A trip around the world
This document outlines the aims, work process, tasks, and expected results of a student project to develop understanding of European and extra-European countries. The main aims are to overcome geographical obstacles and enhance intercultural understanding through developing skills like European citizenship, knowledge of other cultures, communication in English, teamwork, and use of information technology. Students will introduce their own countries, research other European countries in groups, and share their findings in a public online space or publication. The end goal is to create educational materials to promote cultural learning.
Andromache 2
Andromache is Hector's wife in Greek mythology who is a prominent figure representing the tragic fate of losing family. Throughout literature and art, Andromache is depicted as a passionate wife and mother who is desperate after Hector's death, becoming a symbol of the woman separated from her loved ones. She maintains her dignity and strength of character despite becoming a slave after Troy falls. Andromache represents an early step toward a more modern female figure as she is also involved in defending Troy rather than confined to domestic duties alone.
Ajax Telamonius
Ajax is a legendary Greek warrior and son of Telamon. He is described as the strongest and bravest of the Greek armies after Achilles. In the Iliad, Ajax engages in heroic battles against Hector. After Achilles' death, Ajax and Odysseus compete for Achilles' armor, but Odysseus is chosen, humiliating Ajax. In a fit of madness, Ajax plans to kill the Greek leaders but instead kills himself in shame. The story of Ajax represents the debate between strength and cunning as virtues of warriors, and his tragic fate symbolizes the end of the era of individual heroes in war.
Achilles
Achilles was a demigod hero of Greek mythology and the central character of Homer's Iliad. He was the son of the mortal Peleus and the Nereid Thetis. Achilles was renowned for his strength, courage and fighting skills. He was trained from a young age by the centaur Chiron and fought for the Greeks in the Trojan War. Achilles refused to fight after being dishonored by Agamemnon, which nearly led to the Greeks' defeat until his friend Patroclus was killed, prompting Achilles to reenter the war and slay Hector in revenge. Achilles was ultimately killed by an arrow to his vulnerable heel, as foretold by prophecies.
Andromache
Andromache was the wife of Hector and mother to Astyanax in Troy. According to legend, she was kidnapped and forced to marry Hector. She bore him a son, Astyanax, and loved Hector despite their forced marriage. Andromache had already suffered through the pain of war, with Achilles killing her father and brothers. When Troy fell, Andromache was enslaved by the king of Epirus and became his concubine, bearing him three children, though she never forgot her love for Hector.
Odysseus
The document summarizes the ancient Greek epic poem The Odyssey, which tells the story of Odysseus's long journey home after the Trojan War. It describes Odysseus as the main character of the poem and outlines the major stages of his journey, including being shipwrecked on the island of the cyclops Polyphemus, meeting the princess Nausicaa in the land of the Phaeacians, and finally returning home to Ithaca to defeat the suitors who had occupied his palace in his long absence.
Settimius Severus (English)
1) Lucius Septimius Severus was a Roman emperor who rose to power with military support. He instituted major military and administrative reforms, increasing the size of the legions and favoring soldiers of provincial origin.
2) To fund his large military expenditures, he debased the currency by reducing the precious metal content of coins. This led to inflation.
3) He undertook two successful campaigns against the Parthian Empire, expanding Roman territories in the east. He left legions stationed near Rome for further defense.
Claudio (English)

As emperor, he reorganized the administration, improved finances, and expanded the empire through military conquests. He established new provinces in Britain, Mauretania, Thrace, and Lycia. Claudius also improved infrastructure and accepted provincials into the Senate. However, his wife Messalina conspired against him and was killed. His new wife Agrippina then poisoned Claudius to make her son Nero the next emperor.
Caracalla

Appetito vien leggendo giulia
- 1. Giulia IV A
- 2. Si dice di persona magra (magro come un baccalà), e deriva dal fatto che il baccalà è un merluzzo disossato, essiccato e salato. Ma essere un baccalà, far la figura di un baccalà viene usato nel senso di apparire sciocco, goffo; e questo forse perché il baccalà, prima di essere cucinato, è tenuto a bagno e battuto a lungo per renderne tenera la carne.
- 3. Essere troppo giovane e immaturo per fare qualcosa, nonché arrogarsi il diritto di dar consigli a persone di maggior esperienza.
- 4. In genere se ne lamenta la scarsezza: avere poco sale in zucca, a rimprovero di chi manca di intelligenza e soprattutto di buon senso. Zucca è sinonimo di “testa”, e sulla testa del battezzando il sacerdote pone un pizzico di “sale della sapienza”. In una zucca vuota e disseccata, inoltre, un tempo si usava conservare il sale. Questa sembra la duplice origine della locuzione.
- 5. Essere stupido, goffo, inetto. Dal nome di quella varietà di cavolo che prospera soprattutto nella campagna romana.
- 6. Di avvenimento, decisione importante, che si sta preparando in segreto. “Tu non sai quello che bolle in pentola”, e simili .
- 7. Dal gergo sportivo, avere molta energia, prontezza di decisione e rapidità di azione. È diffusa anche l’espressione a tutta birra, ossia con grande impeto, a grande velocità. Ciò si deve forse alle salutari virtù attribuite alla bevanda
