While listening
Listen to the poem and say if all the children take the garbage out.
SARAH CYNTHIA SYLVIA STOUT
by Shel Silverstein
|
Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would not take the garbage out! She'd scour the pots and scrub the pans, Candy the yams and spice the hams, And though her daddy would scream and shout, She simply would not take the garbage out. And so it piled up to the ceiling: Coffee grounds, potato peelings, Brown bananas, rotten peas, Chunks of sour cottage cheese. It filled the can, it covered the floor, It cracked the windows and blocked the door With bacon rinds and chicken bones, Drippy ends of ice cream cones, Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel, Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal, Pizza crusts and withered greens, Soggy beans and tangerines, Crusts of black burned buttered toast,
|
Gristly bits of beefy roast... The garbage rolled on down the hall, It raised the roof, it broke the wall... Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs, Globs of gooey bubble gum, Cellophane from green boloney, Rubbery blubbery macaroni, Peanut butter, caked and dry, Curdled milk and crusts of pie, Moldy melons, dried-up mustard, Eggshells mixed with lemon custard, Cold french fries and rancid meat, Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat. At last the garbage reached so high That it finally touched the sky. And all the neighbors moved away, And none of her friends would come to play. And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said, "OK, I'll take the garbage out!" But then, of course, it was too late... The garbage reached across the state, From New York to the Golden Gate. And there in the garbage she did hate, Poor Sarah met an awful fate, That I cannot now relate Because the hour is much too late. But children, remember Sarah Stout And always take the garbage out!

4. READING (10 min)
Before reading
T: What is that wet stuff we call water? Do you know that our body weight is 75% water? Read the text and find out new facts.
WATER
Water is one of t h e most spectacular things in the world. Without it, the earth would be a rather dry and boring place to live. It's what makes our wetlands wet and our rainforests rain. Much of what we use every day is groundwater, which is water that fdls the spaces between rock and soil particles underground. The biggest source of groundwater supplies is precipitation that has trickled down into the soil. This can be a slow process though, deep groundwater may require hundreds of years to be replenished. Can you imagine living one day without any water? I think that it would be almost impossible to not use water in some way.
Let's think of all the ways we use water! Almost everything we do uses water in some way. Flushing the toilet uses an average of 5-7 litres of water. Taking a seven minute shower uses about 133 litres of water. Washing a load of laundry in a washing machine uses about 147 litres of water. Taking a bath sends almost 170 litres down the drain.
Without water we wouldn't get very far. Did you know that water covers 71 % of the earth's surface? Wow, that's a lot of water! But wait a minute... Can we drink all that water? In reality only about 0.003% of the earth's water is available for our use. Now that isn't very much water at all, is it? Most of the water on earth is salt water, in the oceans and seas. The rest is fresh water and most of that is locked up in the polar ice caps and glaciers. If all of the earth's water was to be represented in 100 litres, then the amount of water that we would be able to use would be less than a spoonful! Although we may not think so, water is more valuable than oil, gold or diamonds. We can live without gold coins or gasoline, but we can't live without water.

8. What percentage of water is available for humans to use?
9. What is an interesting way to represent the amount of water available for us to use?
