Hemos visto en clase la película La Ola para terminar el primer tema de Valores Eticos de 4 ESO. Esta película se inspira en el experimento La Tercera Ola sobre el que os dejo esta información de la wikipedia.

La Tercera Ola fue un experimento para demostrar que incluso las sociedades libres y abiertas no son inmunes al atractivo de ideologías autoritarias y dictatoriales, realizado por el profesor de historia Ron Jones en el marco de su estudio sobre la Alemania nazi con alumnos de secundaria¹​²​ al convencer a sus estudiantes de que el movimiento eliminaría la democracia. El hecho de que la democracia enfatizara el individualismo se consideró un defecto de la democracia, y Jones hizo hincapié en ello a través de su lema "Fuerza mediante la disciplina, fuerza mediante la comunidad, fuerza a través de la acción, fuerza a través del orgullo".

El experimento se llevó a cabo en el Cubberley High School, un instituto de Palo Alto, California, durante la primera semana de abril de 1967.³​ Jones, al no poder explicar a sus alumnos por qué los ciudadanos alemanes, especialmente los no judíos permitieron que el partido nazi exterminara a millones de judíos y otros llamados "indeseables", decidió mostrárselo. Jones escribió que comenzó con cosas simples, como la disciplina en el salón de clases, y que logró convertir a su clase de historia en un grupo con un gran sentido de la causa.⁴​

Jones llamó al movimiento "La Tercera Ola", debido a la noción popular de que la tercera de una serie de olas en el mar es siempre la más fuerte.⁴​ Al parecer, el experimento cobró vida propia, cuando alumnos de toda la escuela se unieron a él.⁴​

En el enlace de abajo os dejo la ficha para hacer el trabajo.

las fechas de entrega serán:

Summary:

Liesel Meminger is only nine years old when she is taken to live with a foster family, the Hubermanns, on Himmel Street in Molching, Germany, in the late 1930s. She arrives with few possessions, but among them is The Grave Digger’s Handbook-a book that she stole from her brother’s burial place. During the years that Liesel lives with the Hubermanns, Hitler becomes more powerful, life on Himmel Street becomes more fearful, and Liesel becomes a full-fledged book thief. She rescues books from Nazi book-burnings and steals from the library of the mayor. Liesel is illiterate when she steals her first book, but Hans Hubermann uses her prized books to teach her to read. This is a story of courage, friendship, love, survival, death, and grief. This is Liesel’s life on Himmel Street, told from Death’s point of view.

QUESTIONS:

1- Write a one paragraph description of one of the following characters in this movie: Liesel, Hans, Rosa and Rudy.

2- The central question asked here (which has been asked in countless other great works of literature) is how human beings have been capable of such brutality and also have

transcended suffering with acts of extraordinary love and courage.  The film presents the issue of how humans can do the most appalling and beautiful things. Write a paragraph explaining how this point is presented in the story. Give some examples.

 3- The Nazy party used propaganda, including Hitler´s autobiographical manifesto, Mein Kampf (My Struggle), to acquire and maintain control over German society. How is this point shown in the film?

4- What does Hans (Papa) encourage her to read? What role does his unusual dictionary play in Liesel’s learning?

5- Liesel comes to realize that words can be used for good as well as for evil. How have words been used these opposite ways in the film?

6- How do we find beauty during hard times? How does Liesel find beauty? How does this affect her happiness despite such hard times? Can beauty and happiness always be found?

OPTIONAL

 -Liesel´s love of books transform her life and the lives of those around her. What books or films have inspired you- or at least impacted your life in a significant way? Give some examples.

Optional Activity Ethics 4º ESO.

Regarding The Holocaust, we can read the following words:

"The things I saw beggar description...The visual evidence and the verbal testimonyof starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering...I  made the visit deliberately in order to be in a position to give firsthand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations to propaganda." D. Eisenhower.

These words are carved into the wall at the entrance of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washinton. D.C.

