Language is both a tool for learning and a
specific content area.
We cannot teach students to write by
looking only at what they have written.
We must also understand how that came
into being, and why it assumed the form
of itWe have to do the hard thing,
examine the intangible process, rather
than the easy thing, evaluate the
tangible product.
Hairston 1982

Learning about Rainforests
Rainforests are extraordinary places where we can find
different types of plants, tribes and animals. Do you want to
learn more about them?
Rainforests are found in the tropics around the equator.
Most of them are in South East, West Africa, South and
Central America. The weather is hot and wet.
Rainforests are important for our environment, they
proctect the soil, recycle nutrients, produce oxygen and store
carbon. It also provides food, shelter and medicine to many
people. Most of the spices come from the rainforest, for
example: vanilla, cinnamon, coconut, pepper, etc.Chocolate
comes from the rainforest too! There are also medical uses for
example the Cinchona tree cures the symptoms of Malaria
and the Indian snake root plant reduces blood pressure.
We can also find tribes, for example the Yanomami tribe,
who lives in the Amazon, collects fruit and hunts animals.
There are also animals such as parrots, they are colorful,
intelligent, friendly animals; Macaws, they are brightly
colored and noisy, they have sharp and powerful beaks; the
sloths that move slowly, hang from branch to branch and its
hair grows in the opposite direction.
Most rainforests are in danger because of farming, fires,
homes, timber, mining, roads, etc. But there are many things
that we can do to protect them, for example, through national
parks that proctect animals, ecotourisnm that provides money
to conserve these places, forest reserves, international
agreements and eduaction.
