Quandary Game

The solution that I chose was to construct traps to capture the yashors, but at the end it was not the best solution because the traps did not capture all the yashors. Some others disagree with my solution, some others agree because it can contribute to medical issues.

In my case I really like this game because it helps students to develop some skills; for example: reading, listening. It also helps students to develop critical thinking. Because the game provides a series of choices that they must analyze in order to complete the game.

Students   can also practice pronunciation at the same time because  they have the option to listen to it. It is very colorful, so it helps us as teachers to get them working.

In my opinion I would like to use it with my students because it is a different way to practice vocabulary, it also develops their skills. I think that it would be very nice to use it with our students.

Salvadoran Legend:

El Cadejo

I think this legend is very interesting because people said that El Cadejo is represented by a dog which is big. It has weird gaze. People comment that there are two types of Cadejos white and  black. The white represents the good and the black represents the evil. Some people say that the black cadejo represents an evil spirit which appears to people who wander late at night, persecuting and hypnotizing its victims with its huge red eyes, similar to burning coals. According to the legend, if black cadejo hypnotizes you, it can steal your soul. On the other hand, white cadejo represents a spirit of light that protects all faithful believers, especially kids, from black cadejo. According to some villagers, black cadejo is usually scared away with the smoke of incense. El Cadejo is one of the most interesting legends that Salvadoran culture has, there are many others that can catch your attention.
