Spanish or american Culture class (using web 2.0)
• When Teaching english or spanish as a 2nd language, the culture of the language must be included
• Integrate your material with matrial found on the web 2.0 links
• I start with photos from a trip to spain and the historical sites we visited.
• The first one is mérida, españa,where the romans built huge arenas , aquaducts to carry water , theaters and coliseums ( mostly to entertain themselves )
What’s left of the roman aqueducts in The city of mérida, españa. These would carry water from the faraway river to the city. Storks (Cigueñas) have built
huge nests on top & this contributed to the partial destruction.
This is what’s left of the temple of the mythical godess, diana
Another section of the aqueduct in mérida, españa
• This section of the aqueduct would continue carrying water to the central part of the city
• Most of the arches that were part of the supports have been destroyed by time, weather, the storks and other elements.
• These aqueducts were sometimes many miles long
• In the following video, you will be able to see how long these roman built aqueducts could run
