Oregon quiz

Now try this quiz and check how much you have learnt about this wonderful state, and then let me know, as usual.

Oregon, a marvellous state

Have you ever heard about Oregon? It is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The area was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before the arrival of traders, explorers and settlers. Spanish explorers sight the Oregon Coast in 1543 and it became the 33rd USA state on February 14, 1859. Oregon is located on the Pacific coast between Washington to the north, California to the south, Nevada on the southeast and Idaho to the east.The valley of the Willamette River in western Oregon is the most densely populated. Oregon enjoys a diverse landscape including a scenic Pacific coastline, the volcanoes of a glaciated Cascade Mountain Range, dense evergreen forests, the country's deepest lake, Crater Lake, and high desert across much of the eastern portion of the state.

St Patricks Day

St Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years.

On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink, and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY!

"Principle not policy; Justice, not favors. Men, their rights, and nothing more; Women, their rights and nothing less."
The Revolution, edited by Susan B. Anthony (Hymowitz, 161)

The history of Women's Day dates back to New York in 1857, when hundreds of working women went on strike and demonstrated against low salaries, long working hours and inhuman working conditions. 35 Years later in Copenhagen, Denmark, it was decided that the anniversary day of the women's "New York Strike" would be celebrated as International Women's Day. On the 8th of March 1975, the UN (United Nations) officially declared the 8th of March as a day of women's rights and world peace.
In all over the world this day is dedicated to women.

I'd like to wish all women all the best, and I invite men to celebrate this day with women all over the world!

We are the world

Esta es una webquest creada especialmente para 3º de Diversificación, con ella pretendo que nos adentremos en el mundo de la inmigración, aprendiendo un poco más de su vida y costumbres y así poder ponernos en su lugar. Como la actividad se prolonga a lo largo de 6 sesiones, espero que para la Semana Intercultural la hayamos terminado y sea el momento de exponerla, ésta será, por tanto nuestra participación en esa actividad.

Influential British Women

Para celebrar el Día Internacional de la Mujer Trabajadora vamos a trabajar una Webquest sobre la situación de la mujer a lo largo del tiempo.
