Make a Difference ayatshamaeen https://padlet.com/ayatshamaeen/657n0zh3679r2kat/wish/2067702767 We decided to work with The European E- Twinning team to discuss the problem of water shortage
in Jordan after we read this text.
  • List the activities in your home that need water.
  • Find the meaning of the shaded words using the context.
  • Read the text and answer the following questions.

Jordanians face the country’s worst water shortage in almost a decade due to many reasons. This is because of a growth in population and in industrial and agricultural capacity. Increasing water demand is another important reason for the shortage of water. This shortage is related to the mismanagement of water resources. For example, people waste a huge amount of water in cleaning and washing their cars.
In addition to that, overuse of water during COVID-19 lockdowns made things worse. The pandemic raised demand for water by between 10 - 40 per cent in lockdowns and increased hand washing, as a report by the Economic  and Social Council of Jordan says.

  • What are the causes of water shortage in Jordan?
  • Think of more causes for this problem and share it with your friends.
  • Discuss the role of Covid-19 in increasing the problem.
  • Think of your role in saving water. How can you decrease the use of water? What can you do in your home and society to spread awareness about water shortage? Write a short paragraph proposing your solutions.
  • Share your answer with your colleagues. Then, make a  poster that reflects the solutions you come up with for this problem.

-Now answer these two with your group to get 6 points for each one.
-A man is looking at a photograph of someone. His friend asks who it is. The man replies: “Brothers and sisters, I have none. But that man’s father is my father’s son.” Who was in the photograph?
-A man was walking in the rain. He was in the middle of nowhere. He had nothing and nowhere to hide. He came home all wet, but not a single hair on his head was wet. Why is that?

Then, write a short paragraph summarizing your findings and favorite brain teasers.(You may post your writing on the school’s Facebook account).]]> 2022-03-10 17:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ayatshamaeen/657n0zh3679r2kat/wish/2088771665 ayatshamaeen https://padlet.com/ayatshamaeen/657n0zh3679r2kat/wish/2103430491 Did you know your brain is  more powerful than any computer? Our brains are pretty amazing! The brain is a 3-pound wrinkly, pink organ that is soft like a mushroom. Luckily, it is protected by eight bones. In a split second, our brain can notice a glass is going to fall off the counter and control everything
to stop that mess from happening. Your eyes see what’s going on and tell your brain how quickly you need to react. Then, your muscles spring into action. The brain even controls our heart to keep beating and our lungs to keep working while we are asleep.]]> 2022-03-20 05:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ayatshamaeen/657n0zh3679r2kat/wish/2103430491 ayatshamaeen https://padlet.com/ayatshamaeen/657n0zh3679r2kat/wish/2103430592
