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:

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.
