with subsequent publication in the digital blog and our  paper
magazine

6. writing a collaborative story will be proposed by Course. As a "traveling folder" a group of students will start writing a story that will be continued by his companions and passed from group to group until the end of the story with subsequent correction work, final editing and narration of it.

7.Oral presentations that will be promoted from topics that are of interesting to students which will allow them to a brief lecture or exposition on these subjects as well as dramatizations and interviews .

8. interviews , debates, role play will be organized in spaces for argumentation , suggestions and hypothesizing will be created

We will propose our students differnt everyday situations for the to work on casual dialogues, dramatise them and record them into videos that will be uploaded to our blog for sharing and interaction.

TIME TO READ:

Narrating stories:

A BAD DAY!

 

It happened one Saturday evening when I was six years old. My family and I were going to go to my grandparents´ house by car. It was my grandmother’s birthday. It was a rainy and cold day. We were near my grandparents´ house. My father stopped at a red traffic light when we saw a strange group of people.

Then something passed through the closed window and broke it. It was a stone that one of that people had thrown through the window. To my amazement, my mother was bleeding in her face. A piece of glass had cut his face and another piece had cut her very near of her left eye. I was very afraid, so I started to cry.

When we got to my grandparents´ house, my grandma phoned immediately to a doctor. He arrived ten minutes later. Luckily it wasn’t an important hurt, but everybody were worried about that.



 

A Film Review:  We have seen the film Coach Carter. It is a 2005 American film directed by Thomas Carter. It is based on a true story, in which Richmond High School basketball coach Ken Carter made headlines in 1999 for benching his MVP and undefeated team due to poor academic results.

The screenplay was co-written by Mark Schwahn, who created the TV series One Tree Hill. The movie also recycles a handful of plot-lines from another TV series, The White Shadow, which director Thomas Carter co-starred in.

The money for the construction came from lotteries and dinner parties. It was made in different sections and put in 250 boxes and shipped to America  The seven spikes of the statue represent the seven oceans. The statue’s face is the strong face of the sculptor’s mother. This statue was made with a lot of effort of the people and id a gift of France to the United States of America.

Are mobile phones are generally a good or a bad thing?

                       

 

II'´I'm going to give my own opinion about this topic. I´m not a lover of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, MSN and cellphones are not an exception. I love technological devices like computers, Tablet PS and software too. I won´t lie to you but I like the physical parts of cellphones, I mean, I like those devices and the things they are able to do, but some people use them a lot, and that may damage their health and their lives. There are people, especially lots of teenagers, that spend at least 4 hours per day in front of the computer in social networks and that´s something I really hate because they really miss real life. They miss the opportunity of a healthy life playing sports and going outside. Another thing that bothers me is those people that while you are talking to them they are talking on the phone, or sending text messages and they don´t look at your eyes and it seems as if they aren´t listening to you! I know there are people who says it´s not necessary to look at you to hear you, but I think it´s more a reason of respect to look at the other person´s eye. They don´t pay attention! I believe it´s important to mention the relationship between 3g cellphones and social networks. They may improve our communication system, but there are some moments when people use them without being conscious of time and that may cause changes in their normal behaviour as bad mood, headaches… That´s the blind side nobody wants to see. People are happy because it´s a fact you can communicate from Argentina to China  just using one piece of a technological device while our ancestors thought it was impossible! I agree with you if you think that cellphones improve our safety. My mum and dad always send me messages to see where I am. I feel it´s also necessary to let people  know about  the damage cellphones and social Networks may cause  to our lives and to nature too.

Anyway, I ‘ve really missed you since your last letter, I ca’t wait to see you again. Don’t laugh but I have already got my bags packed. By the way, I am bringing my guitar so that we can sing some songs at night.

TIME TO READ:

A strange story:

Once upon at time there were three teenage friends:  Brian, Paul and Tom. One day they went up a hill for a walk and they saw an abandoned house. The house was old and dark and something was strange with it. They could even hear some noises coming from it. So, that night they decided to investigate the old house. When Tom opened the door, they heard a woman’s shout. They started to look for the woman. They went upstairs…creak…!!! ; they heard the sound of the wooden floor as the stepped on it…They didn’t find the woman but they could still  hear her.

Suddenly, they saw her, she was tall and slim, she had got a long white hair, big hands, big white eyes, a little nose and a long white dress. She looked like a ghost!! The three friends were scared…!!! The teenagers ran, Brian fell and she caught him, Tom and Paul ran very fast but she caught Paul too. Tom was on the edge off the cliff, the woman scared him and Tom jumped off the cliff.

