Problemas que os surgen a veces al estar ubicados en un IES: los viernes en época de exámenes suele estar cerrado por la tarde, al igual que algunos jueves previos a festivos.
TODOS:
La situación de la EOI de Lorca: Casi veinte años funcionando y sin centro propio. A la EOI de Caravaca ya le han concedido un centro y a nosotros no nos dan respuesta.
Los administrativos (Isabel) tienen de atención al público de mañana y los lunes y martes por la tarde.

4. ASOCIACIÓN DE ALUMNOS.
La EOI de Lorca tiene asociación de alumnos, ha estado unos años paralizada y queremos intentar que resurja. Las ventajas q puede tener que un centro tenga Asoc. de alumnos son: reivindicar cosas, organizar concursos para recaudar dinero y luego hacer alguna actividad …




5. CONTROL DE ASISTENCIA.
Está regulado en la resolución de abril de 2009.
Cuando lleguen al 30% de las faltas permitidas ( =19 faltas), perderán el derecho a la oficialidad.

6. SISTEMA DE EVALUACIÓN EN LAS EEOOII.
4 habilidades co, ce, po, pe. Se aprueba con el 50%. Cada destreza debe aprobarse de forma autónoma.
Las pruebas que hay:
- evaluación informativa de febrero
- convocatoria de junio
- convocatoria de septiembre
- PTEC (Pruebas Terminales Específicas de Certificación). Se realizan al final del ciclo y son uniformes en tiempo y forma en toda la región.
IMPORTANTE: hay un límite de permanencia por nivel. El tiempo de permanencia equivale al doble de los cursos que tenga el nivel, lo que implica q pueden estar un máximo de cuatro años en un nivel.

7. CORRESPONDENCIA ENTRE NIVELES.
Al finalizar en NB tendrían un nivel A2 del Marco Común europeo.
Al finalizar el NI: nivel B1 del Marco
Al finalizar el NA: nivel B2 del Marco
Las EOIs de toda España están luchando para que se reconozca hasta el nivel C1 del Marco en las Escuelas de Idiomas.
Al finalizar un nivel se les da un certificado que tienen que solicitar en la secretaria del centro.

8. PROGRAMACIONES POR DEPARTAMENTOS.
Las programaciones están incluidas en la Programación General Anual y ya las pueden consultar. Habrá una copia impresa en nuestras aulas o en reprografía con los contenidos de cada nivel para quien quiera consultarlas. También las pondremos en la web de la EOI de Lorca.


9. Normativa legal importante.
- RD 1629/2006: aspectos básicos del currículo
- Orden de 12 de mayo de 2008 por la que se regula la evaluación
- Resolución de abril de 2009: normas y sistema de acceso a las EOI, información relativa a renuncias, bajas y anulaciones. Esta resolución deberíais leerla todos vosotros, pues viene información MUY IMPORTANTE que debemos saber.

10. Viaje de estudios.
De momento hay 2 opciones: Edimburgo y Dublín. Las fechas serán del 29 de abril al 2 de mayo de 2010.

11. Ruegos y preguntas.
(Resumen)Las PROES -prácticas de refuerzo oral y escrito- no son obligatorias pero si recomendables. Se organizan por niveles rotativos y se complementa los temas desarrollados en clase. Son 1 práctica eficaz para los exámenes.
La biblioteca está disponible y cualquier profesor en horario de atención al alumno puede prestaros 1 libro.
Acordamos sondear a los alumnos para ver la posible respuesta ante la asociación y el viaje de estudios. Establecemos el mail como modo de contacto más inmediato (además del tablón de anuncios).
Cualquier delegado queda invitado a complementar/solicitar más info a través de los comentarios de esta entrada.
1 saludo y bienvenidos

the great pretender

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Pretending I'm doing well (ooh ooh)
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Adrift in a world of my own (ooh ooh)
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Ooh ooh yes I'm the great pretender (ooh ooh)
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Yeah ooh hoo
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown (ooh ooh)
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're
Pretending that you're still around

Classic Roast Turkey

This turkey is your basic no-fuss, delicious, standard turkey recipe you'll come back to again and again.
Ingredients

* 2 large yellow onions, cut in 1/2-inch rounds
* 10- to 12-pound turkey
* 4 to 5 cups stuffing
* 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut in thirds crosswise
* Coarse salt and ground black pepper

