....the last words in this blog....

Working with blogs can be a very good tool that helps you to see the progress that your students are having in your subject. Nowadays, blogs have increased their popularity because teachers and students are using them to accomplish tasks for schools. This is a good way to engage your students to your subject, through something that they are use to, technology. However, its use has to be always guarded by you because internet has a lot of information, that sometimes is not good for your students.

The main advantages of using blogs, is the way how you can share your interests with others with the same ones. You write about whatever you want and your friends get into your blogs and leave a message to you, adding more information or just saying something funny about what you have written, for example: the time, when we should talk about a painting that has called our attention the most, I did it based on the one called “The Scream” and Nathalia left me a message adding more information and agreeing in almost all the info that I gave (her comments seemed very clever). I didn’t understand why she knew too much about my post. But, when I reacted and went to her blog, I realized that she had done the same as me!! That was so fun because I thought she was very interesting in my post.

Another advantage for using blogs in the classroom is that you can increase the writing in your students, and they will not realize of this (they will think that this is just another assignments to get a new grade for the course). You can check all the blogs and see the strengths and weaknesses that they have in the are that you are measuring, as Simon did with us in this course.

On the other hand, what has been threatening me the most, it’s that internet spreads a lot info that sometimes it is not appropriated for students. So, it is necessary, that the teachers teach the students to discriminate the websites (where they have to go and look for information) beferore the task starts, in order to avoid they can find bad influence from it.

Finally, work with blogs in classrooms can be useful, to increase to your students the love for writing, through a way that they are used to. Thus, they will feel more engaged with this task and like this more willing to accomplish all the goals that this activities present along the process. However, the teachers have to be aware of the websites that their students are going to be using, in order they can find erroneous information

sorry!!

a great painting!!

The first time that I saw this Picture I got scared. Actually, it has threatened me until now!! However, every time that I find this picture in anywhere, I can stop and look at it a long time. This is a very good painting that represents the anguish of somebody that is lost or has lost something valued for him/her. When you see this painting you are not strange to it, you can feel exactly the same as the character. That is the main purpose of all the paintings. And that is what the painter expects of you, through the colours and details.

I hate maths!!

I don’t know why I always have hate maths. Actually, this subject is like my trauma. I try to put much effort to accomplish all my tasks in it. However, when I am in front of a test, something happened to my, that I did all the exercises bad. Actually, before take the test I tried to study with some of my classmates. But my performances in it were deplorable. But, this problem was not only at the school. When I entered at the university, I had to take maths (again!!) I was so nervous because I have never been good at maths so I had a prediction on my mind. Thankfully, I could pass the subject without too many problems.

...Rumble Fish...

Rusty James: the motorcycle boy’s brother. He as many teenagers in this world he could live or appear in the street without being wounded because of the fame of his brother. In some aspects he was always being care of his brother. Even when he wasn’t close to him

The Motorcycle Boy: he is the main character of the movie and probably the connection to the Earth of his brother. We can deduce his attitude, as a vindication that he had in California, where, he could saw his mother. Probably, his mother told him something that made him react.

Steve Hays: the good boy that was changed by his bad influences the “friends”. A very ordinary issue that, we can see nowadays in our society. I don’t think, he was a very important actor in the movie. I mean, they put him there just to fill the movie more.

Patty: the love of Rusty James!! Actually, she is not a big influence in this story, because we didn’t see any change in Rusty that we can say: ok! He changed his attitude in the name of the love that he has for Patty, nooo never!!

Cassandra: rather than Patty, she has an influence in the movie; probably we didn’t see her in many scenes. However, the way in how she continued with the kind of life that, the motorcycle boy had changed. This situation, Made him to have much willpower, in order to don’t do those things anymore.

Patterson: the police that killed the motorcycle boy!! I still think that he had personal problems with him. It is impossible that an ordinary police had to much hate against somebody. Even more, when, he presented a vindication in his acts.

Smokey: who was him??

Rusty's parents: the great image that teenagers may have!! What a life with those parents!! We must point out, the good relationship that the father has with his sons.

let's correct some mistakes!!

This is one of the posts that appear in Sebastian’s blog. Actually this is the only that has mistakes (not too many, but it has them)! The three mistakes are: two in spelling and the other is in the capitalization of a word (mistakes that everyone does).

correction:

I know he is one of your favourite musicians, no doubt about it! You even look like him as many people say. I remembered you when I was in central park, in front of the Dakota Building...

=D

blog's review

I like this blog because it is very simple (and I love simple things!) it is not full of links and chats and pictures, It has just the necessary!! And the best thing, it is that he has all the homework!! What is more, he has more words than the needed. He really enjoys writing in the computer.

I have found just one point against this blog: the colour’s combination probably is according to a man but what I don’t like is the colour of the writing. Because it impedes me to read well, even more, when somebody has sight problems like me!!

Despite of colour writing, it is still cool. And he has a lot of interesting post like the one related with Ronaldo and John Lennon. Not like the one about his favourite band, I am sorry but I hate that kind of music. Actually I can’t stand them!
