gamification in education.
Chez Lello, l'une des 10 plus belles libraries du monde, visitée par centaines de touristes de tout le monde, on a célébré le démarrage du Centenaire Agustina
Le Principe de l'Incertitude, traduit do roman O Princípio da Incerteza est l'un des romans de Agustina Bessa-Luís qu'on peut lire en français
O Princípio da Incerteza
Jóia de Família
Agustina Bessa-Luís
Guimarães Editores
Et l'un des plsieurs romans de l'auteure adapté au cnéma par le grand cinéaste portugais Manoel de Oliveira, et l'un des cinéastes européens plus célébré.
Agustina Bessa-Luis est originaire du nord du pays, dans une ville près de Porto, Amarante, tandis que Saramago vient de Santarém, dans le sud duPortugal.
Agustina connait son premier grand succès d’écriture à 32 ans, avec La Sibylle. Dès lors, elle ne cessera d’écrire des romans fouillant les logiques sentimentales et sociales des siècles passés et souvent le rôle des femmes du nord.
José Saramago, lui, ne connaîtra que sur le tard le succès avec ses œuvres de fiction, dans lesquelles il revisite l’histoire portugaise, ainsi du XVIIIe siècle dans Le Dieu Manchot, mais aussi l’histoire religieuse de façon résolument irrévérencieuse, par exemple dans L’évangile selon Jésus-Christ.
Deux des plus grands écrivains de la littérature portugaise qu'il faut bien lire et travailler en cours de littérature européenne, par exemple.
Invitez vos éléves à visiter le site officiel du Centenaire Agustina Bessa-Luís (en Portugais) et recueillir des informations sur la biographie, et bibliographie, ansi que des activités sur l'écrivaine portugaise, une des plus importantes de la littérature portugaise et connue dans plusieurs pays. Agustina Bessa-Luís n'a pas eu le Noble de la Littérature comme José Saramago. Mais elle le méritait aussi bien.
Lire un/deux livres selon le niveau d'apprentissage de vos élèves. Essayez de trouver des traductions en français ou alors lire en langue portugaise à l'aide du/de la professeur.e de langue et littérature.
Pour le lycée, ajoutez des activités plus avancées: lire un livre ou deux de chaque écrivain, voir des films d'après quelques livres de Saramago ou Bessa-Luís.
Faire une analyse comparative de deux écrivains dont le centenaire est célébré. Et finir par un commentaire écrit, une présentation YouTube.
The Geminid meteor shower is one of the last major showers of the year. In 2022, the
Geminid meteor shower will peak on 13-14 December.
Usually,
as many as 150 meteors per hour can be seen in the show, which makes it among
the best of the year for actually spotting a meteor.
This
year, the brightness of the Moon will have a slightly diminishing effect, with NASA predicting between 30-40 meteors per hour.
“Don’t
miss the annual Geminids meteor shower,” NASA
tweeted.
Geminids facts:
Together with
the Quadrantids, the Geminids are the only major meteor showers not
originating from a comet.
The beautiful streaks we
see in the night sky can actually be caused by particles as small as a
grain of sand!
Geminids were first
observed in 1862, much more recently than other showers such as the Perseids and Leonids.
The Geminids are thought
to be intensifying every year.

"Notice that the Geminids’ radiant point,
and the moon, are close together in Earth’s sky. But there’s still a window of
darkness between the time the radiant rises in mid-evening, and the moon rises around
midnight. That’s the time to watch for meteors this week.
EarthSky
Nearest moon
phase: In 2022, last quarter moon falls on December 16.
So, it’s a bright waning gibbous moon that’ll rise in the
midst of the Geminids’ peak in 2022.
When to watch:
The usual advice is that it’s best to get away from buildings and other
sources of light to watch the meteor shower. In many places, at this kind of
year, that’s going to be very difficult, given the weather. For Portugal, it
wil be very difficult because we have a severe weather this week.
All is not lost for others countries! Notice the rising time of the
Geminids’ radiant
point. The constellation Gemini is up by mid-evening
in December. And moonrise isn’t until later, shortly before midnight, on the
evenings of both December 13 and 14. And the moon rises later on December 14,
providing more time for meteor-watching.
The peak time of night is around 2 a.m. for all parts of the globe.
Both evenings – December 13 and 14 – are worth a try! I wish you will be
lucky
You can still view Geminids just before or after this date, but the last
opportunity is on December 17.
I'm not a Sciences teachers. I'm Humanities and Arts teacher. But, I'm very attracted to Astronomy science.
The Geminids, along with thePerseids in August, are the two most active annual meteor showers. They can always be relied upon to put on a good show.
European schools are still working for a few days. Using smartphones, students will need a cable release chord. Luckily they can actually use their iPhone headphones' cable volume button to activate the shutter. And they also need an app designed to take long exposure photos.
Sciences curriculum will be enhanced with this awesome event! The Geminids meteor shower.

Watch the best moments of the Overture Ceremony here presented by the Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman.
As all eyes turned to Qatar for the opening ceremonies of this year’s World Cup today, veteran American actor Morgan Freeman took centre stage with a message of unity and togetherness.

Striding slowly through a group of dancers and performers inside Al Bayt stadium in Al Khor, the 85-year-old movie star spoke in his unmistakable voice - much to the excitement of the thousands of people in attendance.
“I heard something beautiful. Not just music, but also this call to celebration,”

Freeman intoned while walking toward a young man without legs in the middle of the stage.
“Come on over,” the legless man identified as World Cup ambassador Ghanim Al Muftah, dressed in traditional Qatari regalia, said to a hesitant Freeman.
“We sent out the call, because everyone is welcome. This is an invitation to the whole world.”
The two men proceeded to crouch on the floor and engage in a performative but poignant conversation, in which the Shawshank Redemption icon lamented the state of the world being divided and distant.
In the end, both men agree that “what unites us here, in this moment, is so much greater than what divides us.”

“Through all the differences in language there is a common thread of hope, jubilation and respect. We may not understand words but in the deepest part of us we must appreciate and understand the emotions that connect us all,”
Morgan Freeman
The performance received a thunderous applause from the crowd, and left those watching from around the world with much appreciation for the film legend.
“This is the most beautiful, charismatic and heartwarming World Cup opening ceremony ever,” one person tweeted

The Portuguese legend Cristiano Ronaldo has had his wax figure unveiled by the world's greatest wax museum, Madame Tussauds, New York at Times Square last 19 November 2022.
Cristiano Ronaldo, arguably the greatest footballer of all time, revealed his latest wax figure with the world's greatest wax museum, Madame Tussauds New York. Just days ahead of the World Cup, Ronaldo became the first athlete to ever accomplish a “Times Square takeover,” a feat matched in exclusivity by being honored with a Madame Tussauds wax figure.
The epic moment captured the attention of a cheering crowd as Ronaldo gave a personal message to his fans, amplified by his native country’s destination agency Visit Portugal across multiple jumbotrons in the heart of New York City. Prompted by CR7 himself, the audience celebrated his latest achievement by joining the G.O.A.T in striking his world-famous “siuuuuu” pose.
Ronaldo was blown away when meeting his wax figure in person, especially the likeness of his hair and eyes. “This is wax? Are you kidding?” said Cristiano Ronaldo. “The face is unbelievable. Imagine two Ronaldos!”
