History of Magic 501: An Introduction - Why Study History?

Les pedimos a los niños y niñas de 5º que traigan sus agendas decoradas de casa. Pueden usar las de años anteriores o decorar una nueva o comprar una 

 

 

Comenzamos la primera lección del curso como todos los años decorando nuestras corbatas
Pero primero vamos a ver unos vídeos recordando la historia de Hogwarts

Para este año los alumnos pueden usar telas para envolver la corbata que previamente han recortado de una cartulina o de un folio de goma eva. Después al igual que otros años pegaran el escudo de su respectiva casa o las rayas que decoran la corbata (este año pueden usar cola o silicona) 

Vamos a por nuestra primera lección. Para ello vamos a pedir a nuestr@s alumn@s que redacten una pequeña introducción sobre ellos y por qué han sido seleccionados en nuestro colegio. Para ello podemos darles unas pistas sobre como queremos que sea nuestra presentación. Sobre todo hay que aclarar que es algo informal.
Por supuesto dependiendo del nivel o del curso podemos hacer la composición mas o menos complicada y deberán dar mas o menos detalles

Hello my dear Students. Welcome to our fifth year at Hogwarts school. This year I expect amazing things about you. We are in the last cycle of our learning process and I hope you become the Great Wizards and Witches you are destinated to be

As first assigment like the years before I want you to decorate your own ties. You have all the material you need on your tables.
This year you will have to use different fabrics with different colours to swathe or wrap your own tie. 

 

 

Hello and welcome to your very first course in History of Magic. I don’t imagine many students are thrilled to take this class, but I’d like to think that in some way shape or form I can make it as enjoyable as possible. 

This year we willbe lving behind the History of Hogwarts in order to get more aquitance with the old and modern History of Magic. 

Some of you may have noticed that there is a book in the library titled "A History of Magic" that was written by Bathilda Bagshot.  We will be using it for this course. You are welcome to read it and inmerse yourself into the seas of the old and modern magic events and happenigns.

I highly encourage each of you to take notes for this class, and others, that will aid in your ability to grasp the material presented. While it is not necessary to do well with notes, you may find that you learn more and will have an easier time when it comes to the final exam in this year and future years

A History Of Magic

Chapter 2 of 24

Why Study History?

Magic is the unspoken reason for everything, as any schooling witch and wizard would know. Following the introduction of the 1692 International Statue of Secrecy, which sent Wizardkind into hiding and forced us to adapt to the Muggle way of life, our place in the history of mankind has been hidden from the Muggle historians.

Magical historians believe that magic has its roots long before the documentation of human existence.Quite a number of discoveries have been made in mountain ranges in the Himalayas and the Canadian mountains where wizard archaeologists have uncovered cave dwellings that depict signs of magical influence in the lives of the dwellers that used to live there. Magic always leaves traces, and the caves were full of magical presence

Wizards have always been an influence to society-building. As future society-builders, young wizards must immerse themselves in our history and enhance the development of Wizarding kind. Our success as a society lies in our ability to promote our good values and hinder the growth of our bad beings. Indeed, the magical community, like any other community, is prone to success and failure, but knowledge of our past will prepare us for future endeavours. An example of this would be the Wand Wars during the 1500s. Many witches and wizards died in an effort to protect the ancient secrets of wandlore from the Muggles who sought to acquire it. Witch-hunting was rampant then, and the fate of our treasured wands was left to the hands of our able wizard ancestors who ran into hiding, while their wives, sisters, daughters sacrificed their lives for their escape.

As second assigment I want you to write a small essay as an Introduction about yourself. You can follow the next tips:

- Your name and what you do best (it doesn´t have to be related to magic, it can be anything)
- Which Hogwarts House have you been sorted to?
- What subject is your favourite?
- What do you know about Hogwarts?
- Which is your favourite subject here at Hogwarts? Why?
- What do you want to learn in this school
- What do you want to become when you finish the school?

Please dedicate 2 or 3 paragraphs to this portion (75-100 words). A paragraph should be at least 4-5 sentences each. You can use your agendas or you can write a small essay in a piece of pergamine paper
