Facts about tropical cyclones

Tropical cyclones are named ¨cyclones¨ in the Indian Ocean, ¨hurricanes¨ in the Caribbean and ¨typhoons¨ in the South China Sea. The conditions for these to form are that they have to be near the tropics, they occur by the end of summer and beginning of autumn when water is hottest, the temperature of the water has to be at its maximum (27 degrees) and finally the humidity has to be high.  Moreover, they form only over warm ocean waters. The warm moist air rises upwards and moves up and away where there is less air near the surface. The system of clouds and wind spin fed by the oceans heat and water. As it becomes faster and faster, an eye forms in the centre. Besides, a hurricane loses its energy when it gets in touch with land since the water is the one that gives energy to the hurricane. Based on a hurricane’s sustained wind speed they can be classified in a scale from 1 to 5. This is called the ¨Saffir Simpson Scale. In category 1 hurricane, winds range from 74 to 95 mph and the damage is minimum however. In a Category 5 hurricane, the highest category hurricane, winds are 157 mph or higher and the damage is huge.

Names are given to hurricanes. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) keeps a list of names to use. There are different names given for each region of the world.  Names are taken from an alphabetic list that is used again every six years. In 1979 names of men were added. It also is important to mention that if the hurricane was very deadly, the name given to it cannot be repeated. In addition, hurricanes cannot be prevented and you can never know its direction. Some consequences are: loss of life, they destroy everything like home possessions, floodings, economic loses, leaving people jobless as industries are ruined. Also health consequences may occur for example cholera, among others.

¿Seres vivos o no?

En la clase de Biología, argumentamos sobre si los virus  son seres vivos o no. En mi opinión, no lo son, aunque comparten algunas características con los seres vivos, como por ejemplo, el material genético, desde el punto de vista metabólico, los virus son inertes. Además, no se nutren ni se relacionan, no respiran, sin embargo son capaces de replicarse.

From the beggining to the end

At the begining of the year, we learned about the differet types of theatre and their practitioners. Some were, Theatre in education, Bretch, Physicall theatre. Then for the last project, in groups (I was with Santiago, Florencia, Valentina y Julian we chose Theathre in education to represent a play we invented.
  Theatre in education is used to encourage effective learning in schools. You have to consider the age of the audience and pick a genre for the play that suits with them. Morever it has lots of benefits like self confidence, imagination, empathy, collaboration, concentration, communication, relations, emotional outlet, skills and physical fitness. In our play we includes:

• Breaking the fourth wall
• Participation of the audience
• Suitable performance for the audience
• Engaging the young audience

The script:

You should tell someone

This takes place in a school where two teenagers Santiago and flopy are walking through the hallways Julian and lara appeared and started bordering them.

Lara: Oh! look who is here! The nerd and his girlfriend, stop kissing each other and give me your homework!

Santiago:  She is not my girlfriend and I won't give you anything!

(Julian push santi and flopy helps him get up again and lara push her too)

Flopy: What's your problem? Leave us alone!

Julián: No we won't because you deserve all this!

Santiago: But why? What did we do?

Lara: You know

(Julian and lara push them and walk away)

Flopy: Santi we have to tell someone! This can't go on!

Santiago: No we can't! If not... Lara will never like me

Flopy: But obviously she doesn't likes you! She borders you!

Santiago: Maybe she bothers me because she likes me?

Flopy: I don´t think so...let's go to class

Flopy: (to the audience) Do you think she likes him? He is so stupid, she obviously doesn’t like him.

(They pick up their things from the floor and go class)

Julián: This used to be funny but now they defend theirselves

Lara: Yes, I know, it's boring but we can't stop doing it otherwise they feel like they won

Julián: we can hurt them physically now!

Lara:- We can't! Poor boy!

Julian: What about the girl?

Lara7: oh... yes... the girl too

Julián: Let's see what we can do

(They run into santi in the hallways and star bordering him. Flopy saw them and went to look for the teacher. When Flopy and the teacher arrived they see Santi on the floor been kicked by Julian and lara)

Tiny- What's happening here? You two to my office! Now!

(Julian and lara didn't move, they stood right were they where)

Tiny-Flopy help your friend get up, I will have a serious talk with this two.

(Flopy and santi go back to class and the teacher goes to the office with the other two)

At the office:

Tiny: I can't believe it! This is unecceptable at my school! I can't believe this was going on and I didn't notice it! Why are you doing this?

