DESCRIPCIÓN DEL CURSO
El curso de Español y Literatura de grado séptimo pretende que los estudiantes a través de la lectura, conocimiento de las diferentes formalidades del lenguaje, análisis y producción de diferentes tipologías textuales, entre las cuales se encuentran los textos literarios e informativos, continúen desarrollando sus competencias lingüísticas, para realizar comprensiones y producciones más elaboradas, en las cuales establezcan variadas relaciones entre diferentes tipos de textos y comprendan el lenguaje como una unidad de sentido. Para esto se desarrollarán cinco secuencias didácticas que integran los diferentes estándares del programa, y que a continuación se presentan de manera general: PRIMER SEMESTRE:
1. ¿Qué nos quiere decir Stevenson con El extraño caso del Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde? A partir de una investigación sobre el autor y algunas características del siglo XIX, los estudiantes lograrán descubrir por qué esta obra está vigente en este momento tan diferente.
2. ¿Por qué ser tolerantes, solidarios y generosos? Esta es una pregunta importante que rastrearemos a través de la lectura de la novela: El curso en que me enamoré de ti. De Blanca Álvarez.
3. ¿Qué implica crecer? A través de la lectura del texto El jamón del sándwich de Graciela Bialet realizaremos algunas reflexiones sobre cómo la literatura nos muestra, a través de algunos de sus personajes juveniles, los conflictos y las transformaciones por las que hay que pasar en la adolescencia.
SEGUNDO SEMESTRE
4. Diferencia entre el tiempo del relato y el tiempo de la historia. Con Los vecinos mueren en las novelas de Sergio
Aguirre se orientará un trabajo textual que permita reconocer algunas características del género misterio y de la complejidad de los relatos que cuentan una historia con una organización temporal diferente a la lineal. .
5. Yo también puedo leer y escribir como los grandes: se trata de hacer un acercamiento a la escritura a través de la lectura de algunos cuentos clásicos de diferentes autores, con el propósito de descubrir las características y estrategias que ellos usaron en sus producciones.
Durante el desarrollo de las secuencias anteriores se harán reflexiones sobre el uso de formalidades del lenguaje (ortografía, puntuación etc.) y al mismo tiempo se integrarán textos informativos, argumentativos y poéticos para que los estudiantes conozcan como la comprensión se forma a través de diferentes redes intertextuales.
Además de las lecturas anteriores, cada estudiante, de manera independiente (casa), leerá dos libros (uno por semestre) que compartirá con todo el grupo a través de una estrategia que implique el uso de algún recurso tecnológico.
La escritura será producto del análisis de los diferentes textos, ésta debe reflejar una estructura textual definida, una intencionalidad específica y un adecuado conocimiento de los aspectos gramaticales, semánticos y ortográficos aprendidos. Cada estudiante tendrá una carpeta para organizar su trabajo de clase, ésta estará dividida en tres partes (talleres - producciones escritas, exámenes y material fotocopiado) De la misma forma, a la clase hay que traer los materiales básicos de trabajo como son el cuaderno y la cartuchera. Los estudiantes deben acceder a schoology para mantenerse al día con la información sobre los trabajos y tareas propuestas. Éstas serán fundamentalmente compromisos de lectura, re-escritura de textos y preguntas de anticipación.
SPANISH
MENU
La regla fundamental de la clase es el RESPETO MUTUO. Esto implica el cumplimiento de las normas institucionales (No comer en clase, no usar aparatos electrónicos, llegar puntualmente a las actividades, cumplir con el código del vestuario), de igual manera, se espera que los estudiantes escuchen la palabra del otro, participen activamente en la clase, y realicen las tareas de manera apropiada y en el tiempo estipulado. Además de las anteriores, son importantes las siguientes reglas específicas de la clase:
Traer los materiales necesarios para trabajar.
Entregar los trabajos personalmente al profesor de la materia y en el momento requerido, para evitar confusiones.
Si un estudiante necesite para sus producciones tomar información de alguna fuente, por ejemplo otro texto, esta debe ir entre comillas y se deben anotar los datos de donde se tomó.
Los estudiantes que necesiten refuerzo, pueden inscribirse en el formato específico o si el profesor lo requiere igualmente lo citará mínimo con un día de anticipación.
Llegar puntualmente a clase, si por alguna razón no puede hacerlo, deberá traer una constancia firmada.
La evaluación será continua, por lo tanto su carácter será formativo y sumativo. Esta evaluación les permitirá conocer sus logros, sus dificultades y desarrollar habilidades que les facilite avanzar en su aprendizaje. Centralmente se evaluará con: las lecturas y la comprensión de los diferentes textos seleccionados para la clase, las actividades realizadas en la clase, la participación activa, las producciones escritas, las exposiciones y el registro de notas de las diferentes actividades.