            A neighbour called  the police…They arrived very soon. They found that the teenagers were all dead.  “Oh, this is horrible, horrible” , said the neighbour and she heard a loud bang coming from behind her…not too far… a loud bang!! What was it…

Oh yes! I know what it was… It was my mother she was trying to open the window in my bedroom, it was 7.00 in the morning, time to go to school…I had had a dream…

Bunny and the Robot

unny heard the truck pull up in front of the house with his extra-sensitive rabbit ears. When Bunny went to window, he could see a man in a brown uniform climb out of the truck, take a package wrapped in brown paper out of the back, and come up the walk.

"Ding dong!" the doorbell said.

"Delivery for Mr. Mugsy!" the man in the uniform shouted.

"Just leave it on the step. Thank you," Bunny heard Mugsy say.

This really surprised Bunny. The people who lived in the house often got packages or mail delivered, but they were not home. Mugsy was a big, brown stuffed dog. Bunny had never heard of a stuffed animal, puppet, or toy of any sort getting a package sent to them. Bunny decided to find out what was going on.

Bunny climbed down to the bottom of the steps near the front door and peeked around the corner. Mugsy was sitting behind the front door. When he heard the truck drive away, Mugsy opened the door just a crack, stuck his head out and looked around to make sure nobody could see him. Then he reached out with his paws to snatch the package off the step.

The package was rather big, even for Mugsy to carry. It blocked his vision causing him to walk right past Bunny without even noticing he was there. Mugsy then made a turn and went down the family room steps. Bunny followed. Mugsy then opened the door to the basement and carried his box down there. Again Bunny followed.

In the basement, Bunny found a comfortable place on top of a paint can from where he could watch what Mugsy was doing. The big brown dog placed the package up on a workbench at one end of the room and then opened it. Inside were wires, bolts, nuts, metal bars and plastic parts in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Out of the box Mugsy also pulled a thick book with many pages. The title was "HOW TO BUILD AND OPERATE YOUR ROBOT." Mugsy flipped open the book and started reading.

Bunny asked, "Mugsy, are you going to build a robot?"

Mugsy, startled, looked up. "Bunny, I didn't know you were down here. You surprised me."

"Sorry," said Bunny, "So are you building a robot?"

"Yes," replied Mugsy, "I ordered this kit to build a robot."

"Can I help?" asked Bunny, excitedly.

"I suppose so," said Mugsy, "but it will take a long time. First we have to read the assembly instructions, then we need to actually put it together, then we need to learn how to operate it properly."

"That's all right," said Bunny, still enthusiastic, "I'm very patient."

"Good," said Mugsy, "How about taking notes while I read. Now it says here 'Chapter One: Putting Together the Main Drive. You should have two main gear drives, parts 106 and 107. You also need two five-inch springs numbered 345 and 346. Slide the small end of one of the springs over the shaft B on the gear drive number 106. Then use a 30-millimeter wrench to-'"

"Tell you what, Mugsy" said Bunny, yawning, "I'm going to take a little nap, then I'll come down and help you finish the robot. Okay?"

Mugsy smiled. "Okay, Bunny." And with that Bunny went up to the family room and took a snooze on the sofa.

 


 

Bunny slept most of the day, but when he awakened he remembered about Mugsy and the robot and headed down to the basement to see what was going on.

Mugsy was sitting on the floor reading the instruction manual that had come with the robot kit. Bunny could tell that he was almost to the end of the book. In front of Mugsy stood a gleaming red, white and blue robot with a clear plastic bubble for a head and tank-like tracks for feet.

"So Mugsy," said Bunny, "How is it going? Is the robot done?"

"The robot's name is the FRED 2000. Fred stands for 'Fully Robotic Electronic Droid.' I just finished reading the instructions on how to operate the FRED," said Mugsy, "now I'm going to test him out."

Mugsy addressed the robot in a clear voice. "Well, my mechanical friend, let's try out your motor. Robot, please drive once around me in a circle."

FRED's eyes lit up a soft blue color and blinked. In the dome on his head wheels and gears started to turn. Then the machine's tire tracks moved, and the robot made a perfect circle around Mugsy and stopped where it had started.

"Very good, FRED," said Mugsy, "Thank you."

The robot answered with a beep. Then the lights in its eyes went out and it seemed to go back to sleep.

