Writing ... childhood recollections

    My favorite childhood memory that sticks out in my head was my dad taking me to see Star Wars when I was six years old. It is the first movie I remember going to see though I don't think it was my first. I remember being transported into this fascinating world and when Luke rescued Leah the audience cheered and applauded. It was so much fun I expected every movie to be like that. Of course it wasn't though I've been a movie buff and especially a science fiction fan ever since (MARK)

--------------------------------------------

    My most cherished childhood memory was learning how to read. It wasn't easy but once I did I had that skill for life and nobody could take it away from me. I especially love reading Curious George. Those books really bring a smile to my face. .. that monkey going on all sorts of adventures. I remember one book where he used newspaper to make a special boat that he went in with the man with yellow hat. Pretty funny that is what I remember from my childhood. (PHILIP)

Looking at a painting (UNIT1B)

Hello everyone,
Today we are going to analize the picture by Goya seen in class a bit further...

One of the most famous Goya paintings -- and a splendid example of how art paintings capture history - is his Family of Charles IV.  When Francisco Goya (1746 - 1828) created this masterpiece, he was 54, had been deaf for seven years, and had recently been appointed first painter to the Spanish king, Charles IV...

Watch the video and take notes about the comments the speakers make about it.





Next day in class, some of you will tell all you can remember about this painting.:-).
