Tiempo de aprendizaje extendido

En este ao escolar, 2013-2014, la escuela secundaria James Monroe aadi una hora y quince minutos ms al horario normal. A este tiempo adicional se le llama Tiempo de aprendizaje extendido y durante ese perodo nosotros, los estudiantes, ampliamos nuestros conocimientos en general por medio de diferentes cursos o actividades. Escogimos tres opciones y nos trataron de acomodar en clases de acuerdo a ellas. Este tiempo extra en la escuela tiene ventajas y algunas desventajas tambin. Sin embargo, es de aclarar que esta es la visin que tenemos los estudiantes de la clase de Lectura y escritura en espaol y la presentamos a continuacin. Por un lado, las mayores ventajas que nosotros vemos en el tiempo de aprendizaje extendido se refieren a la parte acadmica y social. En el rea acadmica los estudiantes tenemos ms tiempo para ampliar y aprender nuevos conceptos. De igual manera, lo que aprendemos nuevo durante este tiempo lo podemos aplicar a otras clases y as nos preparamos mejor para el futuro. Hablando especficamente de la clase de Lectura y escritura en espaol nosotros hemos aprendido y reforzado la lectura y la comprensin. Esto quiere decir, que leemos, analizamos y entendemos lo ledo. En la escritura hemos aprendido de las tcnicas para escribir mejor y como las podamos aplicar en otras clases y en la vida en general. Una de estas actividades incluy la escritura del presente ensayo. Toda la clase particip y dio las ideas para la creacin y para la edicin. Tambin hemos aprendido cmo escribir hojas de vida (resum) lo que nos sirve para la admisin a la universidad o conseguir trabajo. Ahora, hablando de la parte social, tenemos que mencionar que en nuestra clase hay personas de diferentes pases: Puerto Rico, Cuba, la Repblica Dominicana y Colombia. Hemos tenido varias celebraciones donde hemos compartido y aprendido de las culturas de estos pases. Esa interaccin con nuevos compaeros y nuevas maestras ha hecho que nuestro mundo social se expanda. Por otro lado, nosotros decidimos mencionar tambin las cosas que vemos como desventajas al estar tanto tiempo en la escuela. Ahora que tenemos una jornada escolar ms larga nosotros tenemos menos tiempo libre para descansar y para hacer los quehaceres de la casa. Tampoco tenemos mucho tiempo en la casa para terminar asignaciones que no pudimos completar en la escuela. De igual manera, si mencionamos la alimentacin, tenemos que decir que muchos de los estudiantes tenemos el almuerzo muy temprano o algunos no comen nada durante el da en la escuela por la razn que sea. En consecuencia, al llegar la hora de la clase del 9 perodo, muchos de nosotros no tenemos la energa para hacer el trabajo escolar de este tiempo extra. Para concluir, el Tiempo de aprendizaje extendido tiene aspectos positivos tales como el mejoramiento acadmico; conocer, disfrutar y abrir la mente a otras culturas; ampliar el crculo social y divertimos. Sin embargo, si tuviramos una merienda esta jornada extra sera mucho ms productiva y agradable.

Extended Learning Time

This, 2013-2014 school year, James Monroe High School added an hour and fifteen minutes to the normal schedule. This additional time is called Extended Learning Time and during this period we, the students, expand our general knowledge through various courses or activities. We chose three options and the school tried to accommodate us accordingly. This extra time in school has advantages and some disadvantages as well. However, we have to make clear that this is the vision we, the students of Reading and Writing in Spanish class, have and it is presented below. On one hand, the biggest advantage we see in the extended learning time refers to academics and social. Regarding the academic side, students have more time to expand knowledge and to learn new concepts. In the same manner, we can apply the new knowledge learned during this time to other classes and so we become better prepared for the future. Speaking specifically about the class Reading and Writing in Spanish we have learned and reinforced reading and understanding. This means, we read, analyze and understand what was read. In writing we have learned 282 Hollenbeck Street Rochester, NY 14621 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 26352 Rochester, NY 14626 585-301-4199 ph. 1-888-792-9303 Toll-free 1-888-796-6292 fx. E-mail: info@RochesterLaVoz.com www.rochesterlavoz.com techniques to write better and how we can apply this in other classes and in life in general. One of these activities included the writing of this essay. The whole class participated and gave ideas for the creation and editing. We have also learned how to write resumes for college admissions and to apply for jobs. Now, talking about the social side of the Extended Learning Time, we have to mention that in our class we have people from different countries: Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Colombia. We have had several events where we have shared and learned from the cultures of these countries. This interaction with new classmates and new teachers has helped to expand our social life. On the other hand, we decided to mention the things we see as disadvantages of having a longer day at school. Now that our time at school has been extended we have less free time to rest and to do housework; nor do we have much time at home to complete assignments that we could not finish at school. Similarly, if we mention food, we have to say that many students have

their lunch early or some of them, for whatever reason, do not eat anything during the day. In consequence, when it is time for the 9th period class, many of us do not have the energy to work. In conclusion, extended learning time has positive aspects such as academic improvement; getting to know, enjoy and open our minds to other cultures

and expand our social circle and to have fun. However, if we had a snack this extra time would be much more productive and enjoyable.

