CRINOIDS

Crinoids, also known as sea lilies or feather-stars, are marine animals that belong to the class Crinoidea of the echinoderms They live both in shallow water and in depths down to 6,000 meters. Crinoids are characterized by a mouth on the top surface that is surrounded by five or more arms. They feed by filtering small particles of food from the sea water with their feather like arms .Many juvenile crinoids usually have a stem used to attach themselves to a substrate and when adults they swim freely. There are only a few hundred known modern forms, but crinoids were much more numerous in the past. Some thicklimestone beds dating from the Paleozoic are entirely made up crinoid fragments.

We were supposed to have the class in the lab downstairs, but I´m afraid technology is sometimes unpredictable and, when most needed it decides to stop or break down. In fact ,this was what nearly happened to my poor nervous system. I´m awfully sorry for you and for my nerves...


NB2A/C
--Homework: Grammar, unit 8 about the contrast between the simple and the present continuous.
I forgot in group A to collect the description of a Botero´s painting on student´s book, page 112, so I´ll do it next Monday .
--Listening: related to unit 1 and very easy. I hope your mark will be very good.
--Song: the one we started on Tuesday titled “Ain´t got/ I´ve got” , not as easy as the listening because the second part was rather fast.
--Video: Student´s books on page 12 “At the airport”. You first thought it was awful, but working in groups made everything go smooth and everybody got the main ideas and some details of the story. You have to get used to watching videos to predict what´s going to happen and use your knowledge of the language to get the information required.
--Homework:workbook:section 1C ,pages 8 and 9 and page 12 with activities based on the video.

NI2E
--Homework: The compositions about Spanish Stereotypes were collected. Workbook, section 1B,pages 7 and 8 were checked paying special emphasis on vocabulary related to the cinema and the media:readio, press ,TV.Although it was supposed to be a review , we dealt with the topic in depth as I think it´s very likely to appear in the final examinations.
--Vocabulary and Speaking : Student´s book, page 145 with more practice about the media in general. A memory game by asking your classmate words from the activities.
--Speaking: Interview your classmate about TV and radio using the vocabulary worked in the previous activities.
--Listening: Bibi Khanim and the legend of the Muslim veil , a true-false activity with 10 statements.
--Video: to add insult to injury , my video in the class didn´t work either!.I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me . We carried on speaking as a whole class about your favourite TV programmes.
--Homework:Student´s book, page 14. a reading exercise with questions at the end of each paragraph.



Listen to the song and sing .No matter how badly you think you do it, you´ll never be worse than me.
