The Classroom Package: Reading Fun
The
following is taken from The Culture Connection Newsletter, written
by OneWorld Classrooms Director Paul Hurteau when he lived and taught
in Limoncocha, Ecuador:
Since moving here
and settling in
I've had so many visitors, I couldn't begin
To tell you of all these marvelous creatures
Leave alone their habits, their manners and features
Crunching cockroaches
in my plate when I eat
Tank-like tarantulas on my toilet seat
Tentacles and wings whizzing 'round my night candles
Tiny tree toads seeking nooks in my sandals
Termites making a
meal of my door
Mildew and moss on my walls galore
I'm beginning to know what it's like to be
A sloth living high in the canopy
A rain forest cat
is what I need
Because a rain forest rat's just a rat indeed
And if I don't get rid of that rain forest mouse
Next the boa will visit to exterminate my house.
