Week 5

Talent Fair



 



This time we made a fair of talents in classes, this was a great idea since the classmates presented their skills to other persons, there were firefighters, confectioners, a companion to  henna tattoes, swimmer, Cook, martial arts, and many more. The importance of seeing all these skills is that we can make a difference with our own hands and that nothing prevents us to grow every day.

Example of Articles

 

The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is one of Antoni Gudi´s  most impressive Works. This enormous church, as  yet unfinished, is in some respects a summary of everything that Gaudi designed before. the architectural style of the Sagrada Familia has been called "warped Gothic", and it´s easy to see why.

 

 

 

CLASS WORK

 

 

In class we read an article of the biographies of charismatic people for example,  Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton, Mahatma Gandhi and others.
