1.ca.3 LA SIRENA DEL QUART

LA SIRENADELQUART

 

Contesta en el quadern les següents preguntes sobre la lectura de “La sirena del quart”. S’han d’entregar el proper divendres, dia 30.

 

1)      Relaciona les sirenes mitològiques amb les de les ambulàncies o bombers

2)      El manatí és un mamífer sireni. Quina forma deu tenir aquest animal?

3)      Millora aquesta frase del text canviant només una paraula:

Jo ja no la sentiré quan arribi o quan se’n vagi, ni la podré espiar des de l’espiell de la porta aguantant-me la respiració.

4)      Comentàrem que l’autora vol destacar l’amabilitat del personatge. Digues de quina manera intenta minimitzar la part negativa d’aquesta frase:

En Pep del quiosc diu, amb un punt de tristor, que ja es veia venir.

5)      Cerca en el text una frase en la qual la paraula “mar” no és sinònim d’oceà, sinó que té un altre significat.

6)      A quina hora surt la sirena de ca seva?

7)      La clau que obri la casa de la sirena no és metàl·lica. De quin material és? Si fos de fusta, per exemple, tendria el mateix efecte poètic?

8)      Quan parla de la bellesa de la sirena utilitza una hipèrbole. Quina?

9)      Quina frase ens parla d’una festa d’aniversari?

10)  Cada escaló sembla que entoni la tecla d’un tímid piano. Escriu una altra metàfora on passi una cosa semblant amb un altre instrument musical. Per exemple: Els ocells descansen sobre els fils elèctrics com si tocassin la guitarra.

11)  En el text es parla d’escates lluents. Quin és el femení de “lluent”? Com ho podem saber a través del diccionari?

12)  En dues ocasions el protagonista ens parla del seu insomni. Copia les frases on ho explica.

13)  Quan la sirena davalla l’escala, l’autora diu que ressona, repica, toca el piano. En canvi,  en pujar, de quina manera diu que sembla que ho fa?

14)                       En el tercer paràgraf es diu que es noten uns cops molt suaus. Més endavant diu que vaig sentir tocs suaus. Selecciona el millor sinònim de “suau” per evitar repetir aquest ajectiu. Fi, llis, tou, mòrbid, benigne, dolç, agradable, delicat, tènue, amorós, manyac, dòcil, mans, plàcid, tranquil.

15)  La sirena és tan amable que, fins i tot quan sembla que s’enfadarà, no només no s’enfada sinó que somriu amb una dolçor extraordinària. Explica les diferents maneres de multiplicar l’amabilitat en aquesta frase.

16)  Posteriorment dirà que té un somriure transparent. Què creus que significa això? Ho relaciones amb la transparència del vidre de la clau? Quedaria bé ajuntar les dues frases i dir que la sirena “va somriure amb una dolçor transparent”?

17)  Escriu una única paraula que expressi la sensació que sents en llegir aquesta frase:

Que llarga se’m va fer l’espera mentre baixava les escales! El segon pis… el primer pis… l’entresòl… l’entrada…

18) Explica els dos significats que pot tenir aquesta frase i digues quin dels dos té en el text.

Em va faltar temps per sortir i recollir el que m’havia deixat.

19) En què compara el corall vermell?

20) Cerca una frase del text que ens dóna sensacions osmològiques. Recorda que l’osmologia és la ciència que estudia les olors.

21)  L’autora diu que el corall és “aquella pedra de mar”. Per què la professora de Ciències Naturals no estaria d’acord amb aquesta expressió.

22)  Quina sorpresa hi ha al final de la història?

2010/11. 1.en.1.welcome to your class blog

Dear students.

My name is María Loredo, you already know that, and this year I will be your English teacher and also your tutor. On top of that, I will be with Diana, your Science teacher one hour a week, which means that we are going to spend a lot of time together. I hope we’ll have a great time and that you’ll learn many things and also have fun.

Your language teachers, Emili, Bernat, and myself, will be working together on the same topic, preparing outings and collaborating on creating materials and activities for your group. Virtudes, the German teacher,  and Inés, the French teacher  will also join us in some occasions. After all, we are all language teachers, so it is only natural that we teach you the same things.

The first topic this year that will keep us working for a while is our city, Palma. We shall work on different aspects: signs, buildings, transport, shops, museums and problems that affect city life.  There will also be some outings that will be as important as our class work.

Apart from cities, this first term we shall be working on names. Names are like our presentation card. There’s a lot in a name, and we hope you’ll have fun playing with names a bit.

Finally, it is also important in these first weeks to learn how to present  homework, how to take notes and how to organize the information you get during lessons.  We’ll use some of the posts that we made for the former students of 1ESO E and some examples from their work. Maybe we’ll ask them to come to our class to explain to you how to do it.

This last week I was away working at the university entrance examination, PAU, so you had no English and had to read a book in English and write a summary. This week we’ll check what you did and we shall start with the topic of cities one week from now.

That is all for now, I will not make this post any longer. Welcome again and good luck in this new school year!

Maria

3.en.21 End of the year party and summer

Dear Students,

You must be enjoying summer  but maybe some of you have a look at the blog from time to time. I’m still waiting for some photos from the last day outing… Anyway, here you can see some pics. I wish you the best time  during  your vacation and I hope we’ll have a great time together next year!

Schöne Sommerferien!

Liebe Schüler und Schülerinnen,
ich wünsche euch schöne Sommerferien und einen guten Start ins nächste Schuljahr. Tschüs, Kinder!

3.en.20 News from Menorca

Dear students,

As promised, I’ve sent you some pictures from Menorca. Now, two questions for you,  let’s see if you can guess where the photos  were taken . Would you say the pics are from  Maó or from  Ciutadella?  Is the beach in the northern coast of the island or in the southern part?

I’ll give you a hint, for those of you who never visited Menorca, the very beautiful house “Can Saura” appears in the photos. Another hint, the coming celebration of San Joan takes place in this city.

As far as the beach… one of your classmates, the one who sits next to  Lukas in the back row, shares the name with this beautiful, unspoiled beach…

Who will be the first one to post the answers to the blog?

I’ll try to send you more pictures tomorrow.

I will also contribute to the final party next Monday with some delicious Menorcan cheese. You are doing pretty well with the organisation arrangements.

Behave! Maybe next year we’ll be able to organize a trip to Menorca  with the whole class. What do you think?
