News Magazine A magazine that is not

I still find myself messing with some stuff during class time is not enough time to look carefully. When you're short on time, youtube and facebook you think the invention of invention (not going to stop me now, it's just a "say") and what the new technologies is the immediacy and what is now again expired tomorrow. That feeling well I have it with my students who, as I think I have said before, everything that happens is 10 years old ... But even now I do not mess with that, I wanted to give another example to make a presentation, this time of documents: Issuu. Come on, surely this is already expired and I so happy here. The document appears finally as a book, ready to go through the pages that magazine.

I used the notes I give my students in the course of cinema. They are PDF's that I put in moodle, the intention is to take a look at the theoretical part of the relevant item in this case are short and documentaries.

Prezi magazine came into my life

If you love me to use power point in most of my classes, as a guide, as a basis for a contest to give solutions to the exercises, to present schemes of grammar, to make games ... now (better late never), I discovered Prezi. Prezi is another application that makes transitions between concepts, slides, photos ... whatever you want based on zooms. If you see at a glance is a little dizzying, but when doing a presentation takes a little screen pass, right?. I made my first test, do more: D! and here I leave you to give you an idea.

A film course

spent another half with no time to write a blog post, now having spent the semester, we deliver notes, meetings and more meetings did and we met again ... now I will have something that was done during the semester, such as a cinema course.

I love movies. As an accomplished amateur movies whenever I can and as a teacher I also try to bring the film into the classroom whenever I can. Currently the features of the courses that I have (3 hours per week) do not give a little more to include a scene and make the resulting didactic exploitation. But this semester I taught a course on film as well, so, as is, cinema, not language general, no, film, and there I explayao to 'what I wanted. I just got me wrong, but ... HOURS THAT HE ATE!

I tell you a little Course features:
- Course on "English film" but given in English, open to the entire university, not only to English students
- 3 hours per week for 14 weeks. Screening of the film out of those 3 hours of lessons
- 3 hours spread over 1 hour of presentation (Tuesday) + screening of the film. 2 hours of discussion, debate, presentation of topics related to film and film language
- One movie per week (except first being the presentation)
- Students who mostly (28 students in total) are looking for complete credits

The list of films are made and remade hundreds and hundreds of times, until finally I put those in the power point. The selection of films took into account the following criteria:
- English subtitles
- "found" in the university library, that students have access to them easily (luckily the university has a comprehensive film library )
- The more you cover English-speaking countries, the better
- Variety
topic - If possible, produced in the last 20 years

The result I think has been very positive. Although I leave here some comments me and my students that I found somewhat surprising:
- Some have found it hard to see a movie every week
- Many do not know Casablanca, Hitchcock and The Godfather ... to give an example.
- have had to make group presentations of films and the research and presentation of various topics and issues covered by each film has been more than covered. I am pleasantly surprised.
- have participated actively in discussions and we even tried to not only find the differences that separate cultures, but also what is what unites us and surprisingly there are.
- I think they have learned to look a little closer at the cinema in a city where all major project rooms and American blockbusters leaves little room for small producers.

I leave here syllabus and PowerPoint the last day of class where they explained each title to see why we had seen this or that movie, where they discussed what had attracted attention and explained what film meant to them. FIN

is Sexus the book of the next literary circle, which I have to make.

On the act of writing: (Pages 15-16)

(...) A man writes to expel all the poison that has accumulated because of his false life fastened. Try to gain back his innocence, and yet, all I get is to inoculate the world with the virus of his disillusionment. No man would have written word, if I had the courage to live what he believes. His inspiration is diverted at source. If you want to create is a world of truth, beauty and magic, why postpone the action ... unless, like other men, what you want is power, fame, success? "Books are human actions in the death," said Balzac. And yet, despite having seen the truth, the angel delivered the demon possessed him.
(...) The real great writer does not write like that the world is a place where you can live the life of the imagination.
(...) The best writing is not itself the task of putting word after word, brick by brick, but the preliminary preparatory work to be done in silence, under any circumstances, as in dreams awake.
