A great castle, where the great King CrabRed rules.

(continuation)

-Okay! Uriely said. —While what, with his voice he explained his ideas, his hands already had "as was his custom as an illustrator," pencil and blank page. He started making strokes, once he made the first sketch he showed it to the class.

—Danay's idea is extraordinary and Aunt Carini's explanation, very special for his time ...

"Oh!" Oh! (… Said the three women, surprised, because in that way: she implied that this procedure 'was no place' in the sense of being 'obsolete' in the context of the idea)

"I mean what, the drawing of a crab, I don't know how to link or relate to a 'half ego' castle, because a crab is tiny like me and a castle is as giant as the three of you put together. (At some point, these three women wielded power, and he had to say it like this, true to the diplomatic style but direct from him. Instead of saying: You push! Uriely said: you have: half ego)

"Half 'ego'," said Danay, "it is said medieval: Cousin !? He added, "And you're right, but not entirely."

"What if it's a castle in the sea!" Said Vicky.

-That!? Said Mom Vicky, "letting the children reinforce the initial idea and expand on the second and third ideas."

"Being a genius girl," Uriely said, "appealing to Danay's 'creative ego'. Surprise us! With another fantastic idea and that it becomes a great story.

"A castle in the sea?" Danay wondered to herself: And the King is the Red Crab. In the sea, no red bricks are used, let alone mud bricks; both would eventually end up diluted by the pressure of the seabed.

"And if you do Uriely with Algae and Corals," Vicky clarified, reinforcing the idea of a castle, and getting the structure and surroundings more accurate.

-That's it! Danay said: "Algae of those that are put 'whole' in the ceviche and 'liquefied' in the chilcano. Oops! It already provoked me: a fish soup with seaweed. And he asked, "Mama Carini, when do you prepare that exquisite dish?"

"And what happened on the Chimbote coast?" Vicky continued, arguing, "You see few fish and a clear abundance of Algae." Could it be that Algae are predatory or more powerful than Corals? What has really happened since in other places there is a balance? Remember: Looking for Memo? There you could see great reefs: full of algae and coral and colorful fish.

"I am going to recreate, a great castle, where the great King CrabRed rules," Uriely said, turning to Danay, he said, "Do you think so?" —Showing him the first traces of what would be a Castle at the same time.

"Which I don't know," Uriely said. "If you took, Vicky's suggestion: would algae or corals be more predominant?" I prefer that the center of the castle itself is made of corals, and the algae which trees around it; Like vast forests on the seabed How about? —Showing new sketches—: How do you see these drawings?

"Better, although they are still not convincing." Well, you don't have 'gills', nor scales, nor much tail to be a fish. Of course, your ears are more like a rabbit than a fish! Said Danay jokingly.

(And they all laughed even Uriely himself, since they are already used to the affectionate way his cousins treat him, since he used to say to himself: Ah, Women! His father used to express this with allusion to an inappropriate action of his mother)

"Ha. Ha Ha

-Children!?

"I propose an idea," said Mama Carini: "what if we give the task to Papa Charly and in the afternoon; or when a further explanation is available we go to the study room. With the help of slides and instructional videos we will learn together about the underwater world.

-Done! All the children said: Danay and Uriely; and the teenager: Vicky, who preferred to be treated like this a little older than the others.

(… Later before the meeting in the Study Hall)

Charly, finished summarizing what he had managed to investigate. His literary update card should be the shortest, most concise and meaningful. I said, I have to make those little students great readers, writers and illustrators.

Carini, who was watching him finish, asked him for the sheet to review the first draft. She, "she observed, objecting:

—If this knowledge, a little advanced for the class but transcendental for the purposes of virtual knowledge; they are written in a list of new words; because just by citing each time they process the story, the notion or meaning will be impregnated.

-In agreement. He said: Charly: A list is the most practical way to achieve the objectives of conceptual references.

"Look at the meanings about algae," said Charly:

(1) Chondracanthus chamissoi, (cochayuyo, yuyo, mococho or chicoria de mar) A red alga that inhabits the cold coasts of Peru, that is, the Pacific coast of South America bathed by the Humboldt current.

(2) When the algae are floating in the water they are planktonic, if they are fixed to the seabed, they are benthic.

