Καλαματιανός

Ο καλαματιανός, είναι ένας συρτός χορός που χορεύεται σ’ ολόκληρη την Ελλάδα, διαφοροποιούμενος ελάχιστα, σε ότι αφορά το ύφος του και το ρυθμό. Το χορευτικό του μοτίβο απαρτίζεται από 12 κινήσεις που χορεύονται συγχρόνως απ’ όλους τους χορευτές. και επαναλαμβάνονται σ’ όλη τη διάρκεια του χορού, στρωτά για τις γυναίκες και λίγο πιο πηδηχτά για τους άνδρες.
Μόνο ο πρωτοχορευτής μπορεί να παραλλάζει τα βασικά βήματα του χορού, συνήθως με μια στροφή δεξιά. Ο συρτός φαίνεται πως προέρχεται από την αρχαία εποχή. Σχετικά με την προέλευση της ονομασίας του φαίνεται πως οφείλεται στα λόγια του τραγουδιού «σαν πας στην Καλαμάτα…» με αναφορά στο μαντήλι, ιερό σύμβολο κάθε παραδοσιακής γαμήλιας τελετής.

Express Yourself LIVE


video conference with www.stickam.com
Your students should write comments similar to this one in the presentation of my students. So My students are a reading comprehension activity for yours and vice versa.
I think it is similar but easier.

Plus I definitely think they should email one another after the presentations. etwining allow us to do it if some of them don’t have an account.

Hello,I am Evagelia and I think you are María. It would be nice to meet you in Greece. I also like pop-rock and shopping, but my mum says it is an expensive hobby.See you.

Presentation

Hi!
I’m a 15 year old girl. My height is medium and I’ve got long wavy brown hair. My face is oval and my eyes are brown and green. Talking about clothing, I usually wear casual clothes except when I hung out with friends. I’m often nice and friendly, but I have to admit that I’m sometimes a bit stubborn and shy. Although when people meet me, quite a lot of them think that I’m not shy! My hobbies are listening to music - I like any kind of music but my favourite one is pop-rock-, going shopping, going to the cinema to see the last premieres, dancing, surfing the internet, etc.I live in a city called Badalona with my parents and a brother older than me. It’s a beautiful city where you can do a lot of things because it has many facilities like: shopping centres, sports centre, etc. It also has a beautiful promenade by the sea front and a bicycle path. Even though, the most famous place is the “Pavelló Olimpic de Badalona”. A basketball team, called “DKV Juventud”, plays there. It’s also used for gigs.My high school is near my house. It’s about 10 minutes. It’s a big building made of brick and it has 3 floors. The playground is large and we go there for break time. There are many students studying here that come from several places of the world. It’s great because you can know other cultures which are different from yours! In the photo I’m sitting in the front row. I’m wearing jeans and a black top. I’m wearing my hair off in a ponytail.
Who do you think I am?

Doble click on us and you'll see our names.

Fotini, I think this first activity, even if it was my idea, is a bit too complicated. I've been thinking of something similar but easier. What about if we write something like:

You are now going to see a picture of the students from Badalona. You can see their names if you click on them. They are going to write their presentations immediately after. They are not going to tell us their names. They are only going to give us their description and where they are in the picture. You have to guess who they are and match the description with a student in the picture. Once you think you know who he or she is tell him or her in the comments.

What do you think?
