Figurative Language

Today's topic is related to literature. As I'm well aware that reading is not normally my students' favourite activity, let's learn a few things about Figurative Language in a fun way.

Yes... in a fun way. No hyperboles here.

It would be advisable to watch the video first so that students get a general idea of different examples of figurative language together with examples. Once they know the basics, they will be ready to go Kahoot!-ing.

I'll try both things myself in class. Wish me luck!

Look Up: A Poem

Today's entry is all about filmmaker and spoken word artist Gary Turk. One of the things he does -brilliantly, I must say- is talking about daily life through poems, so you might easily relate to the topics he deals with. As sometimes "A picture is worth a thousand words", he makes videos out of his poems. You can watch some of them HERE.

Just to start with, I've taken a poem called 'Look Up'. As you can see in the video cover, it is about how an abusive use of technology can make us lose awareness of what happens around us.




Here's the poem in its written form as well. Hope you enjoy it!

Music - You Learn (Alanis Morissette)

Who said that you only learn what you are taught? 
Can we learn through our experiences in life?
Alanis Morissette thinks so. In fact, she recommends us to take risks so that we learn from our wins and losses. Listen to the song and see it for yourself.

Quotes - 2

Breaking Bad - season 2, episode 8

Keep going, superheroes! You can almost touch the finish line. Go kick fear, frustration and tiredness as hard as you can right in the teeth!

It feels awesome, by the way.


***

For those of you who want it, here's the translation into Spanish:

"He pasado mi vida entera asustado. Con miedo a las cosas que podían pasar, podrían pasar, podrían no pasar. Cincuenta años he pasado así. Despertándome a las tres de la mañana. ¿Pero sabes qué? Cada día desde mi diagnóstico, duermo bien. Me di cuenta de que lo peor de todo es el miedo. De que es el enemigo real. Así que levántate, sal al mundo real y dale una patada a ese b******* tan fuerte como puedas en toda la boca."

Quotes - 1

My dear students,

Good luck on your exams. Read the quote below and breath deep. Don't give up, you're almost there!

See you on Monday, superheroes.

"In 1888, William Williams Keen became one of the first surgeons to successfully remove a brain tumor. A big win. It's true. You can look it up. What's harder to find, however, are stories of all the times old Double Billy K tried to pull a tumor out of a brain and lost. The losses must have happened. A surgeon must always be prepared to lose. And in neurosurgery, with the big tumors. We lose those battles as often as we succeed. The key, though, win or lose, is to never fail. And the only way to fail is not to fight. So you fight until you can't fight anymore. Hold up your head and enter the arena and face the enemy. Fight until you can't fight anymore. Never let go. Never give up. Never run. Never surrender. Fight the good fight. Even when it seems inevitable that you're about to go down swinging."
"Why do we even try, when the barriers are so high and the odds are so low? Why don't we just pack it in and go home? It'd be so, so much easier. It's because in the end there's no glory in easy. No one remembers easy. They remember the blood, and the bones, and the long agonizing fight to the top. And that is how you become legendary."

Grey's Anatomy
Season 11, Episode 14



Here's the translation into Spanish for those of you who are interested:
"En 1888, William Williams Keen se convirtió en uno de los primeros cirujanos que consiguió extraer un tumor cerebral. Una gran victoria. Es verdad. Puedes buscar información sobre ello. Lo que es más difícil de encontrar, sin embargo, son las historias de todas las veces en que Billy Bis K intentó extraer un tumor cerebral y perdió. Las derrotas han debido suceder. Un cirujano siempre debe estar preparado para perder. Y en neurocirugía, contra los grandes tumores. Perdemos tantas batallas como victorias cosechamos. La clave, sin embargo, se gane o se pierda, es no fallar nunca. Y la única manera de fallar es no pelear. Así que pelea hasta que no puedas pelear más. Mantén la cabeza alta, sal a la palestra y enfréntate al enemigo. Lucha hasta que no puedas luchar más. Nunca lo dejes. Nunca te des por vencido. Nunca salgas corriendo. Nunca te rindas. Dalo todo. Incluso aunque parezca inevitable que vayas a perder en el intento."

"¿Por qué lo intentamos, aunque las barreras sean tan grandes y las posibilidades tan escasas? ¿Por qué no lo dejamos y nos vamos a casa? Sería mucho, mucho más fácil. Es porque al final no hay gloria en lo fácil. Nadie recuerda lo fácil. Recuerdan la sangre, y los huesos, y la lenga y agonizante batalla hasta la cima. Y es así como te conviertes en leyenda."
