URBE EFL Center meeting point: http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Mist/213/86/21

Meeting in british Council Isle point: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/British%20Council%20Isle/230/127/39
Well, now a litle info on the story behind the Quest:


Themes, events and characters of the Arthurian Legend
1. Arthur is a king of Britain who defeated the Saxons and established an empire over Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Norway and Gaul.
2. Characters related to King Arthur: Arthur's father Uther Pendragon, the wizard Merlin, Arthur's wife Guinevere, the sword Excalibur,
3. Arthur was born in Tintagel, his final battle was against Mordred at Camlann and his final rest is in Avalon.
4.  Lancelot and the Holy Grail and the Knights of the Round Table.
5. Arthurian literature thrived during the Middle Ages but waned in the centuries that followed until it experienced a major resurgence in the 19th century. In the 21st century, the legend lives on, not only in literature but also in adaptations for theatre, film, television, comics and other media.





Well, we'll tell you more about it..later-- Hope to see you all there!

And these are the photos of th eadventure...

WE are all Fireworks!!!!!!!

http://taggalaxy.de/


Baby, you're a firework!!!! Are you a firework?... mmmm. Let's see.. how are fireworks?.. what words would you use to describe a firework?.. During this week we discussed fireworks in class. We Googled the word and we got:
Fireworks are a class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display. A fireworks event (also called a fireworks show or pyrotechnics) is a display of the effects produced by firework devices. Fireworks competitions are also regularly held at a number of places. Fireworks (devices) take many forms to produce the four primary effects: noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example). They may be designed to burn with colored flames and sparks including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver. Displays are common throughout the world and are the focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations. (this was taken from wikipedia)
Well, in Venezuela as well as in the United States and many parts of the world, people love fireworks. You can see an aerial fireworks show at an amusement park, baseba­ll game, Fourth of July celebration (in the U.S.A) or on New Year's Eve. Fireworks have a special and beautiful magic all their own -- a good show is absolutely amazing.


After reading and discussing  about Fireworks we ended up with a list of words and phrases:

This is from wikipedia:
* aesthetic an entertainment purposes.
* fireworks display, fireworks event, fireworks show
* noise, light, smoke, and floating materials (confetti for example)
* burn with colored flames and sparks: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and silver 
* focal point of many cultural and religious celebrations.

These are student's adding to the list:
* Beautiful      * Interesting
* Happy          * Brilliant
* Shiny           * Sparky
* Warm           * Dazzling
* Amazing       * Surprising
* Inspiring        *fantastic 
*hopeful          *awesome
* Expensive     * Dangerous
* Noisy           * Explosive

If you want to see what all these words and expression mean, just press ALT + click on the right button of the mouse and you'll see the definition and have the chance to listen and practice the pronunciation of the word you are curious about. Like in the picture:


  Now, watch the following video by Katty Perry



Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting thought the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
......Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that tehre's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

After watching the video, reading the lyrics, singing and discussing about it : What's your take on it? Do you like it? yes? No?, why?... What did you like the most? what phrase do you like in it? ... What's the message? 

Teacher says... this video and song represents the spirit of this class... what does she mean? do you agree with it?. Well, write your answer here as a comment or post it in Facebook or in your blog... don't forget to share your post in Facebook or Twitter... to  #URBEEFL, #EFL, #ESL, #URBE

(Akon): Konvict music (oh yeah)

(Michael): Yeah
This life don't last forever

(Hold my hand)
We're better off being together
(Hold my hand)
Being miserable alone
(Hold my hand)

(Together):

So if you just hold my hand, baby, I promise that I'll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand
Nothing can come between us if you just hold, hold my, hold, hold my, hoold my hand, hold my hand.

Akon:
The nights are gettin' darker (darker)
(Hold my hand)
And there's no peace inside (inside)
(Hold my hand)
So why make our lives harder
(Hold my hand)
By fighting love tonight
(So hold...)

(Together):
Cause I been there before and you've been there before, But together we can be alright. (alright)
Cause when it gets dark and when it gets cold we hold Each other till we see the sunlight. (ooh yeah)

So if you just hold my hand, baby, I promise that I'll do all I can
Things will get better if you just hold my hand (yeah)
Nothing can come between us if you just hold, hold my, hold, hold my, hoold my hand, hold my hand.

Bridge:
I can tell that you're tired of being lonely (yeah)
Take my hand don't let go, baby, hold me (yeah)
Come to me and let me be your one and only (hold my hand)
Cause I can make it alright till the morning. (hold my hand)