"Well, said Mugsy, "It seems to be okay. I'm tired after working all day to put that robot together. I think I'll go up to the bedroom and rest."

"Mugsy," said Bunny, excitedly, "Could I play with the robot while you're gone? Please! PLEASE!"

"Bunny," replied Mugsy, "Operating the robot is complicated. Tell you what we'll do. Go read the instruction manual. By the time you finish that I'll be done my nap and we'll play with the robot together."

"Okay," said Bunny. He was unhappy about having to wait.

 


 

Bunny started to read the manual, but before he finished the first page he was bored. "Why do I need to read the instructions before operating the robot?" Bunny said to himself. "It's easy. I saw Mugsy do it. I'll try just one simple command to see if it works."

Bunny stood next to the robot and said, "Okay my mechanical friend. Go forward ten feet."

The robot did nothing.

Bunny was puzzled. Maybe if he tried it louder. "ROBOT, GO FORWARD TEN FEET!" he shouted.

This time the robot replied, "That does not compute."

Bunny was getting very frustrated. "What is wrong with you, you bumbling bucket of bolts,? I said, GO FORWARD TEN FEET!"

Suddenly, the robot's eyes lit up a bright red and the gears in its dome started spinning. The robot shot forward across the floor and crashed into the side of a trash can sitting on the basement floor. The can went over and trash scattered all over the place. Papers, old cereal boxes and plastic wrappers covered the basement floor.

Bunny, ignoring the fact that he'd told the robot to go too far, yelled, "Now look what you've done! Now I'm going to have to clean up this mess."

The little rabbit had started to pick up some of the papers when suddenly and idea occurred to him. Addressing the robot he said, "Okay, since you made the mess, you can clean it up! Robot, clean up everything on the floor and put it in the trash can."

The robot replied, "That does not compute."

"You bubble-headed bum! I said pick up everything on the floor and put it in the trash can!" The eyes on the robot lit up bright red and again the gears whirred. The robot turned, picked up a paper and then rolled over to the trash can. It dropped the paper in, then went to fetch a box and did the same thing. In a couple of minutes the entire basement floor was clean. Bunny smiled to himself and said, "Who needs the instruction book? Operating the robot is easy. After only five minutes I've got this thing cleaning up for me!"

Suddenly Bunny felt a metal claw clamp around his waist and he was lifted in the air. The robot had come up from behind him and picked him up. "What are you doing, you metal monster?," yelled Bunny. "Stop! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!" Then the robot let him go and Bunny fell straight into the trash can.

 


 

Bunny stood up, but couldn't see a thing. Then he realized there was an empty cereal box on his head. Shaking it off, Bunny climbed up the inside of the trash can. He reached the top and yelled at the robot, "Why, you transistorized tin can, you were supposed to throw trash in the can. Not me!"

The robot, ignoring Bunny, started climbing the stairs toward the family room.

"Come back here, robot! I command you to come back!"

Paying no attention to Bunny, the robot disappeared through the door at the top of the stairs.

Bunny, brushing some crumbs off his shoulders, leapt out of the trash can and followed the robot's trail. When he reached the doorway at the top ,Bunny saw the robot rolling towards him. Clutched in one claw was a small child's chair. In the other was an expensive vase.

"No! No! No!" shouted Bunny, "You were supposed to put the things you found on the basement floor into the trash, not things you find on the family room floor! Stop! Stop!"

"Warning! Warning! Danger! Danger! Obstruction in path!" announced the robot.

Bunny stretched out his paws to block the robot's progress. The robot did not stop. Instead it ran straight over Bunny.

 


 

When Bunny stood up he felt a little dizzy. He snapped out of his daze when he heard the crash of the vase as it broke when it hit the bottom of the trash can. Bunny realized if he didn't do something quick the robot would demolish the house. Bunny thought hard. He remembered a switch he'd seen on the back of the robot. He was certain it must be an off switch for FRED. If he could just throw that switch, the robot would probably stop dead in its tracks. If only he could just be certain that it really was an off switch.

While Bunny was thinking, the robot rolled past him headed into the family room again. Bunny tried to see the writing next to the switch as the robot went by, but the machine was moving too fast. Bunny thought about running upstairs to wake up Mugsy and getting him to stop the robot, but he remembered the big, brown dog's warning not to play with the robot without reading the instructions. Mugsy would be angry at him.

Bunny remembered the instruction manual was still in the basement. If he could look up the meaning of the switch in the book then he would know for sure...