Julián -It's fun

Tiny -do you understand this is serious? This people are suffering because you are "having fun"

Lara: i regret what I have done

Tiny: and why you are still doing it? You really find it funny? This children are not passing through good moments you are ruining their teenage year

Julián: what would be our punishment?

Tiny: (To the audience ) I have not decided it yet but it is going to be the best for them to reflex and understand

Lara: okay

Julián I hate you

Tiny: I think I know what the punishment should be..

Lara:What?

Tiny: first of all i will call your parent and inform them what is going on

Julian: No please! Batty will be so let down and disappointed

Tiny: that’s the price, you are also going to be suspended for a week, apologise to  Santi and Flopi and for the rest of the year you are going to work with them

Lara: But they hate us it is going to be awful for ua

Tiny: They can let their differences aside and i am sure they will treat you as equals, unlike you. I am going to take care of the situation now, you can leave.

Tiny: (To the audience) Do you believe that what I did was enough to solve the problem?

La poesía Vanguardia

En poesía, una de las corrientes principales que aprendimos fue la vangurdia. La vanguardia, provoca una reacción en el lector, irrumpe con nuevas formas o temáticas. En este genero se utiliza la meteórica, la rima y el ritmo. En las poesías de vanguardia existe una libertad de expresión, así nacen los versos libres. Por otra parte, encontramos recursos retóricos como las metáforas, las metonimias, las antítesis entre otras. Las características principales de la vanguardia son:
- Las nuevas temáticas
- La asociación libre (de sonidos y significados)
- Creación de nuevas palabras
- El rechazo de la razón
- La centralidad de la perspectiva subjetiva
- Los juegos con los sentidos
- Nuevas formas de versos

A continuación, escribimos poesías aplicando este movimiento literario.

Primer poema (individual):

En este poema tuvimos que hacer un caligrama, es decir una poesía donde la disposición gráfica de los versos se relacione con la temática. Mi temática en este poema son los labios.

Te pinto

pintar tu boca  es como tocar el cielo, 

tus labios hablan solos,

tus lunares se ríen

y cuando sonreís mi corazón salta,

y te quiero llenar de vida,

de besos y brazos

pienso que suertudo soy

mientras te pinto.

Segundo poema (hecho con Azul):

En este poema, que era de a 2, había que combinar los caligramas individuales.

Te pinto,

ella no habla, pero con su mirada

fría te observa

su belleza me atrae,

sus labios hablan solos,

sus lunares se ríen,

pero cuidado no te dejes llevar

ni por sus palabras,

ni por sus modales

igual yo te pinto y te quiero llenar de vida

a vos niña confundida

te quiero llenar de besos y abrazos

y pienso que suertudo soy

porque al final me dejaste ver

el verdadero color de tu mirada

Poesía (con 3 mecanismos):

En este poema, nuevamente de a 2 tuvimos que escribir otra poesía con al menos 3 de los siguientes mecanismos:

-neologismos (nueva creación en una lengua)

-importancia de los sentidos sobre los significados

-nuevas palabras por combinación

-multiplicidad de sentidos 

Veo veo, vos ves?

veo veo va bien

veo veo , venoso

veo vistas verticles

veo viajur vuzis

veo volar vacas

ví

vió

vimos

veremos

veo veo, vos vas a ver

Poesía de cadáver exquisito (hecho con Valentina, Trinidad, Azul, Florencia y Olivia)

Tema: la Luna

Un cadáver exquisito, lo que puede escribir desde lo inconsciente, sin pensarse. Por eso en grupos, cada integrante escribía un verso y luego otro y así por tres rondas, pero la idea de que sea cadáver exquisito es que nadie pueda ver lo que el otro escribía. El tema que elegimos fué la Luna y nos quedó así: 

La Luna que aulla

alta en el cielo blanca como la nieve

la Luna baila

Luna lunera, estrellas amarillas

Luna redonda, como una mandarina

sin ella todo cambia, los mares crecen, todo estaría perdido

la Luna brilla con lunares

y me di cuenta que hay una Luna para cada noche

mientras miro la Luna de Rasqui tumbado en la arena blanca

la Luna es linda como la monalisa

¿De qué color es la Luna? 

¿Será naranja como una mandarina?

El Sol es luz, la Luna la oscuridad

y con la bella Luna lunera

la vi, la seguí mirando

la observé y la seguí observando

la Luna me habla solo a mí

la Luna sale a la noche