Activity:
- look for the meaning of the words you don´t know.
- visit the  Memorial Museum web site and choose one of the personal stories. Write down the story and give it to me in a separate piece of paper.

The Pacific Garbage Patch

During this term, we have done the Pacific Garbage Patch reading. An interesting article about this topic was published last week. It is focused on a young man who wants to solve this pollution problem.

Boyan Slat is a 20 year-old man on a mission: to rid the world¨s oceans of floating plastic. He has dedicated his teenage years trying to find a way to collect the plastic from the osean and to dispose of it safely.

Look for more information to complete this story. You can give it to me in a separate piece of paper.

 Surf the web!!

Ethics 4º ESO Optional task

We are working on the first unit which is focused on human beings. What are human beings? To introduce the topic, we are reading about the Second World War.
This is an optional activity about The Holocaust.


Speaking of his arrrival at Auschwitz, P. Levi said:

"It was bleak, at night, after travelling five days on a disastrous journey, during which the people in the car had died, arriving in a place where one did¨nt  Know the language or understand the purpose. There were sings that made no sense: a shower, a clean side...a dirty side and a clean side. No one explained anything. They spoke to us either in Yiddish or in Polish... and we didn´t understand. It was truly an alienating experience, there was an impression of complete madness, of having abandoned all posibility of reason. There was no reasoning anymore."

        Evening on Karl Joham Street. E. Munch


1  Read  Levis arrival description carefully and write down ten words to describe the way Levi might have felt stepping out onto the train platform that night.
2 What does "an alienating" experience mean?
You can leave me a comment with your answers.

This is England

This Is England: a portray of the transition between childhood and adulthood.

This is England is the story of a summertime school holiday.Those long weeks between terms where life-changing events can take place. It’s 1983 and school is out. Twelve-year-old Shaun is an isolated boy growing up in a grim coastal town, whose father has died fighting in the Falklands War.

Over the course of the summer holiday he finds male role models when those in the local skinhead scene take him in. With his new friends Shaun discovers a world of parties, first love and the joys of Dr Marten boots. Here he meets Combo, an older racist skinhead who has recently got out of prison. As Combo’s gang harass the local ethnic minorities, the course is set for a rite of passage that will hurl Shaun from innocence to experience.

(Filmeducation.org)



To understand the social background of the story you must pay attention to the opening sequence. It is important in representing the social, historical and cultural context of the film (the early 80's).

The sequence moves from trivial clips of Roland rat, Space Invaders -the first computer game- hairs styles of the the ‘new romantic’ group Duran Duran, the wedding of Charles and Diana, then this becomes increasingly serious with anti US air base protests, the miners strike, a National Front March, and race riots. The sequence ends with news clips from the Falklands/Malvinas war showing injured soldiers. Tory Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is a constant presence throughout.

Words that are underlined are relevant for the vocabulary of our last term.
Leave me your comments about the movie!

Globalisation videos. Citizenship unit 4

Unit 4: Globalisation. 

To understand what globalisation means, here we have some videos about it. 

Firstly, you must write down the advantages and disadvantages of this process in two different columns.

Secondly, you should listen to these videos carefully to get some ideas about our global world.

Ethics Unit 3 Activities. Our life path

 In this unit we are learning what ethics is.  One of the  ideas is the fact that we must always choose and, sometimes, we should cope with  hard situations called moral dilemmas.

We have read that even every little decision builds our life path.

Here, we have a speech by Steve Jobs in Stanford University. Listen to it carefully, copy and answer the questions below.

1 When did his life begin?

2 What does the first story teach us about our life?

3 The second story is about love and loss. What did he find and what did he lose?

4  What does "don't lose faith" mean? How can we be satisfied with our jobs?

6 Explain this expression using your own words : "Don't settle"

7 Regarding the last story, why does he say that Death is the single best invention on life?

8 What does he want to mean with the final sentence: Stay hungry, stay foolish.

Here is the same video with Spanish subtitles.

The unexamined life is not worth living. 4º ESO
