The cinema project
On 28-11-08 we began a two week cinema project
that consisted of several theatre shows and films.
These events were seen
outside of school at a cinema and a theatre of L’Aquila.
The purpose of this
project was to increase students’ awareness to social problems and drug taking.
We have already seen a film about pollution, one about D’Annunzio, one of the major Italian poets. But the film that interested us more than the others is surely
“We, the Berlin’s zoo guys” (we don’t know if the title is translated rightly but maybe you know the book). It is a film based on
a shocking autobiography by Crhistiane F. At the tender age of 13 she loses
herself in the destructive world of heroin.
It’s sat in a grey and depressing
suburb of Berlin, in the ‘80s.
There boredom reigns and teenagers fill their
desperate lives with heroin.
This film is so moving, you’ll cry for sure but
you are left with a love for life without dependency on drugs.
After the film we had a very interesting debate and we think that all the teenagers should have a moment to reflect about this serious problem.

A new experience
Last Wednesday she opened the door...
We're speaking about Isabel Cullen! How nice she is! A 16 year old girl who came here in Italy to study Italian, with a cultural exchange program! She comes from Perth in western Australia. We are really happy to host this friendly girl in our class for two months. She's staying with a family that takes part in this international project. But, just think about that: she has flown for 18 hours! What a stressful and long journey! What else can we say? We really like her, she's very pretty and now she is part of our class. We speak in English with her, of course, but she attends all our lessons and naturally she helps us not only for English but also for German, that she can speak well. We would like to make a similar experience in our future.

Something about our school
Our school is located near "Fontana Luminosa" and the castle, just in the centre of l'Aquila.
It is called ITASS "Elena di Savoia".
We are 350 students (but only 20 boys!!!). So the boys are very lucky, but the girls not very much.
Those who love scientific subjects attend the biological branch, where there is a lot of maths, chemistry, biology, science etc...
Those who are fond of foreign languages attend the linguistic branch, where they study mostly: Spanish, French, English and German. Another branch is "social activities" that is a more pratical course where you can study psicology, aliments, healthy and junk food, diets, illnesses and how to give disable people the means to work, live and comunicate in social life.
All the students in our school attend the lessons from Monday to Saturday from 8:20 to 13:30.
There are no lessons in the afternoon, but some projects: etwinning is one of them, as well as sport activities, theatre etc...
We assure you that our male teachers are very handosome but they are few, the female teachers are nice and young in spirit. This is why we make a lot of projects.
