<b>WORKSHEET</b><br />
Task 1.<br />
a. Read the title of the article and write down 10 words that you associate with it.<br />
b. Work in pairs. Compare your list with your partner.<br />
………………………………………………………………………………………………………<br />

Task 2.<br />
a. In pairs, read the article and discuss if any words from your lists were<br />
included in it.<br />
b. What information do you think is missing? Discuss with your partner.<br />
The artist’s eye<br />
It was 1937. Spain, Pablo Picasso's home country was suffering from<br />
a civil war, while he was living in Paris. On April 26th, the Spanish<br />
government sent planes to bombard a small village in northern Spain<br />
called Guernica. Guernica was completely destroyed. 1600 civilians were<br />
killed. A._____________<br />
Picasso was stunned by the photographs. He rushed<br />
to his studio, where he quickly sketched the first images for the mural he<br />
would call “Guernica”.<br />
The cubist painting by Picasso, called “Guernica”, is an immense black<br />
and white mural painted in oil. The mural depicts a scene of death,<br />
violence, brutality, and helplessness. It shows the suffering people and<br />
animals experience in the violence and chaos of a war. The overall scene is<br />
within a room. There are humans, animals and buildings in this scene but<br />
there seems to be no background. B.________ . On the right, there is<br />
another woman trapped in a burning building.<br />
The painting is very large: 349 x 776 cm. Despite its great size, it was<br />
painted in less than two months. Picasso was so angry about what had<br />
happened in Guernica that he wanted everybody to immediately take notice<br />
of the brutal event. All the figures in the painting seem to be crammed<br />
together and their mouths are open as though they are crying out.<br />
C_______ .<br />
D._______ The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as<br />
they understand them”. Even though opinions about the exact meaning of<br />
the images of the painting are numerous, there is no doubt that the<br />
painting sends a strong antiwar message, not only about what happened in<br />
Guernica but about the kind of suffering that takes place in any war.<br />
<br />
Task 3.<br />
Now, read the article in detail and put the missing paragraphs in place. Check<br />
your answers.<br />
1. On the left side of the painting we can see a mother holding her dead child.<br />
A wide-eyed bull stands over the woman. At the bottom lies a fallen soldier,<br />
still holding his broken sword from which a flower grows. In the centre<br />
above the soldier is a horse whose body is pierced with a spear.<br />
2. The next day, George Steer, a reporter working for The Times revealed the<br />
destruction. By May, news of the massacre at Guernica had reached Paris.<br />
Eyewitness reports filled the front pages of Paris papers.<br />
3. Some people criticized Picasso's cubist style because they could not<br />
understand his symbolism. Picasso answered his critics, “It isn’t up to the<br />
painter to define the symbols.<br />
4. We get the feeling that they can't get away from the horrors of war; they are<br />
trapped in their suffering.<br />
<br />
Task 4.<br />
a. Read the article again. Underline any unknown words. Try to guess their<br />
meaning from the context. As a class discuss the meanings of the words.<br />
b. In pairs, scan the text and find the words below. Then, match them to their<br />
definitions.<br />
1. immense a. slaughter<br />
2. massacre b. cruelty<br />
3. crammed c. stab and cut<br />
4. civilians d. overcrowded<br />
5. brutality e. huge<br />
6. helplessness f. citizens<br />
7. interpret g. defenselessness<br />
8. depicts h. wall painting<br />
9. pierce i. understand and explain<br />
10. mural j. shows<br />
<br />
Task 5.<br />
In groups of four, discuss:<br />
a. What made Picasso paint “Guernica”?<br />
b. Why do you think the painter chose to use only black and white?<br />
c. What message is the painter trying to send?<br />
d. Why did Picasso choose not to explain his symbolism?<br />
e. Which other forms of art do you think are effective in protesting against<br />
war?<br />
<br />
Task 6.<br />
Watch the video .<br />
What effect does the 3-D animation have?<br />
How does the musical background influence the viewer?<br />
<br />
HOMEWORK<br />
Work in Groups. Choose one of the following tasks.<br />
<br />
Task 7.<br />
Do some research. Find out more about Picasso and his life. Write his biography.<br />
Task 8.<br />
either<br />
a. You’re an art critic. Write a description of Guernica.<br />
or<br />
b. You were there! Imagine you were a survivor of the bombing in Guernica. Write<br />
about your experience<br />
Task 9.<br />
either<br />
a. Add to the painting! What else would you add to Picasso’s masterpiece?<br />
or<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Can we help our brains grow? What is a fixed and what a growth mindset? After having read, researched, discussed done questionnaires and come to serious conclusions about the power of the brain we managed to bring our brainpower together and create posters for the "Wall of Brain". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, we can (almost) all agree that the brain has the power to grow, change and help us succeed in anything we choose to do. It takes hard work and there is challenge and effort involved of course but it's all worth it in the end. The video below shows our work for the creation of Growth Brain Posters....</div>

Albert fired up the
machine. The engine blew hot air out of the grids and then started to make a
loud noise. The gate’s lights started blinking. It was powered up. The noises
became louder and louder by the second, until it reached a high pitched tone
that could pierce right through your brain. Then a lightning bolt appeared
inside the gate as the whole system shut down. Albert wrote on his computer:
“Interdimensional rift creating experiment, attempt 105 failed. More power
required”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
“Sweetheart,
please go to sleep. It’s 3 in the morning.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Albert looked at Gini standing on the stairs
with big, expressive brown eyes. Her red hair looked a lot more disheveled than
they normally did. Albert didn’t know if she had just been woken up by the sounds
