Description
Some time ago we went to Best of HR - Berufebilder.de® a report on the Massai Edwin Kisuto brought that for himself Education as a key to Success considered. This has now been printed in a high school textbook. We are happy.
The title is: TERRA Geography 2nd edition Rhineland-Palatinate Gymnasium: Student book class 7/8 (TERRA Geography. Edition for Rhineland-Palatinate Gymnasium from 2015)
From the blog into the textbook
The contribution A Maasai tells of life between tradition and modernity: education as the key to success appeared on 17. June 2013 on Best of HR – Berufebilder.de® as a result of a research trip to Kenya.
An excerpt from this report has now appeared in the textbook TERRA Geography 2 High School Lower Saxony of Klett-Verlag on page 55.
Between tradition and modernity
The article deals with the differences between traditional and modern ways of life using the example of the originally nomadic Maasai.
Whereby one can discuss whether such a presentation does not cement a more traditional view of the world in the minds of the students - because Africa is even more advanced than Germany in some areas, this article shows Mobile Payment.
The extract
The following text was printed in the textbook TERRA Geography - here first the text, then the book excerpt as picture:
“One day men came to my village. You said each Family have to send a child to school. I didn't want to, but I had to. The way to school was long, I was gone all day. Eventually I understood that I could learn something in school and I became a very good student because I wanted to achieve something. I then got a scholarship to Nairobi High School. There I had to cough constantly because the air was so bad. And I was most shocked by the soft mattresses. Even today I prefer to sleep on the fur beds in the village. But I own a cell phone now, one emailaddress and a driver's license. I don't tell my parents how the modern ones do Welt looks. They shouldn't think they're doing badly."