There are anywhere between 150,000 to 160,000 residents living in the Rochester area who are considered having Limited English Proficiency or LEP. As a result, Monroe Community College (MCC) has partnered with the New York State chapter of the International Medical Interpreters Association (IMIA) and Raland Transportation LLC to not only bridge the gap between cultures and their languages, but to also provide jobs in a fast growing career field through a 48-hour certificate program centered on medical interpreting training. Olga Chmilar, managing director of Raland Translation LLC, said Raland Translation works with the largest medical providers and private practices of health care in Rochester. As a service provider of translation and interpretation services, Raland provides health care providers with the most highly-qualified medical interpreters, she stated. Raland has employed several students who have completed the medical interpreting training, Chmilar stated. Thats why the medical interpreting training offered through MCC is so important, because the most important thing is that they need to be medicalinterpreting trained so they understand specific codes of ethics, standards of practice and the role boundaries, rather than a bilingual person who comes in trying to help, and does more damage because they dont understand their boundaries as a medical interpreter.

MCC is about making partnerships and opportunities for the students who are looking to round out their resumes and make themselves more marketable, said Charles Caples, program director of Workforce Development at MCC.

Pero millones de chilenos han protestado en las calles en aos recientes y dicen que la riqueza del cobre debe usarse para reducir la desigualdad en el ingreso y en mejorar sustancialmente las escuelas pblicas. Bachelet gan 62% de los votos, derrotando fcilmente a su rival conservadora Evelyn Matthei, quien slo se llev 37% de los sufragios en la peor actuacin de la derecha en varias dcadas. contd on next page

1. Protect yourself from a silent killer. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is a product of incomplete burning of natural gas, propane, gasoline, coal or wood. It can result from a faulty chimney, ue or vent from a heating appliance or water heater. Have your heating system and chimney, ues and vents checked once a year by a professional. 2.

But voting became optional with the change, and only 5.5 million voted in the runoff - 41 percent. You can say that its the most decisive victory in eight decades, but the most important thing is that Bachelet got fewer votes than her four predecessors, including herself in 2006, Navia said. So the key here is that a majority of Chileans stayed at home, and there isnt really a big confidence vote for the reforms some people want to implement. Many Chileans complain that policies imposed by Gen. Augusto Pinochets 1973-90 dictatorship have kept wealth and power in few hands. Pinochet effectively ended land reform by selling off the nations water, and he preserved the best educations for elites by ending central control and funding of public schools.

LITERARY CAFE

cafecito literario y El Sueo del Celta de Mario Vargas Llosa

Este mes el libro llamado El Sueo del Celta fue el espacio literario que nos permiti escuchar, en la voz del escritor peruano Mario Vargas Llosa (nacido en 1936), DIANA CAsAIs la vida del Irlands Roger Casement (1862-1916). Un hombre famoso por denunciar los abusos del Colonialismo Europeo a los nativos del Congo Belga y la Amazonia peruana as como por su lucha militar a favor del nacionalismo irlands. El precio de su valenta lo convirti en vctima de grandes controversias que acabaron por llevarlo a la muerte. As fue como esta novela ganadora del premio Nobel de literatura (2010), nos exhorto a conocer y reflexionar acerca de la libertad. Para El Cafecito Literario, la novela nos ofreci la posibilidad de discutir fragmentos de la historia, que revelan aspectos interesantes de la naturaleza humana como los siguientes: Auto reflejo: Roger Casement al descubrir los abusos a los que eran sometidos los nativos del Congo Belga y la Amazonia peruana, pudo ver tambin que Irlanda su pas de origen tambin estaba bajo el dominio de esa Inglaterra admirada desde su infancia. Como consecuencia, tuvo que dejar atrs aquellas lealtades aprendidas en su infancia represiva. La importancia de las reglas normadas: Nos preguntamos, cules fueron los mviles que llevaron a un grupo de personas, aparentemente civilizadas a cometer actos de brutalidad tal como matar y mutilar a otras personas en desventaja social. Es acaso que la naturaleza humana al verse libre de reglas, tiende al abuso del poder y al salvajismo? Esto nos llev a recodar el libro de William Golding, llamado El Seor De Las Moscas, que trata de un grupo Civilizado, que al verse libre de reglas comete autnticos actos de brutalidad. La traicin: La traicin fue percibida desde diferentes puntos de vista. En un inicio el primer traidor fue Roger Casement al cuestionar el comportamiento de sus figuras de autoridad, al descubrir que los ingleses traicionaron los principios morales contra el ser humano y explotaran los recursos del Congo y el Amazonas. En una segunda etapa Roger Casement trata de defender la independencia de Irlanda, aunque sus compatriotas luchaban voluntariamente con el ejrcito britnico. Finalmente a Roger Casement sus amigos le dan la espalda y es ejecutado por los ingleses por traicin, sabotaje y espionaje. La homosexualidad como tab: Roger Casement, tambin fue exhibido pblicamente por la prensa por su homosexualidad y costumbres pederastas. La veracidad de este factor fue cuestionada por El Cafecito Literario, ya que algunas personas consideraron que el diario que utilizaron para difamarlo, poda haber sido falsificado para desacreditarlo con sus seguidores. Otras personas consideraron irrelevante sus inclinaciones sexuales. Sin embargo encontramos innegable que la sociedad se dej influenciar por ese tipo de prejuicios sociales

aun tratndose de alguien que haba demostrado estar a favor de la justicia. La valenta de ser: Roger Casement es descrito como un hroe que se atreve a vivir asumiendo su perspectiva de la vida aun con las discrepancias sociales.

