Activity 5: What is your favorite handicraft from your community? 1. Answer this question with your teacher, classmates and family. What are some interesting handicrafts made in Ecuador for tourists? 2. Writing a short review Analyze the model: Tagua nut jewelry Jewelry made of a seed does not seem so elegant, but there are some beautiful pieces. Tagua comes from a palm tree that grows in my community. It is called “vegetable ivory”; it is very similar to the ivory that people take from elephants. The best part of tagua is that no plant or animal gets hurt and you can create wonderful pieces of jewelry. My favorite piece is a colorful necklace that I have had for years and goes well with almost all my clothing. I also have a pair of earrings which are absolutely wonderful. I really like tagua jewelry and I am sure I will get more pieces. GRAMMAR NOTE There are two types of relative clauses: Defining: used to define the noun that comes before them. Tagua, which is the name for a part of a palm tree, is used to make jewelry. Non-defining: used to add information to the noun that comes before them. Ecuador, which is a small South American country, has a lot to offer. Relative clauses start with a relative pronoun: who for people and which for things. In non-defining relative clauses, who and which can be replaced by that. Step 1. Topic sentence: Introduce the idea of your favorite handicraft. Step 2. Explain where the materials come from. Step 3. Explain how it can be used. Is it a decoration, clothing, jew elry? Step 4. Say why you like it and recommend it.
