The Eagle, Our National Emblem (EEUU)

The bald eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of American, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this continent.

On the backs of our gold coins, the silver dollar, the half dollar and the quarter, we see an eagle with outspread wings. On the Great Seal of the United States and in many places which are exponents of our nation's authority we see the same emblem. The eagle represents freedom. Living as he does on the tops of lofty mountains, amid the solitary grandeur of Nature, he has unlimited freedom, whether with strong pinions he sweeps into the valleys below, or upward into the boundless spaces beyond.

In his right talon the eagle holds an olive branch, in his left a bundle of thirteen arrows, and in his beak he carries a scroll inscribed with the motto: "E Pluribus Unum."The Eagle appears in the Seals of many of our States, on most of our gold and silver coinage, and is used a great deal for decorative patriotic purposes.

La aventura del "DIVERSABER"

Buenas tardes,

Después de mucho pensar, he decidido lanzarme a crear este blog. Como bien sabemos, como educadores, debemos utilizar las nuevas tecnologías, por eso, empiezo a aplicarlo desde este mismo momento.

Lo primero, crear mi cuenta y en este momento mi primera entrada al blog.

Me embarco en una nueva aventura. Capitaneando la aventura del "diversaber". Espero ir contando cada vez con más tripulantes, entre ellos "marineros", pequeños "piratas" y bucaneros, ... todo estará preparado para la acción más divertida y sorprendente.

Las ideas están todavía en mi cabeza. Intentaré organizarlas e iré transmitiéndolas en breve en este blog.

Espero que os guste.

Hasta muy pronto.
