Centuries ago a great king lived and fought in Britain. The story of this king is one of the world's most favorite legends. This time we're learning about the adventurous world of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.


1. What is a legend?


A legend is a very old story or set of stories from ancient time. It's a narrative that people tell as a true story. Sometimes the details are difficult to confirm, but usually the story names people and identifies locations. The person telling the story, usally their heard it from someone who knows someone who heard it from someone who was really there... They often involve supernatural or religious elements.




2. Was King Arthur only legend?

We don't have a lot of proves that this story its real, but we've papers, writings, books... Of the olds times that say there was a King, with a similar life, like the King Arthur legend.

3. What is a knight?

a man given a rank of honor by a British king or queen because of his special achievements, and who has the right to be called 'Sir', or (in the past) a man of high social position trained to fight as a soldier on a horse.




THE STORY

A. CHOOSE A CHARACTER: Merlin, Lancelot, Lady Guinevere..
explain the story

Hello ,my name is Lancelot. I was a vagabond and skilled swordsman, dueling in small villages for money. I didn't have family, my parents died during a war when I was really young. This is why I don't care, and I'm not scared of the death. One day I was dueling in a town, when Malagant, and his soldiers came and they started to kill the people.


I was in the forest while I saw that they wanted to kidnap Lady Guinevere's. I protected her and after that I went to Leonesse, where the King Arthur offered me to be a member of the round table: a Knight.


One day I was in my bedroom, and I saw someone kidnap the princess with a boat, I went and followed them, through the fores. After riding the horse for a long time I saw pieces of the princess dress, and I could arrive to the cave where they hide Lady Guinevere's. I found her, and we could get out of there and return to the castle without more damage.

In her room we kissed me but in that moment the King entered into the room and he saw us.

He was really angry. We were in the square of the town, when Malagant irrupted. He started killing people, and he killed the King too. Before he died, he forgave us. He let me marry Lady Guinevere's and invited me to be the new King of Leonesse.

PART 2: THE SONG: GANSGTA'S PARADISE
WHAT'S THE SONG ABOUT?
The song is about the people have been spending most their lives, living in Gansgta's paradise.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize nothing’s left
Cause I’ve been blasting and laughing so long that even
My mama thinks my minds gone but I ain’t never crossed
A man that didn’t deserve it.
Me be treated like a punk, you never unheard of
You better watch how you’re talking and where you’re walking
Or you and your homies might lined the chalked

I really hate the trip but I gotta loc
As the croak I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool! I’m the kinda g that little homies wanna be like
All my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the street light..

( chorus )
Been spending most of our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise (x2)
Keep spending most of our lives living in the gangsta’s paradise (x2)

Look at the situation, they got me facing
I can never live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
I’m a educated fool with money on my mind
Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I’m a loc’d gangsta set trippin banger
And my homies is down so don’t arouse my anger
Fool! death ain’t nothing but a heartbeat away
I’m living life, do or die what can I say
I’m twenty-three now , will I ever see twenty-four
The way things are going I don’t know

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me
( chorus )

Power in the money , money in the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybodys running but half ain’t looking
What’s going on in the kitchen but don’t know what’s cookin’
They say I gotta learn but nobody’s here to teach me
I guess they can’t , I guess they won’t , I guess they fornt
That’s why my life is outta love fool !

(chorus )
Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me ( x2 )

Clàudia: OK







PART 4: WRITING:GIVING YOUR OPINION
30% students in Catalonia don't get ESO Certificate.
Is our educational system being effective enough?
Are students working hard enough?
Are parents helping in the educational process?
What's the average in your class?
Where's the problem? have you got any suggestions?

Well the people who want to graduate certificate works hart to get it. But there're a lot of people who go to the school because in my country, it's compulsory to go to school for everyone until you're 16 years old. After that when you're sixteen you choos about if you want to follow or leave the studies. And a lot of young people got to the school and don't do anything. They don't get the graduate. In that case I think that schools have to be harder.

Some parents don't help, give support or encourage enough their sons and daughters to follow their studies, and get good marks, and finally get the graduate of EO.

The average of my class is very high I think. THe people work and do their homework maybe the averge is a 7.5.

We're very yound and se have a lot of things to do like chatting with friends, practise soprts... And sometimes we don't care about our studies, but now its very difficult to find some job after getting the graduate. We must give al for graduating and after that going to Universiti and finally have a great laboral future.

Writing of crash




STEP 4: WRITING THE STORY

Choose 1 story IN THE FILM and write a summary in the CRASH WIKI

I'll write the story of Cameron and Christine Thayer.



Tom: at the begun he was very racist, rude, and a bad person, but afterward he changed and was really good person, friendly and he help the other people.
John: was really sad for what did the Tom.
Cameron: was rude, he only cared about him...
Christine: she was rude with the Tom in the control police, she was afraid and a good person, but she was very upset when his partner Cameron didn't help her.


Cameron and Christine were in their way home after had meal in a restaurant. Tom and John two police mans stoped the car for made a control and Tom asked the car license to Cameron. Afterwards the police
Tom check Cameron

director Cameron Thayer and his wife Christine, for make a car control because they were following a person who make a carjacker, the police ask the car license to Cameron and after John check them but Christine
is argumentative.
An angry Ryan sexually molests Christine under the pretense of administering a pat-down. Intimidated, Cameron says nothing. After the couple when they return home they argue about what did the police to Christine and why he didn't say anything at the respect!

The next day when Cameron is recording the film in the studio, Christine visited him again for forgive with him but they argue again... When she was in her way home she had a bad car accident, she couldn't got out the car... Tom was in the same road and saw the accident, he got inside the car for help the woman, and when she saw was the same policeman who sexually molest her yesterday she wanted to be helped for him... But afterwards he was a hero because he could got she out the car...

At the beginning of the scence the Tom was a bite racist because he only stoped the car of the couple because they are a black family...

Cameron was very rude, at the moment when Tom said to him to check him and when he asked for the car license, one of the facts I think of the reason he was rude is because he felt the police was racist with them... Christine was very angry when the police wanted to revise the car and she insulted him, but she also felt very molest and was very upset when Tom sexually molested her under the pretense of administering a pat-down.

Yes I think Tom change for good, he helped Christine and saved her life.

One of my favorites films

This is one of my favorite films of Justin Bieber. I think its a great film because you can see all about his live, how he became famous, all the problems he had at the beginning of his career and there you can feel be a famous person its not easy! Also there are some concerts of the first tour he made the last year in the USA and Canada. And when he sold out all the tickets of Madison Square Garden only in 22 minuts!!!! That's increible! This is the reason them put this name Never Say Never on the flim!
