EL juego del Angel
El juego del Angel is the title of the book by the spanish writer Carlos Ruiz Zafon, a prelude to his blockbuster noverl, La sombra del viento. It was published in Spain on April 17, 2008.
El juego del Anfel is the second book of a series of four interconnecterd novels set in mysterious and gothic Barcelona ranging from the era of the Industrial Revolution to the years after the Spanish Civil War. The four stories, independent and self-sufficient in themselves, share some characters and scenarios, focus on El cementerio de los libros olvidados.
This book is really interesting because from the first page to the last, catchs you and you can´t stop reading it. Each character has their own personality and it´s shows in the different ways they speak, sharing the subtle irony so characteristin of Zafón. I recommend this book to any person which likes mystey novels with a verly elaborated argument.
Enjoy it!!

I was talking to a student in bilingual secion 3D. Her name is Leyre. She told my that using the wiki since the begining of the course. She works on the wiki to find information about the nacional parks of Spain. This link is: http://madriddelosaustrias.wikispaces.com/ .Each student has a different section. Thanks to the wiki can study varias subjects: Language, technology, biology and history. What se likes most of the wiki is to learn different ways to study and prefers to work in the wiki because it is more comfortable, entretaining and is a new way of learning.

Vanessa Sánchez.

The day 29 of April we went to speak with the teacher Maria Jesus Campos. She was answering

to our questions on her wiki.

The wiki was initiated for pupils of third bilingual selection at the begining of this course. The wiki is written in English because the teacher wants students to practice English because they

are bilingual. The teacher wants to have fun learning, digital competence to develop and learn abour the history of Madrid, so she chosed the subject of the Habsburgs. Another reason why she chosed the Habsburgs is that the pupils study this subject in literature.

Don Quijote:

I recommend Don Quixote as it is a book written by a well-known writer Miguel de Cervante Saavedra. Born in Madrid more specifically in Alcala de Henares.

The first part is fine and sometimes they send read in some schools. The work is fun after all the nonsense he says and does in some chapters already know to us after so many times as we have things in the book.

I recommend reading the first part because it is less boring than the second, but quein likes to read can read the two parties.

And the day of the book can be heard in all media since it is so famous.

Read it if you are bored at home or on holiday you a lot of fun, and if you like to put some commentary on the book ir you want, and for those who know much English can read it in English too.

It's worth keeping an eye on that blog

We have received from Ana Concejero, author of several great blogs, this meme, Vale a pena ficar de olho nesse blog ("It's worth keeping an eye on that blog"). It's a great honour to receive precisely from her this award that means that, from her point of view, our blog deserves a visit and we are very grateful.

According to the rules of the game, now I must choose ten blogs that I consider worth visiting and that I would like to promote, so to speak. First I must mention those blogs written by my teachers, the people who introduced me in this amazing world of blogging, podcasting and enjoying the web. Even though they don't need any promotion, their blogs are worth not a visit but a lot of them. So please visit José Luis Cabello's English Teaching Lab, (though José Luis is currently more active on twitter and posterous); Alejandro Valero's Apuntes sobre blogs; Lourdes Barroso's website and José María Campo's Roa Multimedia. Of course I don't expect them to reply, but I must recognise where I come from.  I must also publicize the great job my good friend Paqui Torralbo is doing with her Dolores Ibárruri-English Blog. She is responsible for me entering this world as well and I learn from her all the time.Of course other blog from where to learn lots of things, among them generosity, is Ángel Puente's El Balcón abierto. I also recently met Ángel González and his inspiring Colonial Nuggets. The amazing Langwitches Blog is full of ideas and creativity.. The same happens with Burcu Akyol's blog, whom I follow on twitter. Of course I must encourage you to visit one of the runners for Espiral Edublogs Awards 2010, Enredando en el instituto. Cómo fue el siglo XVIII by Ana Concejero, José Luis Gamboa, Celia Urbano, Rosa Lara and a few more. I wish them good luck!! And  of course many, many more blogs and bloggers who daily make an effort to offer the best from themselves...
Update: We have been mentioned as well by Ampliación de inglés, y Es todo el mundo un prodigio.
