Hay una gran variedad de climas en Sudamérica. Al norte del continente, está la cordillera de los Andes y el Altiplano en los países de Perú, Bolivia y Chile. En esta región, el sol, el viento y el frío pueden ser fuertes. Las temperaturas bajan hasta los 3 grados centígrados. Por eso, tienen que vestirse y abrigarse bien. Hay gente que usa la ropa moderna pero algunos prefieren llevar la vestimenta tradicional. Hay varias piezas del conjunto típico del Altiplano y la mayoría de ellas son de lana. En alturas entre 3.000-4.500 metros (12,000-15,000 ft.), es importante protegerse del sol con un buen sombrero de lana de oveja. El chullo es otro cubierto de la cabeza con orejeras que tienen en el Altiplano. Se usan una camisa lisa, abotonada hasta el último botón, debajo de un poncho, también hecho de lana de llama, oveja, alpaca o vicuña. El diseño del poncho es muy práctico para el frío y la facilidad de movimiento. Tiene sentido que los humanos del Altiplano obtengan una tela pesada y gruesa de los animales del Altiplano. Los pantalones tradicionales son de barracán, una tela cara hecha de pelo de llama. Los zapatos que se usan se llaman alpargatas u ojotas. La alpargata es fabricada con una lona fuerte. Estos zapatos son cómodos y de buen agarre al suelo pero sin un par de medias de lana, los pies sufren del frío. En el Altiplano, es común ver patrones geométricos en la ropa. Se hilan con colorantes naturales. Los tonos o colores dependen de la comunidad. Pueden ser multicolores brillantes o colores neutros como blanco, amarillo, marrón, ocre y crema. Alrededor del Altiplano, hay selva tropical y desierto muy seco. La vestimenta siempre varía de acuerdo a la zona geográfica. ¿Cómo te vistes donde vives? ¿Hay lugares cercanos con climas y ropas muy diferentes?

I thought the reading was interesting, but some of the words were difficult to understand what they were when it was just a picture to describe it because there was so much in some of the pictures. Therefore I didn't do well on the quiz. But, I thought the actual information that was given was interesting though and the description of everyday clothing due to it's climate.

I found the reading helpful. It was hard to decipher at points but overall it was helpful along with the pictures. The questions were good to read before the reading because it gave you an idea of what was happening. The clothes and descriptions were helpful for the test we took today in class. The quiz was difficult for me but all together helped towards practice at spanish.

I thought the reading was interesting as well. I found it to be very informative though difficult at times to comprehend. It was a good challenge. I really liked the pictures and well as the video! Pictures always help when you don't understand something that well.

The reading was interesting and it was challenging to figure out what some of the words were. But that helps practicing using other words that I do know to figure out what I am reading. I did not really understand why the video was important but I guess it was good to get an idea of where the story was taking place and what the climate was like there.

The reading was a bit difficult to get through. The links provided for some of the words made it easier to understand what the reading was about. The reading did provide good practice from having to sit down and try to understand what each sentence meant. The quiz was a little tough to get through although I did like how you could see the correct answers to each question.

The reading was hard to follow because there was a lot of vocab that we haven't even learned yet and verbs that are unknown. At times it wasn't to hard to understand what was going on and i could pick up a few words here and there. But it helps to read and concentrate on a text that you cannot fully understand because it forces you to use your brain and try to depict what is being said.

I liked the video and the reading; even though there was unfamiliar vocabulary, the links helped and reading it within the context made it easier to figure out and understand. It was very interesting!
ReplyDeleteLeah Rowland
I like the fact that the reading had highlighted words to link me to the definition or at least a picture of what they were talking about, that made things really helpful because then i could use context clues to figure out the other words. Also a good thing about the quiz was that it gave the reason why my answer was wrong or right in both spanish and english, which I liked mucho.

The video of peru looked beautiful especially lake titicaca. The reading was challenging however the links to definitions and pictures where helpful. It's crazy that people live at such high altitudes 15000 ft?! The animals that live up at those altitudes are very different from what live around here as well. I also feel honored to have received my certification of 75% percent.

The reading was a bit difficult becuse there were words we have not learnt but i was able to understand a good bit of the reading still using words prior and after the words i didnt know to try and undestand what they were tryng to say. Also the quiz with the verbs with theverbs we are leaing now and the slideshow was helpdul because it showed us how to congrugate the verbs and use them in different sentence construction......Karisa Jagdeosingh
ReplyDeletethere were a fair amount of words that i haven't seen before, but i was happy that i more or less understood from context. i only missed one question on the quiz! the video looked beautiful and i am jealous of all the rain. the links were very helpful. maybe someday i will get to live there for a while!
