Doing a homework about lupins me and all my classmates learned about this type of plant. The lupins are a plant that is also a very particular grain of the mountains of South America especially Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. This grain called lupin is very good because the majority of species have seeds with good protein, a good proportion of fiber, sugars and minerals like cobalt, phosphorus and potassium. Usually they come in the form of grain and in Ecuador we eat it together with onions, in salads or in ceviches. There are several types of lupins as some are for decorate and others to eat. The flower is not very tall because it becomes a maximum of fifty centimeters, the flower color is usually purple or yellow, the seeds are small oval and white. The dry seeds can be used to decorate many objects but you must know how to do it and at the school doing a classwork me and my group with silicone we stick around a figure of an ecuatorian famous character Rumiñahui.We did it forming a necklace and paste the lupins on the base of the figure. At the final the figure that we decorated was very nice. But with the eating lupins we did a ceviche. This activity was cooking it. This class we did together with the biology where we were learned about the proteins. First we started buying all the materials that were: lupins, onions, salt, orange and lemon juices and ketchup, then we mix the juice trying to make it not too much sweet or too sour. Once we get the juice, we began to mix the onions with lupins and then we put the juice and ketchup. Finally we get the ceviche of lupins and ate it with the classmates and teachers.
Literacy had enabled us to help people learn things that are new to them and everything related to school education. The best thing was to help them learning new things but we were also their teachers and it was a new experience and very positive for us. The classes should be very dynamic so that people wouldn’t look boring and din’t leave. In breaks we gave them a small lunch for them and their children and then returned to classes. We not only teached subjects like math, English, literature, etc, we also teached values what is most important to their lives. There were negative things for example I can say that there are illiterate people who have not been interested in coming to school and they wanted to be paid or something like that, it makes me think that these people were not interested in more developed intellectually and success in their lives. There are others who take great effort to learn and this is going to show all classes or even most of them, whatever the situation they show much interest in each class to learn more. Saturdays were not always appropriate to the classes because many people work or are employed and therefore didn’t come very often. A good thing was that the school helped us with equipment for example with the classrooms and the lunch room to provide a small luch to them. The help with the books was excellent because it can guide us well, and also with our knowledge of primary education.