Just then the robot rolled past him carrying a left sneaker and a remote control for the TV. As they crashed to the bottom of the trash can Bunny decided he didn't have time to look up the meaning of the switch in the manual. He hid behind the door and just as the robot came in, Bunny did a mighty rabbit jump after him, throwing the switch on the back of the robot.

The machine came to a sudden stop. Instead of sitting still, however, the robot began to shake harder and harder. Inside the machine there was a whirring sound that got louder and louder, like an engine revving up. Now that the robot wasn't moving ,Bunny could read the words next to the switch he had thrown. The label read "SPEED". With horror, Bunny realized that the switch had been set on "REGULAR" and he had turned it to "TURBO." With a screech of his tracks the robot took off.

Moving much faster than he had been before, the robot circled the family room, picking stuff off the floor and piling it underneath his other arm. A shoe, an umbrella, a magazine, and a chess board all disappeared into the trash before Bunny could even move.

The robot decided it was done in the family room and headed up the steps to the bedrooms. Bunny ran after it shouting, "No! No! Stop! Stop, you nuts and bolts ninny! Stop, I say."

The children must have not cleaned up their rooms before they left for school because the robot came back down the steps with its arms loaded with toys it had found on the floor. Books, tapes, cassette radios, clothes, even a toy rocket ship was in the robot's clutches as he headed for the trash can in the basement. Bunny had just enough time to dodge out of its way and avoid being run over again.

"Oh, no!" thought Bunny to himself as he heard the objects hit the bottom of the can. "What am I going to do?"

The robot shot past Bunny and headed upstairs. It was going so fast now that Bunny couldn't keep up. Bunny was halfway up the steps when the robot started down them again. Clutched in its right claw was Bunny's best friend, Blue Penguin.

"Help, Bunny, help," Blue Penguin called. "This thing has me and I don't know where it is taking me!"

Bunny stood in the robot's path and put up his paws. "Stop you-you supercilious, cybernetic short-circuit. Put my friend down!"

For a moment Bunny thought he was going to get run over again. But suddenly the robot's other claw reached out and Bunny was caught in its grip. The machine carried both of them down to the basement and dropped them with a thud into the very full trash can.

"Bunny," cried Blue Penguin as they climbed to the top of the can. "What is that thing and why did it throw us in the trash?"

"It's a robot," replied Bunny, "and it's-"

They had reached the top of the can and when they looked over the rim they saw the robot approaching. It must have believed it had finished its task because in its claw it held the tightly-fitting lid of the trash can.

"Bunny, if it puts the lid on the trash can we won't be able to get out. We'll go out with the trash," yelled the little penguin in a panic.

"Stop it! Stop it, you idiosyncratic, ill-bred, ignorant automaton," Bunny shouted in vain. The robot, ignoring Bunny's commands, raised the lid to slam it down on the can.

"Robot, PLEASE stop," a familar voice said.

The robot came to an immediate stop and the red lights in its eyes winked out.

The voice belonged to Mugsy. He had arrived at the top of the stairs just in the nick of time. Mugsy came down the stairs and helped Blue and Bunny out of the can.

"Mugsy, am I glad you showed up," said Bunny relieved. "I thought we were going for a ride in the garbage truck."

"Bunny," said Mugsy sternly, "did you start playing with the FRED-2000 without reading the instructions or waiting for me?"

"Well, just a little," admitted Bunny.

"A little?" said Mugsy. "Look at this mess. If you read the instructions you would have known that you are always supposed to say 'PLEASE' when you give the robot a command and never call it mean names. Otherwise it may not do what you want."

"You can say that again," commented Blue looking at the trash can that was now stuffed with valuable items from all over the house.

"Now you take all that stuff out of the trash can and put it back where it belongs," commanded Mugsy.

"Couldn't we get the robot to do it?" asked Bunny. "After all, it was really his-"

"You managed to run the robot's battery down to nothing, Bunny," said the big, brown dog. "It needs a rest. Besides, I think it would be a good lesson for you if you had to make things right."

"Come on," said Blue Penguin, "I'll help you put everything back."

"Great," replied Bunny walking to the trash can, "Let's start over here." After a couple of steps, Bunny turned around to look at the little blue penguin. Blue Penguin was just standing there and hadn't moved an inch.

"What's the matter, Blue?" asked Bunny.

"You forgot to say PLEASE."

