What should we study next week? Farms, Schools, or Medicinal Plants? printer.gif

Next week we will be traveling through a remote section of the Amazon River where Peru, Brazil, and Columbia come together. We would like to spend some of our time learning how the people live there, but we are not sure what we should focus on. Should we:

A: Spend the day at a school in a small village to learn what it is like to go to school in a small town.

B: Try and find a shaman (medicine man) who will take us into the forest to look for medicinal plants.

C: Spend a day helping out on a family farm to learn what it is like to grow up on a farm in the Amazon.

I think you should learn more about medical plants because maybe you could even learn how to make your own medicines.

I say helping out at a local farm because if you help them they can maybe help you.

Help get some medicine~ you can use it if someone gets hurt

I think you should visit a school because it would be so different than schools here in the U.S. Also, you stayed on a farm so you already know some about that. Also, I don't think you should study the medicne because wouldn't you already have medicine?

I think you should visit a school in a small village because then you could learn what it is like at the schools there and tell us about what is different and what is the same. That is something I would like to learn about.

I think that you guys should check out the farm life because I bet a lot of people could use some help, plus you would learn what life is like on a farm. I also think that is would be a good experience to visit a farm and check out farm lives.

I think you should go look for medicine with the shaman because you could possibly find a medicine that could help people, and that would be AMAZING if you found some! :-) Hope you have fun on the rest of your adventure! :-)

I think you should visit a school in a small town so you can teach us about the similarities and the differences between our schools and theirs.

I thinkl you should go to the school because you'l be staying in farms a lot during this trip and I think it would be really cool to find out what kind of things they learn there. If you didn't go to the school, it could also be cool if you learned about medicin.

i think you should help out a local farm because then the people don't have to do as much work plus it could be fun.

I think you should study medical plants with a shaman. I think that because one you already were at a family farm. Two it would be cool to learn what plants would help you it you adventure. Also you could learn what plants you could and could ot eat. I hope you have fun with whatever vote wins!

I think you should learn about the school day. i would like to see how different it is from ours. you shouldn't go to a farm because you already did that when you stayed on that nice family's farm.☺♥♪

Can you find information about how to run a amazon farm? We can't wait to hear about this adventure!

Can you find evidence of clearcutting?

i think you should learn about medicine because there could be a plant to help prevent sunburn.wouldent that be COOL!?

You should study schools. This website is for schools. I want to learn how different it is in school there from here. - Kaitlyn

I think you should visit a school. A school would be a great example of contrast with the U.S. - Denny

I think you should go to a school to see if Peruvian children learn some of the same things we do here in the U.S. If not, you (we) can learn what they learn. - Anna

P.S. A lot of us wanted you to find the medicine man, but our teacher's choice is the school this time! :>)

I think you should go to the medicine man. You will learn much and if you get sick or hurt you might be able to get some medicine for your self.

We think you should find the medicine man, because to be prepared in case of a medical emergency. ;)

We think that if you go with the shaman you could learn some medicines that could possibly help you later on your voyage.

i ttink learning about medicine should be interesting

i think you should probably study schools because i would like to see what schools look like in South America. Also, what the difference is with between our school and their school.

have fun in what ever u do!!!!

I really hope you guys visit a school because that way we could learn about the kids of the amazon's life as well as what they are taught. Also you've already stayed at a farm so it wouldn't be nessisary to do it again. I hope you have fun doing whatever you do!!☺!!

ithink you should learn about medicine because if one of you get sick then you can use the medicine to help him/her

We think that you should learn about the medical plants because one off you might get sick and you could use a medical plant to heal him/her.

We think learning about medicinal plants would be cool because you could see what they use to cure diseases in the forest. You never know what you will find in plants. You might find a cure for a disease in America!
