Seven Wonders of the ancient  and new world!

Hello there boys and girls!
In the Antiquity, greeks historians selected several monuments around the known world. They thought that these marvelous buildings were the summum of the human expresion and art. Some of them disappeared a long time ago, for example: 

  • The colossus of Rhodes  
  • The lighthouse of Alexandria

Other ones remain throught centuries, for example:
  • The pyramid of Gizah


We are doing a special activity in class about the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but you have to know that, nowadays, a lot of artists, historians, philosophers, etc... think that there are another Seven Wonders of actual world......

You can find the New Seven Wonders of the world here

LA MITOLOGÍA Y EL AMOR

En clase, hemos estudiado la definición de mito y hemos leído el origen y la historia de algunos de ellos. Por otro lado, como ya sabéis, el 14 de febrero se celebra el Día de San Valentín. Estos dos hechos tienen una relación muy próxima porque:

1. ¿Recuerdas el nombre griego del dios del amor?
2. ¿Y el romano?
3. ¿Son diferentes? ¿Por qué?
4. Nombra otro mito y explica por qué te atrae su historia.