of the machines or if she was waiting for him to come. Either way he was really
surprised to see her down in the basement. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
“Honey
I’m really close, I can feel it. All it needs is more power. If my calculations
are right it should take about…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
“All
you care about is your work. You don’t give me any attention anymore,” she
cried.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Albert hugged Gini as
her hot tears imbued his sweaty Star Wars T-shirt.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“That’s not true my love, he comforted
her. I am on the verge of an astonishing discovery that could change the world as we…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
“When will you realize that this isn’t your job anymore? The university
stopped funding your research weeks ago. And look at you now, Al! You are just
some loser in his basement trying to play God with stolen public equipment,”
Gini shouted.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Albert then, with a
face full surprise, sat on the armchair and put his face between his knees. His
wife approached him slowly as she oozed guilt.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
“Al,
I’m sorry I didn’t mean to…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
“You
think I do this for the money?” he shouted to her surprise.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
“You
think I do this for the fame? Of course not! I do this to unravel the mysteries
of the world, I do this to advance science and, last but not least, I do this
for me! And I will keep doing it until my last breath on this planet.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gini was speechless,
but after a few seconds she screamed at her husband:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
“Albert
Edward Stevenson, you are a crazy man,” she cried and slammed the door as she
left. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
“Little
does she know. Am I right Schrödinger?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Schrödinger meowed
once and then went back to sleep, as he always did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
“Little does
anybody know,” Albert moaned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And it was true.
Dozens of people had doubted him, or even called him a mad scientist in the
past. He recalls the times when the other kids at school used to call him a nerd
and bully him because of his interest in sciences. Although he had more of an
obsession rather than an interest in them. While other kids looked up to
actors, models or football stars he idolized Isaac Newton, Nikola Tesla and, of
course, Albert Einstein. All his life he had been teased about what he loved
but he had never given up on his dream. And then, one day, he was given an
opportunity to turn his dream into reality. A university would fund his
research on an interdimensional rift creating machine. But, after months
without results the university pulled the plug on his research. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
“Morons, he
mumbled, they gave financial support to the greatest scientific experiment of
all time and then decided to give up. Well I won’t.” Then silence filled the
room. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He would try for the
last time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Albert slowly pulled the lever.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The engine was on. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That was it. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The machine made a
loud noise.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That was the end. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The gate’s lights
started blinking.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The end of his research. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The noises became
louder and louder by the second.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The end of his dream. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then, instead of a
lightning bolt, a spinning, glowing white orb appeared in the middle of the
gate. Albert remained speechless. He had done it. He had finally done it. He
was the century’s greatest scientist! By that time the orb kept spinning at higher
and higher speeds until it flattened out into a glowing white disk and then
into a flat mirror. Or was it really a mirror?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Albert approached the
mirror with caution. The Albert inside the mirror did the same. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
“We
made it at last,” said the Albert inside the mirror.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle">
“We
truly did,” said Albert.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
“Now
it’s time for experiment number 2,” Albert from inside the mirror said as he
pulled a gun from his pants, “Can a superposition be possible?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Albert froze for a
moment. He couldn’t believe that after all this effort he would be killed by
himself. But he watched in terror as he observed the other Albert start crying
and pointing the weapon to his own head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst">
“For
science,” said the other Albert.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast">
“For
science,” said Albert. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lisa
had been excited for many a day before Saturday. Saturday was aunt Elisabeth’s
birthday. She was her favorite relative and the one whose name she had taken. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lisa
had persuaded her brother Michael to help her make a special card for the
occasion. They had spent a whole afternoon zealously occupied with the
construction of an intricate birthday card. To their eyes it was perfect. The
precious card was placed inside a red round box under Lisa’s bed, where she
kept everything of great importance to her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And
at last the day had come. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Are
you ready kids?” mum asked. Of course
they were, so astonishingly eager to leave. Aunt Elisabeth was apparently not
the kind of grumpy relative everybody hated! The family got into the car.