Course Description – 2015-2016 The Study skills program provides the opportunity for middle school students who are lagging behind on their daily activities to pursue and receive support in diverse study habits. Students will receive support in organizational skills like, making sure their materials are always handy and in working condition, note taking material is always complete and organized, and arrival to class is punctual. Students will also be assisted so that homework assignments are well done and on time, and note taking is pertinent and detailed. Those who attend study skills will be constantly encouraged to multitask, and to carry their tasks to completion. During their development in this area students will be motivated to start and remain on their activities independently so they will ultimately use these skills at home at their own will. All of the previous support cannot take place under any circumstance without the use of the students’ agenda. The use of the agenda for the purpose of recording in detail every task, assignment, homework, or project to be planned and executed is a must and the student must have it at all times. Agenda management for planning is probably the most important study skill the student has to learn and master because that is where it all begins. I will be attending your student´s classes to track their performance and assist them in their daily tasks to ensure that they are complying with their teachers’ assignments and goals. Class Structure (Subject to change based on individual class need) Bellwork: 5 min. of silent work. 5 min of review (10 min.) Introduction To New Material: 15 min. of instruction reviewing objectives from other classes. Will vary depending on class. Students will take notes and participate in instruction by asking and answering questions. Guided Practice: 15 min. of working on objectives covered during the introduction to new material. Teacher will walk around class and assist with questions. Project/Assistance/Organization: 30 min. to ensure success in other classes. Receiving assistance with study skills, projects, and graphic organizers. Organizing schedule and assignments. Receiving assistance from Ms. Avila on a specific skill that student is struggling to master. Exit Card: 5 min. quiz assessing the objective covered in the Power Up, Introduction to New Material, and Guided Practice. The quiz will be short. 5 min. to review objectives, provide closure, and pack up. (10 min. total)

Entendiendo la salud como el estado de bienestar físico, mental, social y la capacidad de adaptación de un individuo al medio en donde se encuentra, se debe considerar la salud como un recurso para la vida diaria, que permite a las personas llevar una vida individual, social y económicamente productiva. Cuando se aborda este tema, muchas personas consideran que “las cosas malas le pasan a otros”, pero cuando se encuentran involucrados en una situación extrema se preguntan ¿por qué a mí? La salud es un derecho universal y la educación o promoción de la misma es una necesidad. Este concepto aplicado a la adolescencia, el cual es el ciclo de vida con mayores cambios, permite educar y promocionar información dentro de un contexto positivo que permita a los adolescentes desarrollar comportamientos interrelacionados que promuevan la salud. La salud física y mental en esta etapa, depende en gran medida de cómo se asuman y encaucen los cambios biológicos, psicológicos, emocionales, sexuales y en el respeto mutuo a la integridad física y el desarrollo pleno de las capacidades personales. Durante el desarrollo del contenido del programa propuesto para el año lectivo, se tratarán temas que promuevan la promoción y prevención de la salud, a través de la educación y la responsabilidad tanto individual como colectiva. El enfoque que se tendrá debe partir desde el estudiante como promotor estratégico de su desarrollo y de la construcción participativa de la salud, teniendo en cuenta que muchos problemas relacionados con el tema durante la adolescencia obedecen a su personalidad, estilo de vida, desconocimiento, falta de información, entre otros. El contenido del programa está diseñado para educar a los estudiantes, de acuerdo con los siguientes estándares:
Entender la importancia de la nutrición y la actividad física con el fin de llevar una vida saludable
Crecimiento, desarrollo y salud sexual
Seguridad y prevención de lesiones
Prevención de sustancias psicoactivas: alcohol tabaco y otras drogas
Salud mental, social y emocional

FILOSOFIA DE LAS ARTES
El Arte es el espacio alterno del conocimiento en el que el estudiante explora, reflexiona y se sensibiliza frente a sí mismo y a su entorno. De esta manera desarrolla su pensamiento creativo y se enriquece espiritualmente. A través de la práctica de los diferentes lenguajes artísticos, el estudiante aprende técnicas y conceptos para desarrollar su potencial creativo.
Descripción del Curso
La clase de arte es un espacio de experimentación que le permite al estudiante seguir definiendo sus intereses plásticos. Entenderá que el arte no es sinónimo de belleza, sino reflejo de las inquietudes del Hombre según el espacio-tiempo que le corresponde. Conocerá la importancia de la Línea y se verá jugando con el espacio pictórico teniendo en cuenta conceptos compositivos básicos. Investigará para comprender características de su propio trabajo haciendo de la Historia del Arte un tema con el cual se puede identificar. El Trabajo Final es libre en cuanto a técnica y tema porque es reflejo del interés particular de cada estudiante. Hay un porcentaje alto de estudiantes que ha escogido tomar Arte de nuevo y busca en este espacio aclarar conceptos de la plástica así como definir sus intereses personales en la misma. De esta manera me veo en la obligación de hacer unas propuestas que permiten ahondar en conceptos así como presentarlos por vez primera a algunos de los estudiantes.
Objetivo General
El estudiante logrará RE-conocer, a través de procesos de sensibilización, intelectualización y escritura, el pensamiento CREATIVO que constituye el arte. Estos procesos serán producto de ejercicios diversos donde los estudiantes se relacionan con diferentes materiales y herramientas. Expectativa Se espera que el estudiante gradualmente encuentre su manera particular de proponer ideas plásticas teniendo en cuenta el desarrollo intelectual de las mismas como complemento inseparable del proceso creativo. ESTÁNDARES para ser evaluados en el transcurso del año: 1. Conoce y maneja materiales y técnicas logrando expresarse artísticamente 2. Maneja habilidades y conceptos compositivos por medio del trabajo plástico 3. Se expresa de manera creativa por medio del arte 4. Comprende manifestaciones artísticas a través de la historia/cultura y tiene un sentido crítico/interpretativo de su trabajo y el trabajo de sus compañeros 5. Establece conexiones entre el arte y otras disciplinas 6. Tiene una actitud positiva y comprometida en clase
Materiales
El estudiante recibirá la lista de materiales necesarios para llevar a cabo los ejercicios en clase. Para su propuesta individual, el estudiante es libre de escoger el material que utilizará así como responsable de conseguirlo. Esto se debe a que su proyecto puede diferir del de sus compañeros en cuanto a técnica y dimensiones. Tener sus propios materiales también les ayuda a responsabilizarse por ellos