(3) Arequipa soup: Timpusca, uses an algae extracted from Lake Titicaca in its preparation.

(4) The Chilcano that is u

A typical fish soup implements seaweed. It is served together with the Ceviche, cooking the seaweed with lemon juices (citric acid)

"I've also been researching literary structures in eastern kingdoms and castles competitions," Charly argued, "adding:"

—If the children use real terms, added to their great imagination both when thinking to write, and knowing how to interpret realities and translate them on paper: I am referring to the drawings of the characters, the illustrations of their scenarios and the events that every day recreate. —Charly handed out a second list of new terms for shared learning time. Specifically, he was referring this time to the formation of hierarchies or functional levels in a marine kingdom, names or terms related to the algae and corals of the reefs in the history that children develop, read:

—Planktonic community, made up of:

- Necton (active swimming organisms on the surface)

- Plankton (organisms that live in suspension in water),

- Benthos (organisms from the bottom of aquatic ecosystems) and

- Edafón (organisms of the community that inhabit the soils).

—There are also variables or migrations of habitats, such as:

- Holoplankton, which are those organisms that spend their entire life cycle belonging to plankton and

- Meroplankton, formed by organisms that only during part of their life make up the planktonic community.

- Zooplankton are copepods, cladocerans, rotifers, canidarians, ketognaths, euphausiids and the larvae of fish.

- Ichthyoplankton, are the larvae of fish.

—If there are more questions for a reflection on marine ecology, we can complete with this information, from the Aquae Foundation:

"Plankton is subdivided into phytoplankton or plant plankton and zooplankton. Phytoplankton is integrated in a high percentage by cyanobacteria and unicellular algae that produce their own food through photosynthesis.

These autotrophic organisms therefore need sunlight and the existence of minerals in suspension and for this reason they are usually found in the surface layers of the oceans, in the first 50 meters of depth.

—And if we talk about the relevance of children's play, they by themselves are immersed in the subject of great and world-wide importance. Said Charly, "Look at this point:

In addition to serving as food for zooplankton, phytoplankton are responsible for the production of more than half of the planet's oxygen.

—How to take care of them? Well, they also suffer because of the actions of man:

The ultraviolet radiation that arrives through the hole in the ozone layer represents one of the great threats for these organisms, as has been verified in Antarctic areas, where the phytoplankton populations have been reduced by 10% ".

—The idea is that they adapt to complex terms, the specialties in medicine, nursing or laboratory, require an extensive memory of terminologies (since they will be the most demanded careers in the market, although I doubt that any of them interest them); but you have to anticipate expectations ... argued, Charly.

When defining the two new learning sheets for the current week. Danay began to transcribe how to learn from him. When you are no longer a simple listener, but the protagonist of your own story, you must be very exhaustive, with the information you receive; also for being the leader of the pack of three x two (Danay, Vicky, Uriely - Charly and Carini)

—Let's see, her system:

The Community of Producers, "said Danay.

- The Nectons, swimmers.

- The Plankton, flying.

- Bentos, long distance runners.

- Edaphon, terrestrial.

The Hierarchical Community:

- Citizens (Holoplankton) and

- Migrators (Meroplankton)

The Trade Community (Zooplankton)

- Copepods,

- Cladoceros,

- Rotifers,

- Canidarios,

- Ketognatos,

- Euphausiids and

- The larvae of the fish.

The Enemy Community (Ichthyoplankton)

The purpose of this kingdom is to produce its own food through photosynthesis, therefore they need sunlight and the existence of minerals in suspension. Danay finished arming her system. Not without first recommending Daddy Charly, go digital and print copies for everyone.

Sure, that you Reader Friend:

Imagine that she did it all: No! Five people: they reasoned and simplified, in a more digestible language. This is the beauty of literary writings: they are literal, different from academic writings: they are historical.

—We'd need to see the photos and video of the reefs, with algae and corals. —Said Papa Charly (they proceeded to watch for 15 minutes), finally: I leave you with Mama Carini, for the final explanations:

—Just say that the health benefits of seaweed are manifold.

- They are good for taking care of bones and teeth,

- have anti-inflammatory properties,

- help maintain cardiovascular health,

- prevent anemia,

- facilitate digestion.
