BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

'Goblin mode' is no illusion, but a reality!!

 What is 'a goblin'?
This would be a possible definition: (in folklore and fantasy fiction) a mischievous, ugly creature resembling a dwarf.

 

What does 'goblin mode' mean? I'll give you some clues: it is related with people and what happened during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Here's my musical hint connected with the issue: Just an illusion by Imagination. Here's a version with the lyrics for you to sing along!!

 


 

And if you are a goblin and like living on your own, you'd better learn how to make a sandwich yourself:

 


 

Can you tell me how you make yourself your favourite sandwich (remember to use the PASSIVE VOICE if you are in 4º ESO) ?

  1. The word 'goblin' comes from the Germanic language and Old English. Both derive from the Germanic word gadi, which means 'to beg.' This suggests that the original meaning of 'galdan' was 'to beg' or 'to request.' The word originated as an A.N.D.A. translation of the Greek name Gk. Gobinos.

    Although the concept of goblins originates in the Greek mythology, some wise people think that the original form of this term mean they were bad and strange animals. In my opinion I don't like them very much, because of their appearance and because of what they talk about them

    "Goblin mode" is a type of behavior that is lazy, lazy, or selfish in a way that rejects social norms and expectations." Its ugly.
    Also known as green dwarfs, goblins are very cheeky, which is why they are also used in fantasy movies.

  6. Small, ugly beings, with serious dental problems, naughty, greedy, clever, snide and generally green-skinned, the goblins are fantastic creatures which we have described for hundred of years wiht these characteristics and many others.

    For his part, the oldest register of the word "goblin" comes from the 14th century, in the late Middle Ages. However, its original root comes from further back, at least from the 12th century with the Latin "cabalus" or "gobalus", deriving from Greek "kobalos" (means errant or rogue). From there, it evolved into "gobelinus", and then to the Normain "gobelin" and Old French, and finally arriving to Spanish.

    These creatures they have hundred of years of existence, the problem is that they arose orally from stories and tales. For this reason, the exact date of the beginning of these being in European culture is unknown. Some historians say that the goblin it's a mix between Celtic creatures, as the Irish leprechaun and the Scottish brownie, with others like the kobold, which comes from Germanic folklore; others, in contrast, insist that it derives only from the Celts, and what a time later, was adopted by the Anglo-Saxons.