THE END

CIPI

●  Recordar que los candidatos que dan el examen CIPI son los que han estudiado el idioma

durante el primer tramo de la escolaridad primaria, y tienen alrededor de 9 años, ya que la

prueba está diseñada para este grupo etario y para un nivel de complejidad equivalente a esa

duración de estudios.

●  Destacar que es una experiencia que se espera tenga una repercusión positiva en el

aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera.

En relación con el examen:

●  Trabajar la producción escrita contextualizada, teniendo en cuenta los contenidos del DCLE

para ese nivel.

●  Al hacer trabajo oral en clase, practicar las "preguntas personales" para que los candidatos

estén preparados para dar información de sí mismos.

●  Intensificar el trabajo de los candidatos en los aspectos fonológicos de la lengua.

●  A los efectos de la práctica puede resultar útil consultar las actividades que se publican en la

página web del CLE.

CIC

●  Evitar la presentación de candidatos que superen ampliamente el nivel previsto en el examen

CIC o que aún no lo hayan alcanzado. Unos y otros pueden frustrarse en la experiencia.

●  Destacar que es una experiencia que se espera tenga una repercusión positiva en el

aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera.

En relación con el examen:

●  Propiciar en el aula la práctica de escritos contextualizados y la lectura de textos de

diferentes temas, géneros y tipologías próximos al campo de interés y experiencia de los

candidatos.

●  Trabajar con la mayor frecuencia posible la expresión oral, en particular la interacción entre

los alumnos, ya que a los candidatos, en general, les resulta dificultoso entablar diálogos en

lengua extranjera con otro par. Propiciar aquellas interacciones orales en las cuales los

alumnos tienen que resolver situaciones de la vida cotidiana.

●  Intensificar el trabajo de los candidatos en los aspectos fonológicos de la lengua.

●  Trabajar junto con los alumnos la producción escrita: El texto producido debe ser coherente

y reflejar cohesión, y no un texto fragmentado o de frases aisladas.

●  A los efectos de la práctica de escritura puede resultar útil consultar las actividades que se

publican en la página web del CLE.

●  Para desarrollar la comprensión lectora con alumnos CIC se remite al docente a los Aportes

Inglés

Ejemplo CIPI: El candidato ingresa a las 8:30 acompañado de los examinadores quienes proceden a la acreditación (control de documento) El examen escrito comienza a las 9:00 y finaliza a las 9:30. De allí el candidato pasa a la entrevista oral; la misma puede ser inmediatamente después de finalizar el escrito o dentro de la hora de finalización. Durante el turno de oral el candidato permanece en el aula acompañado de un examinador.

* La espera para rendir el examen oral corresponde a la permanencia del candidato en la sede examinadora durante la espera y el examen propiamente dicho. Al finalizar el examen escrito, un candidato puede pasar inmediatamente a la mesa del examen oral o puede tener que esperar a ser llamado. Por esta razón la duración del turno de oral puede variar.

A NICE STORY

Bunny and the Christmas Present

ll the stuffed animals and puppets were sitting in the living room one afternoon late in December watching the people decorate the Christmas tree. As they sat on the sofa under a warm blanket, they talked quietly so that the people wouldn't notice.

"Christmas is my favorite time of year," remarked the terri-cloth bear. "Mine too," agreed Blue Penguin.

"I can't wait for Christmas Eve to come."

"I wonder what Santa will bring us this year," said Truble, a white, fluffy stuffed dog.

"I'd like us to get a toy bulldozer, " said Bear.

"I hope one of the kids gets a toy boat," remarked Blue Penguin, "Then I could sail it."

There was a commotion in the room as one of the children opened up a big bag filled with Christmas decorations. Inside the bag was a large stuffed bear with a red stocking cap. Across the cap was the name 'Rudi' in bright green letters. One of the little boys placed the bear on the sofa next to the animals. Next, out of the bag he pulled a black and white Penguin wearing antlers and a dinosaur wearing a Santa cap and a scarf. These also were placed on the sofa. When the children walked out of earshot the animals and puppets greeted the newcomers.

"It's nice to see you again, Rudi," said Bunny addressing the white bear.

"Yes, we're glad you could come for Christmas," added Mugsy. "All of you."

"It's certainly good to get out of the bag and wake up from hibernation," replied Rudi. "Eleven months is a long time to sleep."

The Christmas decorations spent most of their time sleeping in a warm cozy bag in the basement. Once a year, during the Christmas season, they came out to celebrate Christmas and visit the stuffed animals and puppets that lived in the children's rooms.