Cooking Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place onions, neck, and heart in bottom of roasting pan. Fold wing tips under bird and place turkey breast side up on top of onions.
2. Add stuffing to front and back cavities of turkey, making sure not to pack it tightly. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Add carrots around turkey.
3. After 2 hours, add 2 cups of water to the bottom of the roasting pan.
4. Roast about 3 hours, or until instant read thermometer in thickest part of thigh registers 170 degrees F. Let rest 1/2 hour before carving.
5. Gravy: Pour liquid from roasting pan into measuring cup. Discard onions, carrots, heart, and neck. Skim off fat from liquid and pour all but 1/4 cup back into roasting pan. For every 1/2 cup of liquid (what's in the pan and what is set aside as the reserved liquid) use 1 tablespoon flour. Stir that total amount of flour into the 1/4 cup of cooled, reserved liquid, and mix together well. (Note: You'll be stirring enough flour that is proportionate to all the existing liquid into that 1/4 cup of cooled liquid.) Heat the liquid in the roasting pan over medium heat, and slowly add the flour mixture to it, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too

Everlasting Love
Robert Knight
(Gason/Gayden)

Hearts go astray
Leaving hurt when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
Filled with regret
I come back begging you
Forgive, forget
Where's the love we once knew

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting Love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting Love
From the very start
Open up your heart
Be a lasting part of
Everlasting Love

Where life's really flows
No-one really knows
'Till someone's there to
Show the way to
Everlasting Love
Like the sun it shines
Endlessly it shines
You always will be mine
It's eternal love
Whenever loves are gone
Ours will be strong
We'd have our very own
Everlasting Love

Open up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting Love
Need you by my side
Girl to be my bride
You'll never be denied
Everlasting Love

This is the life: Amy McDonald

That's part of what we did on Wednesday. Think about the answer at the bottom for Monday.



Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you'regonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?

Make or Do

Muchos hispano-parlantes tienen dudas con respecto al uso de estos dos verbos cuya traducción básica es "hacer, realizar". Veamos...

1. Usamos DO cuando hablamos de una actividad sin mencionar exactamente cuál es:

- What's Marta doing?
¿Qué está haciendo Marta?
- Are you doing anything special tonight?
¿Van a hacer algo en especial está noche?

2. DO se usa a menudo cuando hablamos de un trabajo o una tarea específica. También se lo utiliza con la estructura DO + ING (ando, endo):

- Have you done your homework yet?
¿Ya has hecho tus deberes?
- It was a pleasure doing business with you.
Fue un placer hacer negocios contigo.
- Could you do some photocopying for me, please?
¿Podrias hacerme unas fotocopias, por favor?

3. Por lo general, MAKE tiene el significado de crear, fabricar o construir.

- We made a new design for the product based on suggestions.
Hicimos (Creamos) un nuevo diseño del producto basado en sugerencias.
- The company makes photographic equipment.
La empresa hace (fabrica) equipamiento fotográfico.

4. A menudo MAKE se usa con sustantivos relacionados con la conversación, los sonidos y los viajes:

CONVERSACION Y SONIDOS

make a complaint, make an enquiry, make a noise, make a remark
presentar un reclamo, hacer una consulta, hacer ruido, hacer un comentario

VIAJES

make a journey, make a trip, make a visit
hacer un traslado, hacer un viaje, hacer una visita
[JOURNEY: sólo desplazamiento de un lugar a otro; TRIP: incluye la estadía]

5. A veces MAKE y DO pueden ser intercambiables:

- They made an endurance test to the new Airbus double-decker.
Le realizaron una prueba de resistencia al nuevo Airbus doble-piso.
- They did an endurance test to the new Airbus double-decker.
Le realizaron una prueba de resistencia al nuevo Airbus doble-piso.

No obstante, existen muchas otras expresiones que no siguen las pautas o lineamientos arriba mencionados porque a veces su traducción al español no se corresponde con el verbo hacer. Por ello, es mejor memorizarlos o utilizar un diccionario cuando se tienen dudas.

Jamie Oliver has a feast planned for G20 leaders

Part of the script is below

Jamie Oliver will serve up a dinner for the G20 leaders which honours the best of British food.

The meal, prepared by young chefs from the his Fifteen restaurant, will begin with organic salmon from Shetland, served with samphire and sea kale, a selection of vegetables from Sussex, Surrey and Kent, and Irish soda bread.

For the main course, the celebrity chef will offer slow-roasted shoulder of lamb from the Elwy Valley in north Wales, with Jersey Royal potatoes, wild mushrooms and mint sauce.

Dessert will be the classic Bakewell tart and custard.

The vegetarian option will include a goat's cheese starter and lovage and potato dumplings for the main course.

Oliver said: "I'm very, very proud of my country and its food traditions and I know that the guests at Downing Street will be in for a real treat."

The chef's wife Jools is due to give birth to their third child imminently, but he is still planning to lead his team at Number 10. It is the third time he has cooked there.
