As I told you in class (1st BTX) this is the poem that made me discover the wonders of poetry. When inspiration doesn't come, when words don't come out, read it, and hopefully you'll find the same joy I did.


Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,


That she (dear She) might take some pleasure of my pain:

Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,

Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain;

I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe,

Studying inventions fine, her wits to entertain:

Oft turning others' leaves, to see if thence would flow

Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sun-burned brain.

But words came halting forth, wanting Invention's stay,

Invention, Nature's child, fled step-dame Study's blows,

And others' feet still seemed but strangers in my way.

Thus, great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,

Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite--

"Fool," said my Muse to me, "look in thy heart and write."

I would like to thank you all for the fantastic job done last Friday, but above all, for those 2 weeks of intense work. From first of ESO to Batxillerat, all of you have shown great spirit, and that is why I say THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!!

Thank you ESO students for your classes, your dedication and illusion. Thank you for acting so well in the tunnel, and for your comprehension in a day that could have been a mess, but was a success.

Thank you soooooo much BATXILLERAT students for following me until the very end, and congratulations for that fantastic show. I'd like to give special thanks to Dani, Noemí, Andrea R., Laia, Kevin, Ivan, Arantxa, Andrea C., Anna and Esteban, because you didn't surrender when things didn't go right; to the tireless Alba and Aloma, who worked non-stop and created a ghostly atmosphere never seen before. To Leire, Alex and Mélanie, skilled artists in creating those outstanding tombstones and coffins. To Carmen, who surprised us all in the art of the violin. To you all, MANY MANY THANKS.

P.S.: If any inconvenience with the pics, just tell me and I'll remove them immediately.

Congratulations Giuliana!!!!!! you have answered the question in the voki very well!!!! The origin of the word Halloween is All Hallow's Eve. Extra positive for you.

Regarding "The 3 Musketeers", the question is still open. No, Josh, no Nicolás: "The man in the iron mask" is not a story by Alexander Dumas, it is just a story based upon "The 3 musketeers".

Come on! looking forward to your answers!!!

For those of you who want to know more about the classic of Alexander Dumas, feel free to watch this movie (you can watch the trailer here). By the way, one year after The 3 Musketeers, he published an extraordinary famous novel. Which one?

From now on, you have a miniature version of "Wordreference" in your blogs.

Please visit the school intranet. There you will find the reading books deadlines. Begin reading them!
