Taller y evaluación bimestral segundo bimestre grado 9.

CON LA HISTORIA Y LA GEOGRAFÍA APRENDIENDO EN NOVENO ESTAMOS.

Objetivos

- Desarrollar como evaluación bimestral un proyecto el cual buscará dar cuenta de los conceptos básicos del área de ciencias sociales y sus asignaturas.

- La evaluación bimestral estará encaminada a resolver una problemática de las ciencias sociales asociada con las competencias básicas y lineamentos curriculares de los distintos grados de la educación básica y media.

- La propuesta está encaminada en la producción de conocimiento y pensamiento social

- La metodología del proyecto está basada en la resolución de una pregunta problema pensada en un contexto interdisciplinar.

- Las fases de implementación del proyecto se asemeja a un ejercicio investigativo y consta de dos fases:

Fase teórica

DESARROLLO TALLER DE REPASO

Descripción de la propuesta

Los estudiantes resolverán una pregunta problema de manera individual, por lo cual tendrán como taller bimestral los elementos teóricos y didácticos para resolver la problemática (contextualización por parte de los docentes del área de los elementos básicos que los educandos deben proporcionar en su proyecto y un paso a paso detallado de las fases de desarrollo de la problemática).

Como base teórica, a partir de un análisis contextual los estudiantes deben analizar la

influencia que tuvo la segunda guerra mundial en la economía colombiana en durante el S. XX, es decir, a partir de la pregunta problema que se plantea, los educandos deben elaborar mapas conceptuales en donde analicen dicho proceso y presentarlo de manera creativa el día de la bimestral.

Pregunta problema

¿Cómo influenció la Segunda Guerra Mundial a la economía colombiana en el S. XX?

Descripción de la fase teórica

De manera individual, los educandos desarrollarán la fase teórica mediante la elaboración de textos argumentativos en donde evidencien las características principales de la influencia que tuvo la Primera Guerra Mundial en la economía colombiana durante el siglo XX. El dia de la evaluación bimestral, los educandos se deben organizar en grupos de 3 personas (elegidos por el docente) y a través de una exposición deberán presentar los argumentos para dar respuesta a la pregunta problema tomando como base los textos argumentativos elaborados en clase .

Descripción de la problemática

Buscando implementar un lenguaje cercano al de un texto crítico en ciencias sociales, el grupo de educandos propondrá una descripción de la problemática expuesta por los docentes del área (pregunta problema).

La descripción no deberá tener más de una página y tratará de acercar al estudiante a desarrollar pensamiento social en un contexto y en un periodo de tiempo determinado, identificando los conceptos básicos propuestos para el bimestre.

Justificación de la problemática

Los educandos harán uso de textos argumentativos, tratarán de explicar cómo resolverán la problemática y por qué es importante para su formación académica y personal, el relacionar la pregunta problema a un contexto histórico-geográfico fortaleciendo el pensamiento crítico y social

Metodología

Los educandos deben organizar en grupo de 3 y realizar la actividad práctica acordada con cada uno de los cursos. Dicha actividad debe responder la pregunta problema planteada para el nivel.

Trabajo en clase

Durante la semana de talleres bimestrales los educandos desarrollaran la base teórica mediante la elaboración de textos argumentativos que permitan dar respuesta a la pregunta problema y avanzar en el desarrollo de la propuesta práctica.

Materiales

● Textos argumentativos elaborados por los educandos. ● Presentación en Power Point/ carteleras (una por grupo) ● Imágenes de apoyo sobre la temática a desarrollar. ● Tijeras, pegamento, marcadores, entre otros.

EVALUACIÓN BIMESTRAL (Fase de producción creativa)

Los educandos deben representar gráficamente la respuesta a la pregunta problema tomando como base teórica los textos argumentativos elaborados como resultado de su ejercicio de investigación, lo cual incentivará a los educandos a explorar su capacidad de análisis, argumentación y trabajo en equipo.

c. Racionaliza la expresión asociada al período de un péndulo.

2. Resuelve los siguientes logaritmos aplicando las propiedades:

El nivel de presión sonora determina la intensidad del sonido que genera

una presión sonora (es decir, sonido que alcanza una persona en un

momento dado), se mide en decibelios (dB) y varía entre 0 dB umbral de

audición y 120 dB umbral de dolor. La escala de decibeles se introdujo

porque las cifras eran poco prácticas de manejar, por lo tanto, se define el

nivel de presión sonora (NPS) mediante la siguiente formula:

𝑵𝑷𝑺 = 𝟏𝟎 𝒍𝒐𝒈 (𝑷𝟏

𝑷𝟎)

𝟐

Donde: 𝑷𝟎 = es la mínima presión sonora audible (correspondiente al

sonido más suave que se puede escuchar), 𝑷𝟏 = es la presión sonora.

Taller de repaso grado noveno.

Lee el siguiente poema.

La princesa está triste... ¿Qué tendrá la princesa? Los suspiros se escapan de su boca de fresa, que ha perdido la risa, que ha perdido el color.

La princesa está pálida en su silla de oro, está mudo el teclado de su clave sonoro,

y en un vaso, olvidada, se desmaya una flor.

