Three Universal Human Concerns: Love, Money, and Security

Posted on by

0

Based on this YouTube video, students identified three universal human concerns: love, money, and security

We then tried to apply these three concerns to the immigrant experience using the saying, “We are all in the same boat.” — whether we are immigrants today in Siler City or immigrants 100 years ago to New York City.  We looked at some photos made by Danish immigrant Jacob Riis, author of the famous book “How the Other Half Lives”.  The photos show an immigrant experience harsher and more squalid than people tend to experience today.  Finally, students were asked to read a paragraph from the Wikipedia biography of Jacob Riis.  It is difficult English, but they are only looking for words related to the three concerns.  They copied these words in their notebook and then we shared as a whole class.

In the next few classes, students will watch and discuss  “inspirational videos”, such as  short segments on Ellis Island and on the richest man of that era, the world’s first millionaire, John D Rockefeller.

Cause and Effect Paragraphs

The Causes and Effects of Littering by Macaria N.

Littering is a problem in the neighborhood where I live. There are many cultural reasons behind this problem. People were not taught how to keep the outside area of house clean. They don’t think about environment pollution. Another cause of littering in the neighborhood is that people don’t recycle. If my neighbors think about the consequences of littering, they will learn to take care of the environment and prevent human diseases.

Water Waste by Jose V.

Wasting water is a serious problem in my town. One cause is that there are people who don’t have control of water. Many adults let their children play with water or take long baths. Another cause of wasting water is that people use too much water washing their cars or let water run. Due to the wasting of water there could be a drought. If residents continue using water carelessly the water bill will be high and they could be fined. Wasting water also affects plants and animals. If everyone takes control of this situation, I am sure it will improve.