El hombre de Vitruvio (Leonardo Da Vinci).
DESCRIPCIÓN.
Hablar de valores en el mundo de hoy, debe llevarnos a dos reflexiones casi antagónicas, pero que en el fondo son ciertas: 1. nunca como hoy el hombre había encontrado tantas respuestas a su existencia y a su entorno, nunca la reflexión sobre el hombre había ocupado tanto protagonismo, ni el hombre había tenido tantos medios técnicos a su disposición para mejorar su vida, lo que debería llevarnos a concluir que vivimos en un mundo casi paradisíaco. Pero no es así, 2.el hombre ha perdido dominio sobre sí mismo. En el siglo de las grandes corrientes humanistas y existencialistas, el hombre se ha convertido en depredador de su propia raza. Es la época que más atropellos ha sufrido la existencia humana, y en la que la cultura humana ha estado tan en peligro de ser extinguida por sus semejantes. El curso de Filosofía y Ética tratará de incentivar en el alumno del Colegio Bolívar, una búsqueda por las respuestas fundamentales de la existencia humana, para que comprendan que su vida no se reduce a lo meramente material y que existe en cada uno de ellos un anhelo de felicidad que los llama al rescate de sus valores morales y espirituales. De allí que el programa Filosofía y Ética tenga como uno de sus objetivos principales, crear en los alumnos del Colegio Bolívar, conciencia de la necesidad de ser críticos y reflexivos frente a su propia existencia y el mundo que los rodea, llegando así a reconocer la necesidad de relacionarse con los otros seres humanos de forma pacífica, reconociendo en cada uno su dignidad como seres humanos y por tanto el respeto que se merecen.
ESTANDARES
1. Desarrolla la capacidad crítica 2. Desarrolla la reflexión sobre la moralidad. 3. Comprende la influencia de la filosofía en la historia. 4. Desarrolla la habilidad comunicativa. 5. Favorece la dinámica escolar para el aprendizaje. 6. comprende el sentido de ser ciudadano en un estado democrático

In MUN we simulate, we ‘pretend’ to do what the UN does and that is to resolve situations that unsettle the peace of the world. Once we receive the formal invitations for the various models we will attend, students will know exactly what commissions or agencies and what countries we are going to represent. From this point forward the students will research about their specific situation and work to become the best delegate possible. To succeed, students will be provided with contextual information, will receive a daily feedback, also a historic view of issues related to their specific commission and country. This course will include current events, pressing international issues, the basic of international law and some protocol and procedures of diplomacy. A side, MUN delegates will be able to grow in their research skills and abilities to craft arguments, practice public speaking, and expand their knowledge in Human Rights and big political issues. Responsibilities: Students will be responsible for attending all classes ready to get on task as soon as possible. Students must attend all MUN activities, and actively participate in classroom activities such as debates, discussion groups, and research, which should be viewed as training workshops. Students will be asked to complete several class assignments throughout the school year. Students will work in groups (depending on their commission, country assigned and/or issues to solve) and be held accountable for the quality of their work and their contribution to the class. If you run out of tasks to do, you are expected to find something related to the class to work on. Helping classmates is expected, not only if they are in a similar situation as yours, but any time possible so you can acknowledge as different perspectives as possible that will enrich debating skills. Grading: Grades will be based on a 4 point system, and students will receive a performance grade. The performance grade will be based on class assignments, committee presentations and projects, and most importantly, participation in and out of class. Class Materials:
- Agenda /Calendar
- Binder / notebook (with folder)
- Writing utensils
- Any materials necessary based on your country and commissions.
