Straightedge blog





I’m reviewing Joako’s blog because I think is one of the most interesting blogs of the class. He always creates attractive post about the task’s question; however, Joako writes more than that. He talks in each post about himself and always makes the connection with the task

If you ask me, Joako is amazing. I think some bloggers have to be a little like him. I mean, I believe that when we write shouldn’t forget our essences and identities. Consequently; we ought to write with our style writing, feelings and thoughts.

In the Joako’s blogs we can fin 9 wonderful posts, one of them is about nirvana that has been the best grunge band. I think that is my favorite post, because I agree with Joako about music is art, and Nirvana is like a controversial piece of art.

When I read his blog I feel the straight power. Maybe, you are thinking that I’m crazy but straightedge ideology is present in his writing, you can feel it. Well….The blog is called “Straight Power”, that so Joako.


I think Joako should focus on more punctuation, sometimes he is disorganized when he writes. He could do some pauses above all when he changes of topic. I know that is so Joako, he is fast and that is funny. Nonetheless, in a formal text he has to improve in that. He ought to write and review in his posts slowly. I believe if he reads a lot, he will get a better writing than now.



"El blog del Deniel" experience

I really feel disappointed about my writing. I think the only one way to improve in that could be write every day whatever. In my blog I was feeling so comfortable; however, when you just get marks around four, you give up. In this moment I am totally demotivated, and I want this semester finish as fast as possible.

I have to admit that I haven’t commented on my blog’s classmates as I have to do, because I don’t have enough time in class. Besides, sincerely I dislike comment when the topic is boring.

I can’t say that blog was an useless experience, we improve and practice in each class. Maybe some of us don’t get good results, but at least we learn something. I sincerely believe that I would have done better comments on the blogs. Moreover, I should have spent more time in checking it.

irresponsible tendency

First, I need to express my feelings. I really love Beatriz´s classes; what’s more, I think is the most entertaining class of language 3. However, I have to recognize that I am not doing my best. I always try to do the activities, but sometimes I forget do the homework. Besides, when I do the activities sometimes I leave in my house. I know, is my responsibility.

I think this tendency is very share with young people, when I was in the school that situation used to happen. We are free, but some people are used to follow orders from the parents or leaders.

I remembered when I started studying I was so motivated, however; throughout the time I have been disappointed about some teachers and university’s infrastructure. I think is normal feeling demotivated, we started with a lot of energies but these have been disappeared.

I think I have two excellent teachers in this moment and with the other one I don’t have problems, because I understand the straightforward book. Maybe I can discuss about her style of make class, however; I know is my responsibility to be interested in the classes. So, I know the problem is mine I have not been practiced enough.

"Chile is the winner"

I was very excited because played Chile at 07:30 a.m. I was anxious and nervous. However, the match was so confortable in the first stage. I really didn´t enjoy the match because I was waiting for the second goal, and that anxiety avoid me to enjoy the rest of the game. In the second part, I suffered too much, a lot XD. Chile had the control of balloon, however; they couldn´t score, and you know our bad luck. In France world cup, we had terrible bad luck. We couldn’t win a game, we equalized in all matches. The rivals always drew level in the last time of the games, so I thought if Chile don´t score other goal, we can finish equalized. I was nervous for that, and I supposed most Chileans should be agonizing at the final of the game.

The strengths shown by Chile were his style of play and the players’ quality. They made an excellent game, however; they couldn’t control the anxiety and nervous at the moment of make a goal, that was his principal weakness. In my opinion all players made a good match, however; I would like to see a centre forward, for example: Suazo or Paredes. We needed a centre player in the area if Chile played with one of them we could make a big difference.

Ken Robinson

This character is a creativity person that tries to change the way of teaching. His main idea is cultivate creative thought in children.
“Schools kill creativity”. This sentence is very controversial, because it offends to educational system. I think is the harsh reality, Schools control the mind of students with a lot of things. The first one is with rules, the second with theory subjects and the last one with behaviorism thoughts. I’m going to focus in the last because for me is the most important.

Schools ban and impose ideas. They don’t make critical thinking. It is a big problem because Students can’t express; consequently, education is not important for them. If they don’t understand the subjects, they feel stressed and depressed. That shouldn’t happen, I think learning have to be a good experience.

Human beings have to face different situations throughout the life, and they need to be creative. For example: You can know a lot of English grammar, but if you don’t know how to do a class, you couldn´t be a good teacher. Maybe you can be an excellent speaker, but if you don’t have creativity and pedagogy, you don’t make an interesting class.
I believe that schools should promote creative thinking. We will the next generation of teachers, so we have to develop students´ creativity.

Orlan and Leonardo Da Vinci

I consider that she is an excellent and versatile artist, because she has done a lot of art works in different areas with a variety of concepts. I had never listened about her, well… I am not a fan of art .However, I admire her ideology, but I don’t prefer look her paintings and performances because they are very weird for me.

I think her performances are good because they make an impact in the capitalism life, I think her first exhibition about being paid to give kisses was a wonderful way to get attention of the people. It changed the life of Orlan, since that moment she has been doing a lot of strange things. I think performances, exhibitionism and narcissism are good qualities of an artist. I love performances, when I was a school student I made a lot of them. I don’t see anything wrong in that I think is art, because performances get attention and make impact in people. All artworks should make the same.

My favourite paintings are from Leonardo da Vinci. I can’t choose one but I admire the secrets in da Vinci’s drawings. If you look some paintings of him you can realize of details that make the differences between a normal and enigmatic work of art. For example, “Piero della Francesca” (http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivo:Piero_della_Francesca_045.jpg) in this art work some people say the clouds are similar to UFOs, I think things like that struck my attention. I’ve never seen the art of da Vinci in a museum but a chemistry teacher showed me a lot of paintings and He said unknown things about Leonardo Da Vinci.
