What can I say of this week?
So many things have happened that I don't know how to start. I won't say that we had plenty of problems, because my groupmates have already said it. This week has been, in my opinion, a big mess.
The week started in a very weid way, because we didn't actually know how to do the practice for this week. After a lot of thinking and asking our classmates, we started to develop our idea. The first thing was to pick a topic which hadn't been picked by any other group, because we wanted to save ourselves some problems with the rest of the class. We chose "The Layers of the Earth" because we thought it was something easy, practical and useful.
Our main mistake was to work separated. Each of us started making our part of the work and we messed things up. I have to admit myself that I had trouble with the Powerpoint, because I thought I had to do something and I was wrong.
We also had some problems of bonding. We've fought a lot this week, but that doesn't mean that we don't get on well anymore. For the well being of the group, we acted like civilised people and we finally worked things out.
As the analyst, I've had a hard time because I didn't know how to grade my groupmates. It is difficult to decide in this situation because all of them are classmates, some of them even good friends, and I never thought I'd had to grade them. In general, this week all of us could have worked way better than we did, but with effort and determination we will get better and better.
Now, I'll answer some questions about our work this week.
What was the best part of the activity?
For me, the best part of the activity this week was making it for children, not for our classmates. It was the first time we did something focused on the learning of the pupils and not on University students.
What was the worst?
In my opinion, it was when we were clueless about what we had to do. We were all a bit nervous and we were frustrated.
What was the best moment of the week? (In the work of the group)
When we realised what we had to do and started working with a lot of enthusiasm and doing our best.
What was the worst?
The worst part this week has been the lack of compenetration and the amount of disagreements between us.
What have you learnt?
What do we need to conserve -as a group- for the next weeks?
We need to conserve our enthusiasm and our effort. We really make our best every week, and if we continue, we will get very far.
What do we need to improve -as a group- for the next weeks?
I think we should improve the organization and the way of working. We need to be focused on the work and not on trivial things such as fights or disagreements.
How is this content related to the other contents in the course and in your degree?
I think this content is strongly related to everything we do in the degree because when we make a slideshow, we have to bear in mind that Creative Commons is something very important and we learn to reference our work and to give credit to others for their work.
Is there any social connection of this content (news, politics, etc.)?
Of course. Intellectual property has been a very discussed topic in the last few years because of the author's rights and everything in the musical area or in the movies.

Carmela Navarro, the translator.
Hello, I´m Carmela Navarro Artés, the translator of this week.
First of all I want to explain the development of this week.
We started doing a draft about our exposition, in which we had some troubles because we didn´t really understeand what we had to do, but after some hours thinking about the patterns, we did it as well as we could.
We also talked over between us because we had different points of view but at the end we resolved everything and continue doing our job as if nothing had happended.
After that, on Monday our stars did the expotition and they did their best.
Another work that we had to do, was do two slideshows, but we didn´t understand it well and we thought that we had to do three power points, one explaining the creative commons, another explaining how to do a suitable exposition (incluiding some contents about how to do a good presentation), and the last one the presentation of our topic, "The layers of the earth". When the teacher explained to us what we really had to do, we had to start it all over again.
According to my work, I had to explain five concepts which from my point of view have been important to understand what we have done this week. This five concepts are going to be: Creative commons, the Earth, the Layers of the Earth, the concept of volcano and the concept of tectonics plaits.
Creative Commons: it is a board of directors who want to find a balace between the public and private interest according to stablish some limits by the author in the use and exploitation of this resources
The Earth: The earth is the third planet from the sun in the solar system, orbiting between Venus and Mars and has one natural satellite, the moon. It is compound by three parts the crass, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
(Press, 2014) (My school house, 1999-2014)
The layers of the earth: there are fou different parts: the crust is made mostly of rock, below the crust is the mantle, which is made mostly of solid rock, and it is the thickest layer of the hearth, it is also very hot. The center of the hearth is called the core, and it is extremely hot, it is further divided into a outer core and an inner core. The outer core is a liquid layer of melted nickel and iron. The inner core is made of solid nickel and iron.
Volcano: it is an opening in the Earth's crust from which lava, ash, and hot gases flow or are ejected during an eruption.
(The free dictionary, 2009)
Plate tectonics: Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that attempts to explain the movements of the Earth's lithosphere that have formed the landscape features we see across the globe today.

To be a journalist, by Elena Rivera.
Hello, I´ve been working as a journalist this week. This has been a very good experience for me.
Firs of all, we distribute the roles of each one in order to start the work soon. I was very interested in how to do this role because I like to do several things, that is, I want to learn with every roles. The work this week was great, we have learnt a lot of different topics. I like Give me seven presentation, was brilliant.
Secondly, we decided what topic will be present by our stars this week, it was about the leyers of the Earth that included the explanation of what is a tsunami and what is a earthquake. Then the stars prepared the presentation for the class with a Power Point presentation.
We had some problems with the letters of the slides because one of them could´t be reading well because of the color of the letter in relation with the color of the background. Despite this, we resolve this problem, and now it´s correct.
Here you can see some images of our presentation.
Presentation's day we can see some brilliant presentations, one of them is from "Give me seven". It was about the food chain and the presenter use an example with glasses in orden to explain better the topic.
Here you can find the link of their blog: http://giveme7blog.blogspot.com.es/2014/02/telling-stories-food-chainwith-dinosaurs_25.html
I also find a blog about creative commons, it's very interesting and he explain very clear the key concepts about this. The link is: http://www.gabrielmora.com/creative-commons-y-comunicacion-corporativa/comment-page-1#comment-454
In conclusion, we think we´ll continue to improve our blogs and works in order you like more it.
