Estimadas y estimados docentes:

Como ya les comentamos en la primera entrega, el material que se presenta

pretende acompañar este difícil contexto, de manera de sumar herramientas a las
que ustedes ya están usando. A partir de lo trabajado en la primera entrega acerca
de las actividades antes del ASPO y los cambios que el mismo propuso, ahora
sumamos un texto que presenta un mundo donde salir a caminar de noche parece
tan extraño que puede resultar amenazador.

Al ser un texto de ciencia ficción, permite relacionarlo con lo trabajado en conjunto

con Prácticas del Lenguaje (cuadernillos de Continuemos Estudiando). También se
establece la conexión a través de la creación de una historieta. Como se menciona
en el Documento de Adaptaciones Curriculares, para que las y los estudiantes
puedan abordar la escritura en la lengua extranjera, es interesante aportar
herramientas de otros lenguajes, el visual entre ellos. Esos recursos acompañan la
expresión en la lengua extranjera, compensando por aquellos sentidos que aún no
se pueden expresar en inglés.

Ya que el cuento centra la atención en el uso de ‘Simple Past’, con alguna referencia
al tiempo ‘Past Continuous’, sugerimos reforzar el repaso de los verbos regulares
e irregulares a través de juegos como crucigramas, sopas de letras, etcétera, en
aquellos casos que consideren pertinentes.

El último trabajo es el más productivo y puede necesitar de una explicación en

español. La relectura del cuadernillo de Prácticas del Lenguaje se recomienda
también. Recuerden que el trabajo está pensado para compartir con las y los
estudiantes tal cual aparece, o adaptar las consignas si fuera necesario. Se pueden
eliminar algunas de las explicaciones y dejar solo los títulos resaltados, o agregar
alguna explicación en español. Eso dependerá de las características de cada grupo.

2) An adaptation of The Pedestrian (by Ray Bradbury)

It was 8 o’clock of a misty November

evening in the year 2053. Mr Leonard
Mead was alone in the city streets.
He loved to walk alone. He walked
for hours and miles and sometimes
he returned home at midnight. While
he was walking he saw the lights of
the screens through the windows. It
was like walking through a graveyard.
People looked like grey ghosts and he could hear their voices like whispers.
On this particular evening, he was walking West towards the sea. He made
no noise when he walked because he was wearing sneakers. He listened
to his soft shoes through autumn leaves with satisfaction, and whistled a
cold quiet whistle between his teeth.

“Hello, in there”, he whispered to every house on every side as he moved.

“What’s up tonight on Channel 4, Channel 7, Channel 9?”

The street was silent and long and empty, with only his shadow moving.
The lights of the screens were on inside the houses.

He came to the intersection of two highways and turned on a side street

and when he was one block away from his home, he saw a car.
A metallic voice called to him:
“Stand still! Don’t move!”
He stopped. “Put up your hands!”
“But”- he said.
“Your hands up! Or we’ll shoot!” The police, of course, but what a rare,
incredible thing; in a city of three million, there was only one police car.
“Your name?” said the police car in a metallic voice.

“Leonard Mead”, he said.

“Speak up!”
“Leonard Mead!”
“Business or profession?”
“I’m a writer”.
“No profession”, said the police car.
“What are you doing out?”
“Walking”, said Leonard Mead.
“Walking!”
“Just walking”, he said simply, but his face felt cold.
“Walking, just walking, walking?”
“Yes, sir”.
“Walking where? For what?”
“Walking for air. Walking to see”.
“Your address!”
“Eleven South Saint James Street”.
“And there is air in your house, you have an air conditioner, Mr. Mead?”
“Yes”.
“And you have a viewing screen in your house to see with?”
“No”.
“No?” There was a silence that was an accusation.
“Are you married, Mr. Mead?”
“No”.
“Not married”, said the police voice.
“Nobody wanted me”, said Leonard Mead with a smile.
“Don’t speak if we don’t ask a question!”

Leonard Mead waited in the cold night.

“Well, Mr. Mead”, said the voice.
“Is that all?” he asked politely.
“Yes”, said the voice.
“Here”. The back door of the police car opened. “Get in”.
“Wait a minute. Why?”
“Get in”.
“I protest!”
“Mr. Mead”.
He walked like a man suddenly drunk. He looked into the car. There was no
one in the front seat, no one in the car at all.
“Get in”.
He looked into the back seat. It was a little cell, a little black jail with bars.
It smelled of antiseptic; it smelled too clean and hard and metallic. There
was nothing soft there.
“Where are you taking me?”
“To the Psychiatric Center for Research on Regressive
Tendencies”.
He got in. The door shut. The police car passed one house on one street a
moment later, one house in an entire city of houses that were dark, but this
one particular house had all of its electric lights brightly lit, every window a
loud yellow illumination, square and warm in the cool darkness.

“That’s my house”, said Leonard Mead. No

one answered him. The car moved down the
empty streets with the empty side-walks, and
no sound and no motion all the rest of the chill
November night.