The animals and decorations sat on the couch happily watching the tree being trimmed as they talked about Christmas plans and presents. As they were sitting, there Blue noticed that Bunny seemed unnaturally quiet. So he asked, "Bunny, what would you like for Christmas?"

The little rabbit rested his chin on his paws and thought for a moment. "I don't know. We seem to have a lot of toys to play with here already. I want something special. But I don't know what it is!"

"Well, Santa will know," remarked Mugsy, the big brown dog. "Santa is very wise."


The last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn't sleep. He still couldn't think of what he wanted his special Christmas present to be. He wondered how Santa would know what to bring him if he didn't know himself.

As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a thumping on the roof and a noise downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized.Bunny hopped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to catch a glimpse of the jolly old elf before Santa departed for his next stop.

By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Brightly wrapped presents were piled under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a groan.

"Hello," said Bunny, "Is somebody there?"

He was answered by another groan. Bunny peeked around the a big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and mournful eyes. Bunny might have mistaken the creature for a dog, if it hadn't been for the antlers on his head.

"Are you a reindeer?" asked Bunny. The creature replied with another groan. It was obvious it wasn't feeling very well.

"Does your tummy hurt?" asked Bunny.

The reindeer nodded. Bunny went off to find a bottle of fizzy soda to quiet the reindeer's stomach.


"So you're a reindeer?" asked Truble.

By now all the excitement of Christmas morning was over. The children had gone with their parents to their Aunt's house for Christmas dinner and the stuffed animals had the place to themselves.

"Yes, replied the brown creature with antlers, "my name is Ralph."

"And you were pulling Santa's sleigh?, " asked Rudi Bear.

"I was until I got air-sick," replied Ralph, "Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer."

"Isn't it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick," asked the Velocirapter puppet. "I mean, isn't flying what reindeer are famous for?"

"I'm afraid that I've always had a sensitive stomach when it comes to flying," replied Ralph. "But everyone expected me to pull Santa's sleigh, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I'm afraid I just wasn't cut out for the job. Now I'm stranded here and I don't know how to get back to the North Pole."

"I guess flying your way home is out, " said Velocirapter.

Ralph shook his head. "No, I couldn't. Thanks to my friend, Bunny, here, I'm feeling much better-"

Bunny smiled. He had stayed up all night nursing the reindeer back to health with fizzy soda and a warm bed made of sofa cushions and blankets.

"-but," continued Ralph, "I'll never be able to make that flight all alone."

"I have an idea," said Bunny. "You need to go by ground. How about a train?"

"A train would work," replied Ralph. "Do you know where I can find one?"

"Yes!" replied Bunny.


Bunny, Ralph the Reindeer and a couple of other stuffed animals went down to the basement. On the floor, parked neatly at a station, was a toy train. Bunny found a place for Ralph to sit on a flatcar located behind the shiny steam locomotive.

All the animals waved goodbye.

"Nice meeting you, Ralph," said Blue.

"Have a smooth trip back to the North Pole."

"Say hello to Santa for us," added Rudi Bear.

"All aboard," announced Bunny. Bunny found the power pack that controlled the engine and switched it on. The train pulled out of the station. As it disappeared around a curve, Bunny ran after it and waved to the reindeer. "Wish you could have stayed longer, Ralph. Goodbye."

When the train was gone, Bunny felt a little sad. "I'm going to miss Ralph," he told Blue. Before Bunny could say more the train rounded the track and pulled back into the station. Sitting on the flatcar was Ralph. His eyes looked more mournful than ever.

"Bunny," remarked the Velocirapter. "I think this toy train track just goes around in an oval. You can't get to the North Pole on it."

"Oh," replied Bunny, "I forgot."


"Ralph, don't be sad," said Bunny as they sat in the kitchen drinking hot chocolate, "We just need to find some vehicle that doesn't run on tracks. Then you can take it whatever direction you'd like. Even to the North Pole."

"Like a car?" asked Rudi Bear.

"That's it!" exclaimed Bunny. "Last year one of the boys got a radio-controlled car for Christmas. We can use that!"

Ten minutes later the animals had managed to get the car down from the closet shelf and out of its box. Bunny stood with the remote control in his paws. "Let me see. I think if I push this lever forward it will make the car go. Watch out everyone!"

Bunny pushed the lever, but nothing happened.

