More about the CITY ... and not only

Your project --> by the end of this week all groups should have devised appropriate research questions - questions that are clear and simple and actually guide your process of 'discovery'.

In the meanwhile there is a wealth of interesting texts and poems that we can read and discuss. More food for thought :-)    Here is one I find really interesting: a crowded bus by John Cage.

At the same time we should not forget that some language work is needed. So this might be a good pretext to refresh our memories and do some exercises about the direct/indirect speech, with emphasis on the REPORTING VERBS. 
Here is the KEY.

The Importance of Being Earnest

I don't think this should be missed.
Still plenty of time to plan and arrange an outing together.

LISBON PLAYERS

Time to ask questions

MANIA OF DOUBT

All things unto me are queries

That from normalness depart,

And their ceaseless asking wearies

My heart.

Things are and seem, and nothing bears

The secret of the life it wears.

All things’ presence e’er is asking

Questions of disturbing pain

With dreadful hesitation tasking

My brain.

Discover the city

We've already started the new unit about the CITY, about Lisbon.

I hope you liked the texts we've read to start the unit. Believe me, they may not be easy to read at first but they are worth reading.

This is a short entry because if you click here you'll find not only the texts but also the 'flyer' that will guide you around Lisbon and will help you start the next project.

Read it before the field trip on Thursday. I hope it won't rain.
