Dance Day - Hip Hop

Dance Day - Hip Hop     Hip hop is a cultural movement started in 1970 in the United States as a reaction to social conflicts and violence suffered by the poorer classes of urban society. Is a kind of street culture, a movement to claim space and voice of the suburbs. Hip hop as a cultural movement is composed of four major art events: MCing, which enlivens the party with his rhymes improvised instrumentation of the DJs, dance breakdance and graffiti painting. Starting in the Bronx, hip culture emerged quickly hop to the world. The hip hop should not be confused with the rap (rhythm and poetry), as it has divergent structure of hip hop at various points, despite having common ground. There are rappers who do not play hip hop such as Eminem and Racionais MC's, just as there are musicians from hip hop than rap. The award of MTV, Video Music Awards, for example, has two distinct categories: one for best clip and another for best rap clip hip hop.

Answers to questions from our Spanish friends

Hi from Madeira

Hi! We are a group of students from the school Básica e Secundária Gonçalves Zarco from Madeira, Portugal. We’re here to answer and ask some questions about you, your school and your country. Our names are Cláudia (from Venezuela), Lina and Patrícia (from Madeira) and we are all 13 years old.

About your questions, here are our answers:

Now, 3 weeks after the catastrophe, the streets on Madeira are much better but the people are a little sad about the destruction that the calamity caused, because they lost their jobs, houses, some relatives and material things.

In our English class there are more 21 students without the three of us. 

The weather is better but there are some days that rains, we’re not worried about it because, it isn’t raining like in that day (20/02/2010).

We, as people, didn’t receive any help, because we didn’t need it.  Madeira received a lot of help from Portugal, Spain, the rest of Europe and others countries.

Yes our lives are coming back to normal.

We lost 1 week of classes (IUPIIII J).

We aren’t Scouts. But some of them helped the people in need.

 In Cláudia’s free times she prefers to go shopping and go out with her friends, in Lina’s case she likes to sleep, eat and watch TV (like Garfield) and Patrícia likes to draw, listen to music and go out with friends too.

If you come to Madeira the best places to visit are: the Botanical Garden, the Laurissilva Forest, some Monuments like The Theatre Bartolomeu Dias, Sé Cathedral, Lavradores Market and others.

We’ve got some questions for you:

What’s the name of your school? Is it a language school or a regular one?

What can we visit in Seville? And what are the most famous monuments there?

How is the weather in Spain?

What’re your favourite subjects?

How many times you’ve got holidays and for how long?

No mirrors in my Nana's house ( the book that I read)

I enjoyed reading the book "No Mirrors in My Nana's House" was fun and it makes us think about how the world would be if there were no mirrors, no one would see himself, would see only the inner beauty of people and not care the exterior. Perhaps the world would be better.