He was had admired since his childhood. As a a man famous for denouncing the For the Literary Caf, the novel offered consequence, he had to leave behind abuses of European colonialism done us the possibility to discuss fragments those loyalties that he had learned to the natives in the Belgian Congo of the story that reveal interesting during his repressive youth. and the Peruvian Amazon region as aspects of human nature like the well as for his struggle on behalf of following: The Importance of norms and rules: Irish nationalism. The price of his We asked ourselves, what were the motives that made a group of people who were apparently civilized to carry out acts of brutality such as killing AUTO mutilating groups of other people & COLLISION and who were at a social disadvantage? Is it possible that human nature allows Expert Collision Repair on ALL MAKES them, upon seeing themselves free BRING YOUR AUTO INSURANCE CLAIM from social rules, to drift toward abuse AND I WILL SAVE YOU MONEY! of power and savagery? This led us to recall the novel by William Golding, The Lord of the Flies, that is about DONT LET THE INSURANCE a civilized group of people who, COMPANY DICATATE WHERE upon seeing themselves free from TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE social constraints, commit true acts of REPAIRED ... brutality. authority figures, as he discovered that the English had betrayed their moral principals against human beings and exploited the resources of the Congo and the Peruvian Amazon. In a second phase, he tries to defend the independence of Ireland although his compatriots voluntarily fought in the British army. Finally, Roger Casements friends turn their backs on him and he is executed by the English for treason, sabotage and espionage. Homosexuality as a taboo: Roger Casement was also publicly shown to be a homosexual by the press and for his habits of pederasty. The veracity of this was questioned by the members of the Literary Caf, since some people considered that the diary they used was perhaps used to defame him, and it could have been used to discredit him among his followers. Other people considered his sexual inclinations to be irrelevant. Nevertheless, we found it to be undeniable that society allowed itself to be influenced by this type of social prejudice, even when it was about someone who had shown himself to be on the side of justice. The courage to be: Roger Casement is described as being a hero who dared to live assuming his perspective on life even with social discrepancies.

Qu es la diabetes?
Hay dos tipos de diabetes, la tipo 1 y la tipo 2. La diabetes tipo 1, conocida como la diabetes juvenil, o c u r r e EDY sANZO en nios y jvenes. El pncreas es un rgano que produce una hormona llamada insulina. Cuando la persona come, los alimentos son digeridos, son convertidos en azcares o glucosa y van a la sangre. La insulina, se encarga de mover esa azcar o glucosa de la sangre a las clulas del cuerpo en forma de energa. Cuando el pncreas no produce insulina, la persona tiene que inyectarse la insulina. La diabetes tipo 2 es la que ocurre la mayora de las veces en las personas mayores de 40 aos. Aunque en los ltimos aos se est viendo una alta incidencia en las personas jvenes y nios por la falta de ejercicio y el sobrepeso. En el caso de la diabetes tipo 2 el pncreas produce insulina, pero no lo suficiente o el cuerpo evita que la insulina que se produce funcione bien. Algunas personas debern inyectarse insulina; otras debern tomar pldoras que le ayudarn a que el pncreas produzca ms insulina, haciendo que el azcar de los alimentos entre ms lento a la sangre, o que el cuerpo sea ms sensible a la insulina.

There are two types of diabetes, type one and type two. Type one diabetes, known as juvenile diabetes, occurs in children and young people. The pancreas is an organ that produces a hormone known as insuline. When a person eats, food is digested and converted into sugars or glucose that go to the blood. Insuline is in charge of moving that sugar or glucose to the bodys cells in the form of energy. When the body does not produce insuline, a person must inject insuline into his or her body. Type two diabetes is the kind that usually occurs in people over forty years old, although in recent years we are seeing higher numbers of this type in younger people due to a lack of exercise and more people being overweight. In type two diabetes, the pancreas produces insuline, but not enough, or the body does not allow the insuline to work well. Some people have to inject themselves with insuline; others have to take pills to help stimulate the creation of insuline by the pancreas, making the sugar from foods enter the bloodstream more slowly, or making the body more sensitive to insuline. Some people can also control their diabetes with diet and exercise. It is important to recognize what are some of the warning signs of diabetes. If you or someone you know exhibits some of the following symptoms, it could be a sign of diabetes: Doctors recommend that the level should be less than 7%, as it reduces the risks of complications from diabetes. The sugar or glucose level in the blood should be between 70 and 130 mg/dl before eating and approximately 180 mg/dl two hours after eating.