El jardín puebla el triunfo de los pavos reales. Parlanchina, la dueña dice cosas banales,

y vestido de rojo piruetea el bufón. La princesa no ríe, la princesa no siente;

la princesa persigue por el cielo de Oriente la libélula vaga de una vaga ilusión.

¿Piensa, acaso, en el príncipe de Golconda o de China,

o en el que ha detenido su carroza argentina para ver de sus ojos la dulzura de luz?

¿O en el rey de las islas de las rosas fragantes, o en el que es soberano de los claros diamantes, o en el dueño orgulloso de las perlas de Ormuz?

¡Ay!, la pobre princesa de la boca de rosa quiere ser golondrina, quiere ser mariposa,

tener alas ligeras, bajo el cielo volar; ir al sol por la escala luminosa de un rayo, saludar a los lirios con los versos de mayo

o perderse en el viento sobre el trueno del mar.

Ya no quiere el palacio, ni la rueca de plata, ni el halcón encantado, ni el bufón escarlata,

ni los cisnes unánimes en el lago de azur. Y están tristes las flores por la flor de la corte,

los jazmines de Oriente, los nelumbos del Norte, de Occidente las dalias y las rosas del Sur.

¡Pobrecita princesa de los ojos azules!

Está presa en sus oros, está presa en sus tules, en la jaula de mármol del palacio real;

el palacio soberbio que vigilan los guardas, que custodian cien negros con sus cien alabardas,

un lebrel que no duerme y un dragón colosal.

¡Oh, quién fuera hipsipila que dejó la crisálida! (La princesa está triste. La princesa está pálida.)

¡Oh visión adorada de oro, rosa y marfil! ¡Quién volara a la tierra donde un príncipe existe, (La princesa está pálida. La princesa está triste.)

más brillante que el alba, más hermoso que abril!

-«Calla, calla, princesa -dice el hada madrina-; en caballo, con alas, hacia acá se encamina,

en el cinto la espada y en la mano el azor, el feliz caballero que te adora sin verte,

y que llega de lejos, vencedor de la Muerte, a encenderte los labios con un beso de amor».

Read three people’s opinions about scams. Match the questions (1–6) with the people (A–C). You can choose the people more than once.

Which person:

1 passes on official advice about avoiding a scam? ……………………… 2 talks about a scam that involves imitating the way people speak? ……………………… 3 has personal knowledge of someone who has lost money in a scam? ……………………… 4 mentions a scam that has received media attention lately? ……………………… 5 talks about a scam that uses the postal service? ……………………… 6 thinks they are unlikely to fall for one of these scams? ………………………

A John I’ve never been the victim of a scam, at least as far as I know, but I know someone who has, and it’s such a sad story. The person I’m talking about is an old lady who lives near my parents. She lives alone and only has a daughter who goes to visit her from time to time. One day, the daughter found a huge pile of letters in the lady’s bedroom and they were all scam letters saying that she’d won something in a lottery or a competition. Apparently, the old lady had replied to many of them and even sent money to pay what the scammers called ‘the insurance on her winnings’. When the daughter investigated further, she found that the old lady had lost thousands of pounds! I think it’s terrible that these scammers target older people who don’t realise what lies these people are telling them. They’re from a generation who believe that most people are basically honest. So, if someone tells them that they’ve won a large amount of money in a Canadian lottery, they don’t immediately think ‘how could I have won money from a lottery that I never entered?’ They do what they’re asked to do. They send money and then never hear from these people again. It’s appalling. B Emma There’s a scam that’s been highlighted on television recently because it has become so widespread. It’s telephone fraud. There’s something called ‘vishing’ and it involves automated calls which are so believable many people think they are having a conversation with a real person. The scammers use software that can mimic the caller ID number of the organisation they are impersonating. Because people trust that number, they get tricked into giving personal details over the phone. Another scam is the ‘no hang up’ fraud. This is really scary. People get a call saying that there’s a problem with their bank and they need to call the number on the back of their credit or debit card. So they put the phone down and dial that number but what they don’t know is that the fraudster has kept the line open so when they call, thinking they are speaking to their bank or whatever, they’re really talking to the person behind the scam. Then they get tricked into transferring money into another account for security purposes. Apparently, these fraudsters also put on certain accents, like Scottish or Welsh, because they are considered more trustworthy. Anyway, the answer is to hang up of course. Or wait for at least ten minutes before you call. C David We are warned often enough about online fraud, but it’s still happening, and these scams can cost people huge amounts of money. It’s difficult to choose one to talk about because there are so many, but I think one of the most dangerous is the one involving banks. I have a couple of friends who have received emails from what they thought was their bank. The address and logo were identical and the emails looked official and genuine. They asked the recipient to update their personal information, so my friends were supposed to type in their account details, addresses, passwords, etc. In fact, the emails weren’t from the banks but were very clever copies. My friends are on the look-out for online scams and know as well as I do to be very careful about replying to emails that ask for personal information like that, but there are a lot of people out there who are unsuspecting. The scammers can get their hands on information that they can use to make themselves a lot of money. Any online users must update their security and never give information like this unless they are very sure that the request is genuine. Banks actually say that they would never ask for information in this way, so the easy rule is NEVER respond.
