School year 2013/14: Being tough

Hi again!

It's hard to start the new year, isn't it? .
We have to be
and

The groups of 3º ESO are working on a unit about expressing feelings and face reading these days.
We' ve just read a text about an albino girl and how she has managed to grow stronger and to face cruel comments and rude reactions from others.
 
Yesterday we commented about other examples of people we admire for their strength and RESILIENCE:
My example is Malala.
 
"Resilience" is a technical word which comes from physics and refers to a feature of some materials which can absorb energy and then can also release it, so it's kind of being flexible and strong at the same time.
The term was borrowed by psychologists to refer to a human being's ability to cope with adversity.
 
See the works by French psychiatrist Boris Cyrulnik (Ugly Ducklings), and read his biography to learn more about Resilience.