"Hmmmm. There must be something wrong..." Bunny walked over in front of the car, pushing the lever forward as he peered under the front bumper. Meanwhile Blue Penguin spotted a switch on the back of the car and flipped it to the "ON" position.

"Does this help?" he asked.

Bunny was still looking under the bumper and holding the lever all the way up. Suddenly the car shot forward and ran straight over Bunny. When Bunny opened his eyes he found himself peering up at Blue.

"Opps-Sorry" the little penguin said.

They got the car downstairs and Bunny gave Ralph a quick driving lesson. Then, with the reindeer perched on top of the car holding the control, everyone repeated their goodbyes.

"Nice meeting you, Ralph," said Blue.

"Have a smooth trip back to the North Pole."

"Say hello to Santa for us," added Rudi Bear.

"Remember, go out to the end of the street, turn North and just keep on going," said Bunny. Then he turned to yell toward the front of the house. "Open the door for him!"

Several stuffed animals pushed open the front door of the house. The car shot forward, but then suddenly lost speed. It came to rest just inside the front door on the welcome mat.

"What's the matter?" asked Ralph.

"Oh, I guess the batteries are dead," said Bunny. "But we can fix that. All we need to do is take them out and hook them up to the recharger for a few hours-"

"Bunny, that won't work," said Mugsy, coming down from the bedroom where he'd been sleeping. "The North Pole is very far away. Even if you charged the batteries all the way up it wouldn't be enough to get Ralph there."

Bunny frowned.

"There is only one sure way of getting Ralph to the North Pole," declared Mugsy.

"What's that?" asked Bear.

"Well, you should know, Bear. You sent something to the North Pole last week."

"My letter to Santa?" Bear replied.

"That's it!" shouted Bunny with glee, "We'll mail Ralph to the North Pole!"


The stuffed animals found a box big enough for Ralph to be comfortable in during the trip. They cut some slits in the sides so he could see and lined the box with blankets to keep him warm. Bunny found a paper and pen and addressed the box to 'Santa Claus, North Pole Place.' Then they put as many stamps on it as they could find around the house.

"Well, this is it, Ralph," said Bunny, "this time you're really on your way. I'm going to miss you. Have a nice trip."

Then tears began rolling down the reindeer's cheeks.

"What is it?" asked Mugsy. "Why are you crying, Ralph?"

"Well," explained the reindeer, "Being a reindeer that gets air-sick I always feel out of place at the North Pole. Here I felt right at home and everyone was so nice to me. Now I have to leave."

"No you don't," said Bunny, "you can stay with us as long as you want."

"But who wants a reindeer around the house in the summer?" asked Ralph. "I'd be out of place again."

"I have an idea," said Rudi Bear, "You could be a Christmas decoration like us! Then you could come out at Christmas time and hibernate the rest of the year."

"Really? Could I?" asked Ralph.

"Of course," said Bunny. "Then you could be our friend all the time and visit us every Christmas."

The animals were so happy about Ralph's decision to stay that they decided to have a Christmas party. They got milk from the refrigerator and broke into the tins containing the Christmas cookies.

"Won't the Mommy notice some of the cookies are missing?" asked Blue.

"Don't worry," replied Bunny, "She'll just blame it on the Daddy."

As they sat together eating cookies, Bear said, "Well, Bunny, did you ever figure out what special present you wanted from Santa?"

Bunny thought about this for a moment and then broke into a smile. "Yes, I did." Putting his paw around Ralph he added, "The special present was a new friend!"

AN OUTING TO THE THEATRE TO SEE THE PLAY YOUNG EINSTEIN

 

AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE OF EDUCATIONAL DRAMA

THIS YEAR YOUNG EINSTEIN BY BUENOS AIRES PLAYERS - Don't lose it September 24th at Lude Theatre Tickets $165

SYNOPSIS

Albert is a 15 year old boy in a new school. He is the smartest, the most intelligent kid at school, but he has no friends.

His parents, Pauline and Hermann, are worried about this. Back from school, he loves to spend the rest of the day in his lab working on a Relativity Theory and other crazy experiments.

Albert wants to find out how to make friends. So he decides to use all his genius to find the best way to be accepted.

Albert proves to be a bit of a rebel regarding his thoughts and the discoveries of a respected physicist as Isaac Newton was. To pass the year, Ms. Degenhart assigns, young Albert Einstein and Michelle Besso, a challenging homework. Albert will have to tutor Mike on the works of Isaac Newton.

By explaining, in a humorous and smart way, the three basic laws that Newton revealed, Mike will understand Newton´s Laws, and Albert will understand that the best way to make friends, is to be himself!

