Nastic Movements

Look at the photos. Could you tell me which group of plants they belong to?

Here you have the scientific names (Nepenthes aristolochioides, Drosera tokaiensis, Nepenthes rajah, Drosera madagascariensis), try to put the correct name to each one.

Then, explain the main trapping mechanisms.

John Lennon

30 years ago, John Lennon was killed in New York. A great composer, a man of peace, Lennon is an icon of the 20th century culture. Have you ever listened to any of his songs? Maybe the one in the video is not new to you, but the message is still relevant today.



One question: Who is the person that appears next to Lennon in the video? Leave your comments and your answers here.

Wordle: Untitled


Can you identify 5 boys' names and 5 girls' names in the picture above?
Are they common English names? Check here the top 50 girl names in 2009,
and here the top 50 boy names in 2009.

And what about your name?
- Does it have a translation into English?
- If it does, is it in the list?
- Do you know the meaning of your name? Find out here and explain.
- Can you name a famous person with your first name?

In my case, Raphael is the English version of my name, although it is
not very popular in English-speaking countries. It is of Hebrew origin
and it means "God has healed". Perhaps, the most important person with
my name was the 16th century painter Raphael Sanzio, from Italy.

Flexibilizan el uso de la nueva Ortografía española


Este domingo en la Feria Internacional del Libro de Guadalajara (México), las 22 academias de la lengua española han determinado, por fin, que los cambios ortográficos propuestos a principios del mes de noviembre constituyen sólo una recomendación; por tanto, los usuarios del español no estamos en la obligación de utilizarlos.

¿Qué opinas a este respecto?

The internet and the powers

Imagine that you upload a picture on "tuenti". It's a funny one, about you and your best friend in a party. The next day, at school, you see that a lot of people are staring at you. Two days later you feel that a lot of poeple are doing the same on the streets, and you don't know why.

One of your friends on "tuenti" took the picture and sent it to five friends. You don't know who, you probably added him/her without even knowing his/her name.

They don't understand the actual meaning of the picture (two friends just having a good time), and they think that you were drunk. The next day each of the five friends send the picture to another five, and they do the same thing the following day and so on.

Watch this video before answering two questions.



  • What happens when you upload something on the internet?
  • How many new people will see your picture the day number... (answer with your list number)?
