Once again, we have explored Christmas traditions in different parts of the world and have produced a little presentation of our work. Enjoy!!!
Classe IC - Liceo Scientifico, A.S. 2019/20 (prof. Pistillo)
This year our class has worked on an intercultural project called "Christmas around the World", to explore different traditions related to the world's favourite holiday.
We prepared some questions, which were answered by speakers in several countries. We then watched their videos and produced our little research project.
After the demonstration on 27th September, we responded to a questionnaire on our perception of the event. Here we analyse and Fridays for Future describe the resulting charts.
Classi II C e IV C Liceo Scientifico (Prof. Pistillo)
This is the product of a project focussing on English as the global language: we explored the historical, economic and political reasons that led to the establishment of English as a lingua franca in our world.
To complement our language work, we produced a world map highlighting English-speaking countries and the main data about these countries: this poster is now hung in the school hall.
Grease: the musical
On 26th November some students of our school went to Salerno to see a wonderful theatrical representation of the musical "Grease" in English.
The actors were very good at acting and singing simultaneously! After the end of the musical, we walked on the main street of Salerno and when it got dark, we looked at fantastic Christmas lights at the top and on the sides of the road.
Surely it was a pleasant experience for everyone!

Special thanks to prof. Mariarosa Pisaniello for organising this event!

Progetto di continuità
Nell'ambito delle attività di continuità tra le classi terze della scuola media e la scuola superiore, le classi IA del Liceo Classico, IC del Liceo Scientifico e IV SIA dell'Istituto Tecnico hanno realizzato una versione in inglese e francese dei principali punti del Regolamento di Istituto. Le classi sono state guidate dalle proff. Mariarosa Pisaniello e Giovanna Pistillo (Lingua inglese) ed Enrica Ucci (Lingua francese).

INTRODUCTION
The following poem, entirely focused on human nature and life, presents the different stages of the latter, its main periods, from birth to the inevitable death, combined with the caducity of life, always looming over us, and the events and feelings related to it. In the background we can see “His Majesty”, time, always present, and always, at the same time, decisive, forcing us not to believe in it and obliging us to concentrate only on the present, our only certainty in this turbulent and unpredictable existence.
THE POEM
That stunning stutter, that stainless stability, all the hearts guarded;
life, c’mon, has just started.
All the words, all the love, all the hatred as black as a swan;
yet, c’mon, life goes on.
All the dangers, all the risks taken, all the things mistaken;
yet, c’mon, life goes on.
All the wars, all the treaties, all the victories, all the crisis, all the places shaken;
yet, c’mon, life goes on.
All the difficulties, all the joys, all the people you have relied on;
yet, c’mon, life goes on.
However, when you finally feel great, when you finally feel at the top,
life has just got to stop.

INTRODUCTION
A personal poem, full of memories and emotions, to relive those moments that never come back, but that are engraved in my heart!
A THOUSAND MEMORIES
Take me back to the night we met
to relive that wonderful moment.
We spent a lot of time togheter
almost to seem like forever!
Your sweetness was like the golden hour of summer
but then you got lost a drop of water.
Our story is over
and I can still smell your perfume on my pullover
3°classificato: Taddeo Francesco e Cinquegrana Luigi
Introduction
The aim of my poem is to make us reflect on the meaning of money for its own sake, compared to situations related to qualities or events, which are beyond our control, but which affect everyone directly or indirectly, such as time, sleep, but also endurance in facing an uncomfortable event that takes us out of our comfort zone.
Somehow, I invite everyone to reflect on how this poem can go on for good.
Money
Money is essential but not so essential that it hides the virtues that make us great…
with money you can buy a bed
but you can’t buy sleep…
with money you can buy a book
but you can’t buy the desire to learn…
with money you can buy a clock
but you can’t buy time…
with money you can buy a bilance
but you can’t buy a temperance…
with money you can buy a bike
but you can’t buy endurance and perseverance…
I wrote this poem simply looking around me…
Taddeo Francesco
INTRODUCTION
Time is a recurring theme in our lives, it’s a force we often, unsuccessfully,try to control. Having just 2 years of school left, I felt inspired by time to compose this poem: it may sound pessimistic at first, but the real meaning I intended to convey in my verses is nothing like that. My real purpose was to invite everyone to be careful of how they handle their time, but to not worry or despair about it, because time,whether we like it or not, is necessary and without it our lives wouldn’t have much sense at all.
Marching arrow...
Time, He runs fast as fast as light...
And when you realise, it ain’t no delight.
Many things can stop and change,
but not Time… Time is always the same.
He has been here since the very start,
and He’s gonna stay till we all just STOP. . . .
To determine life and death is what He likes the most,
so we shall obey Him, before He turns us into ghosts.
“Time is so confusing…”, I heard an old man say,
“Grew 40 years of age, but it's only been a day!”
Weeks go by so quickly you don’t even think about it,
but then you do, and cry so much it becomes an habit.
Do not despair my friends, that won’t be of use…
Just try and enjoy your time, without any abuse.
Time does come off as evil and obscure…
But He’s just part of life, so go on and take some cure!
“Alright, believe it or not, time's arrow neither stands still nor reverses. It merely marches forward.”
Luigi Cinquegrana
