GLOBAL WARMING

The purpose of this report is to discuss the global warming. The global warming refers to climate change as a result of greenhouse gases. These greenhouse gases are causing the greenhouse effect, which is the accumulation of thermal radiation that is absorbed by gases. This is increasing the temperature of our planet. This is a big problem.

For example, the levels of the sea have risen through the world. Experts say that if the situation doesn’t change, the Arctic will be unfreezed and de-iced by September 2037.

This is because heat brought about the greenhouse effect is causing the melting of the polar ice caps. Some of the greenhouse gases like methane and CFCs are causing the slow destruction of the ozone layer. This is a problem because this way the ultraviolet radiation can go more easily through the atmosphere.

As a result of all this, we’re slowly destroying our planet.

In conclusion, seeing that we can still try to help, we should use more electric cars or cycle more, use renewable power and eco-friendly products. Some people think it is still not a problem because it is not as relevant as it was a few years ago, but it is a serious issue and we all have to be conscious of that.

TR

EVALUATION CRITERIA (ENGLISH DEPARTMENT)

AVALUACIÓ

Un mínim de dos exàmens al trimestre (proves de gramàtica, vocabulari, comprensió lectora i producció escrita), 50%

Writings (un mínim de dos per trimestre) 20%

Deures i actitud, 10%.

Les notes de les classes de desdoblament (1 hora setmanal; pensat per treballar especialment la preparació per a les PAU), equivalen a un 20% de la nota global del trimestre.

·         La nota final del curs sortirà de la mitja percentual dels tres trimestres:

·         1r trimestre= 20%

·         2n trimestre= 30%

·         3r trimestre= 50%

·         Donat però, que es tracta d´una matèria acumulativa, el tercer trimestre s´ha d´aprovar com a mínim amb una nota de 4 per tal de poder calcular la final en base als percentatges 20/30/50%. Si en el darrer trimestre, on es concentra l´acumulació conceptual de la matèria,  no s´obté una nota mitja de 4, aleshores l´alumne queda suspès de tot el curs i ha d´anar a

     l´examen de setembre de tota la matèria.

ALTRES FACTORS (actitud, assistència...)

El 10 % de la nota és per treball a classe i fer els deures (participació) Es calcularà en totes les avaluacions des del primer dia de curs. Es valorarà positivament l’ús de la llengua estrangera a la classe. L´ actitud positiva i la participació oral a classe incrementa la nota. Així mateix l´ actitud negativa pot descomptar fins a un 10% de la nota de cada trimestre. Tant l'actitud positiva com la negativa es tindran en compte a l'hora d'arrodonir la nota final de cada trimestre.

·         Indispensable un 80% d’assistència a classe. Cada falta injustificada descompta un 0.25% de la nota global del trimestre.

DEURES D'ESTIU

Els deures d'estiu de 1r Bat. que la professora hagi consideriat OBLIGATORIS per a alguns alumnes (dossier preparat per la professora, llibre de vacances o llibre de lectura), que han de lliurar-se durant les dues primeres setmanes del nou curs, poden augmentar la nota de la primera avaluació fins a un punt. La no presentació dels deures d'estiu obligatoris comporta un descompte de -1 punt sobre la nota final del primer trimestre. Els alumnes que es presentin a la prova de recuperació de setembre, han de lliurar-los el mateix dia de l'examen.

RECUPERACIONS

Els alumnes de 2n de Bat  pendents d’anglès de 1r tenen la possibilitat de recuperar el curs anterior aprovant segon de Batxillerat.

·         En casos especials, la professora decidirà si cal preparar a l'alumne un examen extraordinari, la data del qual es pactarà amb l'alumne i Coordinació de Batxillerat.

REPORT: THE PRICE OF GAMES

The aim of this report is to investigate why the videogames in PlayStation are more expensive than computer.

I found that the game price can be divided in different parts: The shop where we buy the game, developing cost, hardware license, marketing cost and publisher profits. If we buy a PlayStation game we are paying all of this.

Searching about the computer game price I discovered that the price division didn't have the shop profits and the pubisher profits. Why? Because when we buy a computer game we are not going to a shop, we buy it online. And there is no publisher profits because in PC there is no publishers.

In conclusion, this information means that a PC game is about 35% cheaper than a PlayStation game. I recomend to buy games in PC because you will save more money.
