Reglas para escribir reseñas
para el
“ READERS
/VIDEO CORNER”:
ð
Se trata de imaginar
que se escribe una reseña para una revista juvenil . La reseña debe tener un máximo
de 150 palabras.
Consejos para escribir la reseña
ð
Recuerda para quien escribes: Para un público de adolescentes como tú.
No trates de ser más académico de lo que es natural en ti y piensa en lo que
puede interesar a gente de tu edad. Se trata de que les apetezca leer el libro o
ver el video tras leer tu reseña.
ð
No cuentes la historia. Da una idea del argumento, no tienes que
contar capitulo a capitulo o escena a escena.
ð
Bromea con el lector. Da una idea de lo que los lectores pueden
esperar. El genero, los protagonistas. Que "sientan" lo que este
particular "reader/video" puede ofrecerles.
ð
Planifica tu reseña. Toma notas según lees, haz la versión definitiva mientras tengas
la historia "fresca" en tu cabeza. Re- lee tu reseña y haz los
cambios , añadidos o supresiones que creas correctas. ( Tu profesora te puede
ayudar con los fallos de expresión pero recuerda que la redacción es tuya. )
ð
No copies .
ð
Entrega tu "reseña" a tu
profesora. En un diskette
Hay que escanear la imagen de la portada del libro /video . Si dispones de un scanner, hazlo tú
mismo e incluye la imagen en tu reseña. Si no dispones de scanner pídele a tu
profesora que lo haga. Recuerda, tienes que dar a la imagen una resolución de 50, si le das más resolución,
no te cabrá en el diskette y será demasiado grande y /o no cabrá en nuestra página.

GLADIATOR (video )
By
Juan Daniel Perez Castro. 1º Bachillerato A Course 02/03
“Caesar, we salute you!”. This sentence was pronounced by the gladiators who
fought in the Coliseum. The movie is really good , it won five Oscars , and the
truth is that I think the movie deserved them.
The
sequences of Rome, the Coliseum and the battle at the beginning are incredible .
In the battles you ca see blood, heads and arms cut by a sword with a high level
of realism . The acting is very good , one of the best I’ve seen. It’s a
great film that shows the power of the ancient Rome . It was easy to understand
because the English in it is very “Latin like”.
Besides watching the film, you can also read the book from the English department library.

Anne Frank received a diary on her birthday . Since
that day Anne began to write about her life.
She lived in Holland in 1942, II World war, when the
Germans invaded the country . Anne was a Jew and she and her family had to hide
from Nazi Germans. Anne suffered the war reprisals in a dangerous country and
she tells us about her secret love with a boy she had met at school.
Anne Frank is not a character in a book , she was a
real girl living very difficult historical times!
