And Now I Disappear...

This is it; the current course is over; most of you have done a pretty good job, excellent I must say. But some of you haven't been so lucky at passing the subject. Anyway, keep on trying and work hard this summer to prepare for the September exam, I'm sure all of you will pass it.
I bet you've had enough of all this for now, that's why the title of this post says "Now I Disappear...". I'd dare to say that I escape, just as Houdini did.
Enjoy this song and dance all summer long, and whenever you feel bored you just have to click on the links I've been posting through the course to revise...

Post a comment in case you are still doubtful about any aspect you don't fully understand.

Banksy in the net -research project- ESO 2

Here we have the final result of the list the students proposed and rated as interesting as regards to Banksy and its graffitti universe:

       - Anna García (E2D) sent a link to Banksy's biography in Wikipedia:  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy
       - Ramón (E2D) found an interesting gallery in Banksy's official site:
www.banksy.co.uk/outdoors/horizontal_1.htm
       - Some more examples of Banksy's art found by Yaiza and Ainoa (E2D) and Nouri (E1A), who sent several examples of interesting galleries of images:

http://www.artespain.com/18-12-2009/arte-contemporaneo/grafittis-de-banksy
http://totallycoolpix.com/2010/12/banksy/
       - And finally, Carlos (E2B) found a very intriguing article about Banksy's identity found in a British newspaper:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1034538/Graffiti-artist-Banksy-unmasked---public-schoolboy-middle-class-suburbia.html

All these websites can go together with the one the teacher proposed and has been posted all the time:

I hope you enjoyed during your successful search and it helps you not only in our subject, but also in life. I'm extremely proud of your job guys!!

 

A good song as a reward

Thanks to all the students who have collaborated in the blog with comments and taking the voluntary activities so far,  I really appreciate it, indeed I do!

That's why I want to share with you one of the best songs of the moment, a song which shows the best of one of the best "americana music" groups. I hope it serves as a break, I hope you enjoy it; and even more interesting: I hope it helps you get a positive point for this third term (yes, another one!) by sending an approximate interpretation of what the song talks about to the comments section.

- Let me just remind you that (perhaps) the hardest part of the course is ahead, so don't relax and keep on working even harder, that's how good results will come.
