Active Student

Last week somebody wanted to know who the designer of “Puente de la Mujer“ in Puerto Madero (BA, Argentina) was. Some of the students in the group assumed Leo had that information; well, he didn’t. However, the following day he sent us an email enlightening our limited knowledge.

This is his email:

As I promised you, the designer of Puente de la Mujer in Puerto Madero
is Santiago Calatrava. He also has some paintings, sculptures and
ceramics…
more information at: www.calatrava.com

Regards,
Leo

Thanks a lot Leo, we know you keep your promises. (I guess nobody but me has thanked him.)

Another active student (much younger, but with a blogger profile) posted two short articles on Puerto Madero. You can have a look here and here.

I didn’t download this picture from Flickr this time. It’s also there, though. I’m the artist this time. The boy on the run is my husband’s grandson happily crossing the bridge on a wonderful spring day last year.

What about…
You: Thanks, Leo.
Leo: You’re welcome.
…?

Three stories, one story

We’ve read two stories by Edgar Allan Poe; but we didn’t read the real stories, they were simplified versions. You had also read them in Spanish, that time they were complete versions, but not the real ones.
You can read the real The Black Cat and the real The Tell-Tale Heart. The ones that Poe wrote.

I don’t want you to read all the stories, just read some parts of them. Find an interesting word, a word that you don’t understand and look it up in the dictionary (in English). Find another interesting word, don’t look it up; guess its meaning.
Now that you have an idea of three different versions of the same stories, can you compare them?
