Definition: An unburnt brick dried in the sun.
Alright class, settle down, letโs take a peek,
At this word โadobe,โ simple and sleek!
The dictionary gives us a clue, you see,
โAn unburnt brick, dried in the sun for free!โ
Now, think about where builders used to roam,
In deserts hot, far away from home.
They needed bricks, strong and sturdy too,
But bringing them all was hard, itโs true!
So they'd take clay, a reddish hue,
Mix it with straw, a helpful view.
Then shape the mud, so warm and bright,
And let it bake beneath the sunโs light!
That dried brick, that lovely brown,
Is what we call โadobe,โ all over town!
It's a building material, strong and bold,
A story of history, to be told.
Do you understand now, class, itโs plain?
Adobe โ sun-dried bricks, again and again!
Now, any questions for me, before we move on?
