5 questions - what would you ask a visitor to Peru...
==In your questions - they should be like open ended questions. There should be a narrowing statement, and questions that ask what you want to know. Also, you should relate the question to your own life - tell a little about how you would answer the questions if you were answering it.==

Some of the Questions....
__The Rain Forest__ I read on a website that the Amazon jungle is the Earth's largest rain forest and it covers a lot of Peru. I remember from Science that the rainforest is important for the animals that live in it, and many medicnes have been discovered from the plants. Are you going to visit the Amazon jungle? If you are, what kind of animals are you hoping to see (a Jaguar!). And are you seeing the taking down of the rainforest? //Yo lei en el internet que la selva de amazon es la selva mas grande de el mundo y cubre mucho de peru. Yo me acuerdo de siencia que la selva es imporante para los animals que viven ai, y muchas medicinas se an discubierto de las matas.A ti te gustaria visitar la selva amazon. Si si te gustaria visitar la selva amazon cuales animals te gustaria ver (un jaguar), y estas viendo como estan destruiendo la selva.// **Manny R. 71A** media type="file" key="MannyPeru.m4a"

__Toys__ I read that in Peru, kids like to make their own toys. Is that true? If it is, what kinds of toys do you make? What is your favorite toy that you made? What materials do you use – I read that you can use pieces of bottles, seeds boxes, and anything that you can find around? What have you made toys from? Over here were I live we buy our own toys. Well, actually our parents buy the toys, but it would be cool to know how to make your own toys once in while. //Yo Leí que en Perú niños le gustan hacer sus propios juguetes. Es verdad? Si es, que tipo de juguetes hacen? Que tipo de cosas usas para asel los? Yo leí que usan pedasos de botellas, y muchas mas. También otra cosas que enqutran porai cuando camina.

Pero será divertido a sel nuestros propio juguetes una vea al tiempo.// **Joselyn C. 7-1-A** media type="file" key="CruzJ Peru project.m4a"

__A New 7 Wonder__ I understand that Peru has one of the new seven world wonders. Some students from my school went on a competition with other students because we wanted the statue of liberty to win. The statue of liberty stands for liberty. What does your world wonder represents? How does it feel to have one of the new seven world wonders in your country? //Yo entiendo que Peru tiene unos de las siete nueva Maravillas del mundo. Algunos estudiantes de mi escuela fueron en una competencia con otros estudiantes por que queriamos que la estatua de liberta ganara. La estatua de loberta representa liberta. Que representa tu maravilla del mundo?Como se siente tener unas de las siete nuvas maravillas del mundo?// **Jaritza R. 71A** media type="file" key="newsevenwonder.m4a"

__Immigrants__ Where I come from, there are many immigrants. Immigrants are people who come to America seeking freedom and a better life. Many of the immigrants come to America come from South America. Do you know any people that with the dream of coming to America to better themselves? Do you feel that coming to America will open up doors, and opportunities? Do you have immigrants in Peru, and where do they come from? //De donde vengo, hay muchos inmigrantes. Los inmigrantes son la gente que viene a la libertad que busca de América y a una vida mejor. Muchos de los inmigrantes vienen a América de Suramérica. ¿Usted conoce gente que viven con el sueño de venir a América mejorarse? ¿Usted se siente que viniendo a América abrirá puertas, y las oportunidades? ¿Usted tiene inmigrantes en Perú, y de donde ellos viene?// **Melissa M. 7-1B** media type="file" key="MelissaM NA POD.m4a"

__Global Warming__ IN America, we have our own way of looking at mother nature. We feel that the environment is important and we worry about environmental issues like Global warming. We know that global warming is getting earths life in danger, and increasing the tempeture. Do you worry about global warming? What is your country doing to protect the earth? //En America, nosotros tenemos nuestra propia manera de ver a madre naturaleza. Nosotros sentimos que el anbiente es inportante y a nosotros nos preocupan hacerca de los problemas del medio anbiente como el calento global. Nosotros sabemos que el calenton global esta poniendo la tierra en peligro, y la tenperatura mas caliente. Estan ustedes preocupados por el calenton global? Que esta haciendo tu pais para protejer la tierra.// **Ambar A 71A** media type="file" key="GLOBAL WARNING AMBAR A 71-A.m4a"

__Climate__ I have just finished reading a passage about Peru it told me that the climate is very hot over there. Is that true? Why is it so hot? I read it is because it falls into three main geographical regions, a narrow strip of desert along the coast, a region of high mountains in the center, and a large area of forested mountains and lowlands in the east. Over here it is only hot during summer. The weather changes over here. Does it change over there? During winter it is very cold and it snows. Does it snow over there? I want to know more about the climate over there. //Yo a cabe de acabar de leer de un paso sobre Perú. Que me dijo que el clima es bien caliente allá. ¿Eso es verdad? ¿Por qué es tan caliente? Leí que es porque baja en tres geográficas regiones, una tirata tira del desierto a lo largo de la costa, una región de montañas altas en el centro, y una área grande de montañas forested y de tierras bajas en el oeste. Aquí es solamente caliente durante verano. El tiempo cambia aquí. ¿Cambia allá?Durante invierno es muy frío y nieva. ¿Nieva allá? Deseo saber más sobre el clima allá//. **AshleyO.71B** media type="file" key="BAshleyO.m4a"