Everything was settled and the card was safe and sound in the back seat waiting
to be delivered to its rightful owner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lisa
finally relaxed. She didn’t know why, but the whole thing with the card had
made her really anxious the past few days. She was now incredibly relieved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">As
soon as the engine started, the day was bound to be a great success.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">They
arrived just in time, even though there was a rather severe traffic jam. After
a series of the usual hugs and kisses with long-lost relatives, the time had
come. When Lisa (… and her brother) offered the card to her aunt, she felt prouder
than ever. At that specific moment she believed that her whole life depended on
that little square piece of paper…And maybe it did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">…………………………………………………………………………….<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Hurry
kids! Aunt is waiting. We will not get there in time for the cake!” said mum
and it was clear her patience wouldn’t last for long. Dad was already in the
car and it was high time they left. Lisa pushed Michael in the back seat and
the engine purred.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">After
some minutes of awkward silence, Lisa decided to talk. “It’s all your fault!”
she accused her brother. “You were the one who was supposed to have held on to
the card,” he answered back equally hostile. “I know where I had put it.
Someone must have changed its place! When I opened the box I was sure I would
find it there…”<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The
argument lasted for over five minutes, with the explanation of the card’s disappearance
still shrouded in mystery. Hadn’t it been for that lost birthday card, and the
extensive searching it involved, they would have probably arrived at aunt’s
house by then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lisa
was devastated. All she wanted was to give that card to her aunt and receive
the usual praises. Michael always wanted to ruin her dreams, but he was too
cowardly to admit his responsibility!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">“Stop
fighting about nonsense! It’s not the end of the world!” Mum sighed. “Now
please, just be quiet! We’re almost there”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The
children weren’t pleased, as their dispute was getting rather passionate, but
decided not to pull their mother’s trigger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Lisa
gazed out of the window still frustrated. Even her mum had called the card
nonsense… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A
moment later everything turned upside down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The
witnesses claimed the car was running at extreme speed and that the driver hadn’t
been paying attention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Neill - Founder of Summerhill School (1964)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week's discussion topic was education. It all started with a brief introduction to Summerhill and its democratic views on educating children and continued with brainstorming and collecting ideas concerning the Greek educational system, its advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, we almost all agreed that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits and next week will try to suggest ways with which we might improve things (even if just in theory). On the Project Pages there are some very interesting ideas on the "Ideal School" as well as some research on other educational systems ("Education Abroad") all projects by ex-Anavryters. They are worth having a look at before we start working on our own projects...soon to be announced!</span><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Our project for the first term with Γ1 and Γ3 was natural disasters, tragedies, crimes, terrorist attacks and generally dire situations that the world has faced during the 20th and 21st centuries...<br />Our aim was to realise how lucky we are to live in a safe country that is not at war and finally see how fortunate we are to be alive, healthy and among people that love us and that we love. The aim was to be thankful for simple, everyday things and to appreciate the little joys in life.<br />Our projects are almost ready to be presented to the world (!) on the The Horror Page (on the right hand side) and will be enriched with more projects during the following weeks.<br />Unfortunately though it seems that our project idea will further be enriched by the horrific terrorist attack in Paris 13/11/2015 <a href="http:/#prayforparis" target="_blank">#prayforparis</a><br />It is important for us to underline the fact that it is not only the people who lost their lives in Paris that we must pray for, but for all the people that fall victims to terrorism, war and criminal acts. </h3>
