Biography Project

A. ABOUT WHO? Chose the ideal character
  • Although you might have already chosen a candidate for your investigation, you should first do a quick reading (skimming, scanning) of the, for example Wikipedia article, to see if you find information that will be interesting for your audience (your classmates). 
  • You can check internet for ideas, like here, or here.
  • The biography of a member of the family can be a very interesting investigation.  
B. STRUCTURE
  • A biography is a chronological report. This means the text follows the natural flow of time (chronos). So the classic structure is from birth to death.
  • You might want to use a more original and sophisticated approach. You might want to start with his last days (death) and then, like in a flashback, go to the past. 
C. KEY ELEMENTS:
  1. Birth: Date (during a war, a crisis) Place (the city, the country, rich or poor area)
  2. Family background (rich, poor, educated,...) 
  3. Early school years (personality as a kid, friends, hobbies, studies,...)
  4. Teen years (becoming an adult, 13-19). Secondary school
  5. University (career, failure or success, his marks,...)
  6. Love and marriage (children, home,...)
  7. Work (first jobs, changes of company,...)
  8. MAIN CONTRIBUTIONS: The peak of his career, what he or she is famous for.
  9. Older age, retirement. What he or she does after his main contributions.
  10. Death
D. PLANNING AND NOTE-TAKING
  • You will start by taking notes on paper. You should record all relevant information, making sure to check for the interesting facts. 
  • Use the 10 numbers above to classify

Nature Walk

The trip

 As a conclusion to our Geography Unit (Rivers and Mountains) we are going out on a nature walk. We shall start at the Embalse del Pontón and finish at Boca del Asno. All in La Granja de San Ildefonso (Segovia) area, on the other side of the Puerto de Navacerrada. Check here for a Google Maps image of our route. This map is not perfect because we will follow the river bank, and Google´s version follows the road. Here you have more information about our route.

During the first half of our journey (4km) we will try to follow the Eresma River without getting lost. Mr Nelson doesn´t know this, but he will lead (hahahahaha!). We will take some photos and maybe splash a bit. We will have lunch in Valsain.

During the second half (4km) we will pass Valsain. Then, following El Camino de las Pesquerías, we will visit the area we call Los Asientos, we will try not to be attacked by cows, horses, tigers and other wild animals; and finally we will see the waterfalls and ponds that take us to Boca del Asno.There we will have a Hee-Haw (braying) Competition and we will finish by visiting the Centre of Interpretation if we have time, and having a snack in the Chiringuitow if it´s open!.

Here´s a map

What do we need to bring?

  • Authorization signed by parents
  • Sporty shoes or trekking boots 
  • A water-bottle with lots of water
  • Sun-cream and cap if you are sun sensitive
  • Food if you are a Home-For-Lunch
  • A snack in case you feel hungry
  • 1-2€ for an ice-cream in the Chiringuitow (if it´s open)
  • A sweet or two if you think 8km is too much walking
  • A camera (or mobile) if your parents allow you to, for the Photography Competition
  • Swimming suit on if you really want to splash hard. A towel and clean underwear to change. 
  • Lots of Love and Respect for Nature.
Any question?
See you through Line of e-mail