Join us on this wonderful play about a kid who would grow to be the greatest scientist of the 20th Century!

Professor Lucy Green- An interview to a Native Speaker

Teacher Lucy Green, from London, vists Argentina and Greets Students from CECIE 25

A Nice Visit From London To Argentina : LUCY GREEN

Popular musicians acquire some or all of their skills and knowledge informally, outside school or university, and with little help from trained instrumental teachers. How do they go about this process? Despite the fact that popular music has recently entered formal music education, we have as yet a limited understanding of the learning practices adopted by its musicians. Nor do we know why so many popular musicians in the past turned away from music education, or how young popular musicians today are responding to it. Drawing on a series of interviews with musicians aged between fifteen and fifty, Lucy Green explores the nature of pop musicians' informal learning practices, attitudes and values, the extent to which these altered over the last forty years, and the experiences of the musicians in formal music education. Through a comparison of the characteristics of informal pop music learning with those of more formal music education, the book offers insights into how we might re-invigorate the musical involvement of the population. Could the creation of a teaching culture that recognizes and rewards aural imitation, improvisation and experimentation, as well as commitment and passion, encourage more people to make music?
 Since the hardback publication of this book in 2001, the author has explored many of its themes through practical work in school classrooms. Her follow-up book, Music, Informal Learning and the School: A New Classroom Pedagogy (2008) appears in the same Ashgate series.

UP TO YOU...

Students from all different levels got together in one of our big classrooms and asked lot of intersting questions which Sofia so cordially answered and were eager to hear more and more about her and her home place. As she left the Centre she promise to come backa again by the scond part of the year and start a series or wrokships together with our teachers and students of different levels to work on different litearture works and induce our students into the habit and pleasure of reading...here are some snapshots taken on her visit. 

READING AND VIDEO PROJECT 2014

             This particular year which is the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth we aim at surfing into the bibliography of this important author, father or English Literature and many other authors as an important project to work out in our classrooms. As an apporach to this task some of our students have searched information about William's Shakespeare's life and these are some of their products:

 

 

An interview to MESSI by M Victoria Hermida 3rd year:

23rd April. ANNIVERSARY OF SHAKESPEARE's BIRTH:

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire and was baptised a few days later on 26 April 1564. His father, John Shakespeare, was a glove maker and wool merchant and his mother, Mary Arden, was the daughter of a well-to-do landowner from Wilmcote, South Warwickshire. It is likely Shakespeare was educated at the local King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford. He married at the age of 18 to Anne Hathaway, the daughter of a local farmer, on November 28, 1582. She was eight years older than him and their first child, Susanna, was born six months after their wedding. Two years later, the couple had twins, Hamnet and Judith, but their son died when he was 11 years old. Shakespeare was prolific, with records of his first plays beginning to appear in 1594, from which time he produced roughly two a year until around 1611. His hard work quickly paid off, with signs that he was beginning to prosper emerging soon after the publication of his first plays. By 1596 Shakespeare’s father, John had been granted a coat of arms and it’s probable that Shakespeare had commissioned them, paying the fees himself. A year later he bought New Place, a large house in Stratford.Shakespeare spent the last five years of his life in New Place in Stratford. He died on 23 April 1616 at the age of 52 and was buried in Holy Trinity Church in Stratford. He left his property to the male heirs of his eldest daughter, Susanna. He also bequeathed his 'second-best bed' to his wife. It is not known what significance this gesture had, although the couple had lived primarily apart for 20 years of their marriage.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Celebrating a new anniverary of William's shakespeare's birth, let's share an illustrated summary of his most famous play, a true love story and a tragedy at the same time: ROMEO AND JULIET.

Watch the play on these cartoons and make a little summery oft he story and write some lines about the story:

1-Mention the names of the Protagonists

2-Mention some of the other characters in the story.

3-Is this a happy or a sad story? Why?

4-What would you change of the story to make a different ending?

London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) mediaeval boundaries. With its population of 7,375 in 2011, it is the smallest city in England. Since at least the 19th century, the term London has also referred to the metropolis developed around this core.[6] The bulk of this conurbation forms the London region] and the Greater London administrative area, governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly

London is a leading global city with  strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism and transport all contributing to its prominence.[12] It is one of the world's leading financial centres and has the fifth- or sixth-largest metropolitan area GDP in the world depending on measurement London is a world cultural capital .
