B2.2 Fri Feb 28th and Sat. Mar 1 Summaries

Hi,

I have actually received 2 summaries this week, one from each group.

First the Friday one from Cristina Caballero:

Hey! I am Cristina! I am going to do the summary of the friday's class (28th). 

First of all we discussed about  'operación palace' which say that the coup was a fake. All the class thinks that there were some weird things but at the end we believed that the coup was a fake. ( We discussed this because it was relevant to the Spanish transition, which we compared to the one in South Africa - Kate)

Second we did the listening on page 47 and we did the related exercises. The listening talked about the Truth and Reconciliation comission. In this listening we could appreciate the different pronunciations between black and whites. Other new vocabulary: to heal, appalled, perpetrators, evil , revelations

Later, we talked in groups of four about evil and other topics like an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

At the end of the class we started lesson 7 (Science and research) and we did the vocabulary in pairs.

Kate acted in a play this night, so I hope it  was ok and everybody enjoyed it. - Yes it went very well!!

Hmwk. Kate asked us to read one of the groups of 3 readings at the bottom of p. 49: (Student A)- File 8, p.155, (student B) - File 15 p.157 or (Student c) File 17 p. 159. We have to choose one of the 3 readings in each group and be prepared to talk about it and explain it. OR We can talk about a real scientific experiment or innovation we have read about recently. Kate assigned a different letter to each 3 or 4 students. Students who were absent, read File B or C. - Kate

And now José Pedro's summary from the Saturday group:

Hello Mates!!!!!!!!

We started the class talking about Jordi Évole’s TV program, I didn´t watch it, but Kate explained to us that it was about the coup of February 28^{th by} Tejero. Kate told us about what she remembers also.

Then we talked in groups, I heard some good opinions about the Spanish transition and differences between Spanish process and South African´s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We learned some vocabulary (examples: perpetrators, appalled, to heal…).
