4º ESO students have made this work to commemorate the International Women’s Day. Women play an important role in Classical Music, but they have been frequently ignored. Our objective is to make them highly visible.
At the end of the first term, 1º ESO students performed different Christmas songs. They could choose the songs (they must be in English) and the classmates who they wanted to sing with. It was an enjoyable experience.
During all this week, our students will participate in some activities, organized by the Coeducation Department , which focus on one of the most terrible violations against human rights : violence against women. It is a worldwide problem which we must fight to eliminate as soon as possible and to become aware of this cruel situation, we have prepared for our students in the classes of English some files with information and stories which exemplify this matter. We will also watch some videos made by the United Nations which will also motivate students to talk and discuss about this subject, trying to find possible solutions.
Here , you can have a look at those files we are going to work with and some of the videos we are going to watch. We will finish these activities listening to a song by Sara Bareilles which tells us the story of a girl in this situation.
Finally, they checked what happened when they hit a tambourine next to a ping pong ball.
In this case, students were checking how string phones worked.
