Jo took many photos of a visit to a student's village. Let’s look at the pictures. Then please say something about the village.

The village is very small. It is by a river at the bottom of a valley. It has steep slopes all around it. The village huts are small. They have no windows. They are made of wood and bamboo and have grass roofs.

These photos are about Tombe’s (Tombe is Jo’s student.) family and their life. From these photos,

what can you say about life in the village?

The villagers mainly live on agriculture. From their cooking methods we can learn that they are living a very simple and poor life.

Sleeping arrange-ments

Beliefs A new sleeping platform for the guests, Kiak usually slept in her own hut.

The villagers believe in evil spirits. They believe that leftover food attracts evil spirits so they dry it out in a can over the fire. Then the can is thrown out of the hut.

Post-reading

Facts Reason

The boys jumped out of the windows in the science lesson.

Jo wondered how relevant chemistry was to the boys.

Tombe’s mother cried “ieee ieee” when she saw Jo.

Because they were frightened; they had never seen anything like it before.Because most of them would live all their lives as farmers.

It was her way to welcome visitors to the village and she drew everyone’s attention to their arrival.

Facts Reason

There were no windows in Mukap’s hut.

The tin can was standing upside down on the grill.

Because it was a man’s house?

The tin can was used to dry out the leftover food, which might attract evil spirits, so the tin/can was thrown out of the hut.
