What do you have in your house?
¿Qué tienes en tu casa?
En tu baño ¿tienes una bañera? ¿Tienes un lavabo?
En tu alcoba, ¿tienes un armario? ¿Una cómoda? ¿Y una cama tuya?
Si tienes esas cosas en tu casa, eres rico.
El Salvador es uno de los paises más pobres de latinoamerica. Su capital es San Salvador y allá viven 1.500.000 de personas. Muchas de esas personas viven en los barrios pobres, y no tienen muchas cosas. Muchos de ellos viven en casas muy malas, con paredes de cartón. Hace mucho calor en San Salvador entonces no necesitan aislar contra el frio(insulate against the cold), pero cuando llueve es muy peligroso. A veces hay terremotos y esos es terrible para las personas que viven en San Salvador. Pierden todas sus pocas cosas, y algunas personas pierden sus vidas también.
Mira al siguiente video, y después lee la letra.
Que triste se oye la lluvia
en los techos de cartón
que triste vive mi gente
en las casas de cartón
Viene bajando el obrero
casi arrastrando sus pasos
por el peso del sufirir
mira que es mucho sufrir
mira que pesa el sufrir
Arriba deja la mujer preñada
abajo está la ciudad
y se pierde en su maraña
Hoy es lo mismo de ayer
es un mundo sin mañana
Que triste se oye la lluvia
en los techos de carton
que triste vive mi gente
en las casas de cartón
Niños color de mi tierra
con sus mismas cicatrices
millonarios de lombrices
y por eso
que tristes viven los niños
en las casas de cartón
Que triste se oye la lluvia
en los techos de cartón
que triste vive mi gente
en las casas de cartón
Usted no lo va a creer
pero hay escuelas de perros
y les dan educacion
pa que no muerdan los diarios
pero el patron hace años
muchos años que
esta mordiendo al obrero
Que triste se oye la lluvia
en los techos de cartón
que lejos pasa una esperanza
en las casas de cartón

I really enjoyed this lesson. I didn't see a quiz option though - so if there was I would suggest making it a little easier to find.
ReplyDeletethe song was pretty but the video was really sad I wish there was more we can do for those poor people.
ReplyDeletethats so sad. =/ i take for granted how good i have it.
ReplyDeletedid you ever go to el salvador? how does it compare to honduras?
ReplyDeleteI think this lesson was very eye opening and shows us how much we take for granted

This just goes to show you that the World can be a very cruel place, it is also an eye opener to the many different experiences which people can have during the coarse of their lives.
ReplyDeletewow, thats really something most people DON'T think about; but it really is something they should
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone else, this lesson was a real eye opener. It made me stop and think about just how good some of us have it. It is so sad.
ReplyDeleteThis lesson made me more thankful for the things that I have, and made me realize all the little things many of us take for granted.
ReplyDeleteVery informative once again and a great way to learn. I prefer this approach rather than reading from the book.
ReplyDeleteTHE VIDEO WAS REALLY INTERESTING. IT MAKES US REALIZE HOW WE SHOULD SERVE OTHERS WHO ARE IN NEED. THE WHOLE LESSON WAS HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY BY BEING ABLE TO CLICK ON THE WORDS THAT ARE IN RED, SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW TO SAY THEM AND THEIR MEANING.

Muy triste. Its sad to see what really goes on in the world. We don't know how fortunate wereally are. Although it was sad, i really enjoyed watching the video.
ReplyDeleteGoodness...
ReplyDeleteIronically, as I was examining this page, a commercial for those Ferroh Rochet chocolate things came on. I feel guilty.
You know, I hate to sound like a bitch here, but truthfully, 90% of the world's problems would be solved if people just stopped having so many kids, and if the entire world adopted programs to keep thier populations down.
The video was really sad but the lesson was useful and it was good that we could click on the words if we didn't know them.
ReplyDeleteI liked the assignment overall. It really made me think how much I take things for granted. It was also good that we could learn some vocab at the same time by clicking on the words.
ReplyDeleteIt really makes you realize that the world we live in is so far different from the one so many more people live in. In a way it reminds me of the movie Metropolis

I like being able to see what life is like in different countries. It is hard to believe how much we have and how different our customs are compared to other places. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteHannah Hemenway
Wow, thats really sad. You take more for granted than you realise. I like the mix up with these assignments it really helps some of the vocab stick.
ReplyDeleteWithout trying to sound to redundant this is extremly depressing to see how some people live in this world. I take for granted so many luxuries in my life, and I often forget how fortunate I am.
