Science Entry:
For Science we are studying the book "Electricity and Magnetism". Mr.S, our teacher, assigned us a science project in which we do eight to ten minutes video. I am in group with Elena and Stefania.
Our topic is magnetism. In our video we do several experiments and we try to explain how magnets work and how they are made.
Each magnet has it's negative and positive pole . Each negative pole attracts it's own positive pole. If you put two negative poles, they will repel. Instead a negative and a positive pole attract. Magnets have their own magnetic field that are mapped by the magnetic field lines. Magnetic field lines spread out from one pole, curve around a magnet, and return to the other pole. A cluster of billions of atoms that all have magnetic fields that are lined up in the same way is known as a magnetic domain . Every magnet has it's magnetic domain alined to attach to ferromagnetic things.

Italian Entry:
We have Italian lessons every day and they are divided in three sections: Narrativa, during which we read books that teach us how the world is going on, Italian Grammar, and Italian Literature. For Narrativa we are reading "Stranieri Come Noi" written by Vittorio Zucconi. This book is made of a lot of different adventures that happened to the author.
The story that I liked the most was: "Italy: The Witch". It's a story about an old woman that decided to leave herself die smoking so much to get emphisema. The old woman lived in a tunnel through which some girls went every morning to go to school. Those girls called the woman the "Witch" and they were afraid of her. One day the "Witch" went to the Ospital and one of the girls asked to a man that knew the "Witch", to tell to her what happened to the "Witch". So that girl, feeling sorry for that woman, decided to make her start to live again.

Extra Italian Entry:
Durante le ore di Extra Italia studiamo L'Odissea. Siamo tre studenti dalla terza media, sei provengono dalla seconda media e due vengono dalla prima media. La professoressa Vermigli, la nostra insegnante, in queste dodici settimane cerca di spiegarci le diverse avventure di Ulisse attraverso l'Odissea.
Per diverse lezioni abbiamo guardato l'Odissea in DVD. Il protagonista dell'Odissea è Ulisse, re di Itaca, e l'Odissea è incentrata sulle avventure di Ulisse dopo la guerra di Troia. Ulisse, subito dopo aver invaso Troia con il suo ingenioso Cavallo di Troia, credendosi un Dio, ha offeso il Dio Nettuno. Poi, per cercare di tornare a Itaca da sua moglie e suo figlio, Ulisse viene trasportato al largo da Nettuno, e si perde. Ulisse viene nuovamente manipolato da diversi Dei che lo usano per i loro capricci. Ulisse va a finire nell'Isola delle Capre, dove vivono i Ciclopi, e dalla maga Circe, ma alla fine, dopo vent'anni lontano da casa, ritrova la sua amata Itaca e comprende anche che gli uomini senza il favore degli Dei, non sarebbero nulla.
