The collage shows one of the oldest celebrations in La Plata: The burning of dolls at night on 31st December.
People build the dolls of cardboard, paper and wood, inside the dolls people hide fireworks. In the night of December 31st, in the early hours of the January 1st, the dolls are burned up and the fireworks are lighted and illuminate this night of celebration.
Several months before that night people start to think about what character or subject will be represented. Just then the construction begins.
This celebration is an institution in the city, every year the municipality of La Plata rewards those who built the best doll of the city with a cash prize.
Welcome to this blog for teachers and students in the adult courses at Escuela de Lenguas UNLP. We have created this space to share the ICT projects we are implementing in our classes. We hope you find these ideas useful!

Adults 3 B- Prof. Julieta Amorabieta
The 19th of November, the city of La Plata remembers its birthday. It
was founded in 1882 by Dardo Rocha, who was the governor of Buenos
Aires. The idea to create a new city was born when the politicians
decided to separate the capital city of the country from the capital
city of the
Buenos Aires.
The most important buildings and the outline of the city was designed by Pedro Benoit following the concepts at that moment.
A curious tip: during the party of its 100 years, a big cake was made and distributed among the public.