__Languges__ In the article about Peru, I read that Quechua is one of the official languages there. What language do you speak? Does any of your family members or friends speak the same language? Here in New Jersey the main languages are English and Spanish. My friends and family usually speak English, but sometimes they use another language in case another person does not understand English. Do you and your friends use any other type of language to help yourself and other people? //En el article de peru yo lei qe quechua es uno de los official lenguaje aya. Qe lenguehe escribes tu?algien de tu familia sabe el mimo lenguaje aqi en new jersey el languehe popolar aqi es ingles I espajol mi amigos I mi familia ablan espajol pero abbess ejo usan differentte lenguajes porciakaso algien no same ingles. I tu amigos usan otro tipo de lenguahe para ajudal tu mismo I otras personas ?// **Carmen C 71-A** media type="file" key="Carmen C ..m4a"

__Holidays__ (part 1) I read that in Peru they celebrate some of the holidays that we celebrate like new years and Christmas. But I also know that you guys celebrate different holidays in different day. For example what does Combate de Angamos mean? Why do you celebrate this holiday? Well the holiday that I love is Christmas because every year we exchange presents and we have fun. //Leo que en Perú celebran algunos de los días de fiesta que celebramos como Años Nuevos y Navidad. Pero también sé que usted los individuos celebra diversos días de fiesta en diverso día. ¿Por ejemplo qué Combate de Angamos.// **Yarlene Q 71-B media type="file" key="B_Yarlene_Q.m4a"**

__Holidays__ (part 2) I heard you have a lot of holidays in Peru! What kind of festivals do you have? How do you celebrate them? How many festivals do you have a year? Are they based on religion or culture or your country? We have about 15 major holidays. We celebrate the 4th of July, Valentines, Christmas, New Year’s, Halloween, Labor Day, Easter, and more. How do you celebrate New Year’s and Christmas? Do you put up a Christmas tree? What is San Pedro y San Pablo about – it sounds like an interesting holiday? Why do you celebrate it? What is your favorite holiday? Most people here in America love the Christmas season? I personally don’t like all the holidays, do you? //¡Oí a él tengo días de fiesta en Perú! Qué clase de festivales que usted tiene? ¿Cómo usted los celebra? ¿Cuántos festivales usted es un año viejo? ¿Se basan en la religión, la cultura o la historia de su país? Tenemos cerca de 15 días de fiesta de importante.

__Food__ What kind of foods do you eat when you go to Peru? I’ve learned today that one of the foods that are mostly common in Peru is a dish called Pescado y mariscos, which means fish and seafood. Have you tried it? If so, did you like it? I’ve read that it was pretty good. I think it would taste good because is seafood and I hear that seafood is good. Here in the United States most Americans eat junk food like cheeseburgers, candy, and pizza. I think it would be interesting to learn more about the types of foods you could find in Peru, and comparing it to what we eat here in the United States. //Que tipo de comida comes tu cuando vas a Peru?. Yo aprendi hoy que una de las comidas mas cumunes en Peru se llama Pescado y mariscos. Lo as probado? Si lo as probado te gusto?. E oido que sabe bien. Yo pienso que sabe bien porque es comida del mar y yo oi que comida del mar sabe bien. Aqui en los Estados Unidos muchos americanos comen comida como hamburgesas,pizzas, y dulces. Yo pienso que seria interesante aprender sobre el tipo decomida que puedes encontrar en Peru, y compararlo a lo que comemos aqui en los Estados Unidos.// **Maria P.7-1C** media type="file" key="CMariaP..m4a"

__Some Other Questions.....__

What I would like to know is….Do you guys get free education? Because here the boys and girls get free education instead of there moms and dads paying for it. The education here is great and if you study hard you will have a lot of great opportunities like going to college and getting a great job. We have to go to school for 12 years – 5 years of elementary school, 3 years of middle school, and 4 years of high school. I would really like to know how this compares to how education is run out there in Peru… DEMI O 7-1A media type="file" key="_7-1AORENGOD EDUCATION IN PERU.m4a"

In America, we have designer brands for clothes like Mecca & Akademic. In Peru, what type of clothes do you wear and do you have any designer brands from Peru? I’ve read that in villages people often wear traditional clothes. Women wear skirts and petticoats with blouses and belts and men/boys wear ponchos. Is this true? I know what a poncho is but what is a petticoat? HENRY.M 7-1A media type="file" key="A71MinayaHThe clothes.m4a"

What would you say is the most interesting thing in Peru? I think that there are some great and interesting things in what I have found out about Peru from what I read. I found the Amazon, the Andes, and Lima, very interesting, but the most interesting thing that I found was about the Tomb of The Lord of Spain. I would like to see that museum to see the bones of him because they have been there for so long, and it means a lot to the history of Peru. The most interesting thing in the USA for me is New York. New York is fun, and has many places to go. The best place in New York City is Times Square. Times Square is were most celebrities host their shows - like MTV - and were a lot of important events and parades take place. New York City is the largest City in the USA. There are so many buildings and so many people you might get lost! I don’t know how people don’t. - Jonathan S. 71B

This year we learned about the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro who conquered Peru during the 16th century. What do you know about Pizarro? Do you learn about him in school? What do you think about him? Carlos R. 71A
