Tim Burton's Vincent Malloy, a Short Horror Film
Vincent Malloy is a young boy whose dream is to be just like Vincent Price... And who's Vincent Price? Well, he was a famous actor from Hollywood back in the 40s and 50s... but most significantly the voice-over on Michael Jackson's Thriller videoclip. Who can possibly ever forget that eerie rap?
Before watching it, please open the gapped transcript and try to figure out the missing ending words in each verse. You'll see it's just a piece of cake. After that, watch the video to check your guesses.
Happy Halloween!

Ellen's Lesson to Share: Know Thyself, as inscribed in the Oracle of Delphi
"Know Thyself" (Gnothi Seauton in Ancient Greek) was a
maxim inscribed at the entrance of the Temple of Apollo in ancient Delphi, a
site of a famous oracle. It was a command for those who sought divine counsel
to understand their own human limitations and place in the world, rather than
simply focusing on external answers. The inscription served as a reminder that
true wisdom begins with self-knowledge before, during, or after consulting the
oracle.
Thanks for your enriching visit, Ellen!

I Am On Strike For Palestine
Dear students,
I am on strike today against the genocide and apartheid of the Palestinian people. Therefore, our bookclub is pushed back for next Monday, October 20th.
Nevertheless, I will be at the school from 5pm on to raise awareness of the situation of the Palestinian people right now, and what we can do about it. For everybody that would like to swing by, you´ll find me at the entrance stairs.
