Man-made Wonders of America
Ein pädagogisches Material, das Ihren Englischunterricht lebendiger macht.
Über die Serie
Eine mehrstufige Dokumentationsserie (A1 und A2), die acht große von Menschen gebaute Wunder der Vereinigten Staaten erkundet, vom Hoover Dam bis zur Golden Gate Bridge, erzählt mit echten Fotografien und erzähltem Audio. Jede Folge fragt nicht nur, was ein Bauwerk ist, sondern warum man sich entschied, es zu bauen, wer es gebaut hat und warum es bis heute wichtig ist, und benennt dabei ehrlich seinen menschlichen Preis.
Die Episoden (6)
1A wall that holds back a river. In Black Canyon, on the Colorado between Nevada and Arizona, a wall of pale concrete drops away like a tower of sixty floors turned upside down, and a whole river waits behind it.
4:18
2The Empire State Building & the skyscraper boom
The race to the sky. Manhattan is small and its land costs a fortune, so New York built upwards: in 1931 a silver spire on one hundred and two floors became the tallest building in the world.
4:16
3A river made by hand. Five hundred and eighty kilometres of straight water across New York State, dug by people and walked by horses, joining Lake Erie to the sea.
4:05
4A concrete river across dry land. A blue line eleven hundred kilometres long, open to the sun and the wind, carrying water right across California's brown fields.
