Roman Theatre.

The Romans loved live theatre. Plays were only performed during religious ceremonies and religious festivals. However, since the ancient Romans celebrated over 200 holidays a year, there were many opportunities for plays to be staged. Someone had to pay for the play, as actors received a small fee. Usually a wealthy noble would pay the bill, in honor of the gods, and give the play to the people as a gift.
There was a Forum in the center of each town of size. The Forum was an open area, and used as the marketplace. Typically, there were buildings around the Forum including a major temple. When it came time to stage a play, a wooden platform was built in the Forum.  
The actors were men:
 Each actor played several roles. They wore simple costumes that could be changed quickly and in public. The actors held up happy face masks and sad faced masks, to help the audience understand what was going on in the play. Over time, masks became very elaborate. 

Actors were not highly respected in ancient Rome:
 It could be a dangerous occupation. When the Romans saw a play they did not like, they shouted at the actors and told them to get off the stage. If they did not get off the stage, the audience might begin to throw things at them.

Paleo means old and lithic means stone.
What is Atapuerca? Why is it important?
It is a mountain range. And it is important because it is allowing to inform the international scientific community the great importance of this unique archaeological complex, which has become a reference for the study of the presence and human evolution in our continent.
Where is it?
Sierra De Atapuerca is in 'Bureba Corridor'. 
What can you find there?
We can a wide variety of flora and fauna species
Write about the most important fact you think it is there.

Charles Darwin:
Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist.
He proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He published his theory with  compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book 'On the Origin of Species'. The scientific community and much of the general public came to accept evolution as a fact in his lifetime.

Essay about the big deal:
    About the BIG DEAL, I think we have to be more respectable to the Earth because if we don't respect our planet, climates will change and a lot of more things; and that would be bad for us in all directions.


CLIMATES:

Hot Climates Zones:
     - Equatorial climate:
The sun shines over all the year and the temperature is high through the year. The rainfall is heavy and falls uniformly in each month of the year.
We can find this climate in... Central America,The Amazon,the Congo basin,the Gulf of Guinea and the southern-east of Asia...
                                              

     - Tropical climate:
Rainfalls are heavy in all months. There are seasonal differences in monthly rainfall but , the temperatures that are about 27ºC mostly stay the same. We can find it in...Central and South America, Central and Southern Africa,south and southeast Asia and north and east of Australia....
                         
                                               
       - Desert Climate:
Winds are lights, and a very dry heat, the deserts covert the 12% of Earth´s land surfaces.We can find this climate in low-latitud deserts and at southwestern United States and northern Mexico; Argentina;north Africa;south Africa and at the central part of Australia.          
     


Temperate Climate Zone:
      - Oceanic climate zone:

 Normally it's find along the west coasts at the middle latitud of some of the world´s continent this climate has cool summer and warm winters. We can find it at much parts of Europe,at coastal northwestern North America, at portions of southern South America and southern Africa and at southeast Australia and New Zeland.                                   
                                                  

      - Mediterranean Climate:
A Mediterranean climate is the climate typical of most of the lands in the Mediterranean Basin as part of Subtropical Climate. We can find it in much of California, in parts of Western and South Australia , in southwestern South Africa, in isolated sections of Central Asia and in parts of central Chile. 
     

      - Continental Climate:
Often winter temperature is cold. And relatively moderate precipitation occurring mostly in summer. Only a few areas in Iran, adjacent Turkey,Afghanistan,Pakistan, and Central Asia show a winter maximum in precipitation, and this typically melts in early spring.
     

  Cold Climates:
      - Polar climates:
Regions with a polar climate are characterized by a lack of warm summers (specifically, no month having an average temperature of 10 °C or higher).  The sun shines 24 hours in the summer, and barely ever shines at all in the winter. Polar climate results in treeless tundra,glaciers, or a permanent or semi-permanent layer of ice. On Earth, the only continent where the extreme polar climate is predominant is Antartica.
                                                                                                



       - High Mountain:
Temperatures are very low. Precipitation is heavy.The precipitations are find in form of snow.

     Transport: in Arroyomolinos we can get the bus to go to many    places.

10)History of Arroyomolinos:
According to some sources, Arroyomolinos was founded during the Muslim invasion, later to be reconquered by King Alfonso VI of Castile in his advance toward the decisive conquest of Toledo (1085). By then, the place was known by the name of the Arroyo Huts. Other sources believe however that the town was founded in 1400, with the same name, later changed to the present. It was during those years when Peter the Cruel Day granted the privilege Gómez de Toledo repopulate the end of Arroyomolinos with 80 inhabitants. By 1476, Juan de Oviedo took over the village and ordered the construction of a tower, now known as Tower or Tower Arroyomolinos Pan When in that year, Don Gonzalo Chacón besieged Oviedo Arroyomolinos to fight, not the Tower been finalized yet, so it was the latter who ordered his termination.
                          
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Tower was used as a barn in his first two floors and a loft in the other three. From this period dates the retapiado of the holes on the upper floors to control birds and was also then that swept the parapet and battlements on the roof, in order to build more than 4,000 nests that once had the tower. Despite its proximity to the highway Extremadura was not significantly affected by population growth in the 1970's that affected other cities around it. But in the early twenty-first century the high price of housing in Madrid, coupled with its low pre-urban development has opened the door to speculation and has driven the population growth, doubling its population in just one year, of 3984 inhabitants in 2005 to 9020 to 2006.

((Según algunas fuentes, Arroyomolinos fue fundado durante la invasión musulmana, para más tarde ser reconquistado por el monarca Alfonso VI de Castilla en su avance hacia la decisiva reconquista de Toledo (1085). Por entonces, el lugar era conocido con el nombre de Chozas del Arroyo.
Otras fuentes sin embargo consideran que la localidad fue fundada en el año 1400, con la misma denominación, para más tarde cambiar a la actual. Fue durante aquellos mismos años cuando Pedro I el Cruel concedió a Día Gómez de Toledo el privilegio de repoblar el término de Arroyomolinos con 80 habitantes.
Hacia 1476, Juan de Oviedo se adueñó de la villa y ordenó la construcción de una torre, conocida en la actualidad como Torreón de Arroyomolinos o Torre del Pan. Cuando en ese año, Don Gonzalo Chacón sitió Arroyomolinos para combatir a Oviedo, el Torreón no se había concluido aún, así que fue este último quien ordenó su finalización.
A finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, el Torreón fue utilizado como granero en sus dos primeras plantas y como palomar en las tres restantes. De esta época data el retapiado de los huecos de las plantas superiores para controlar las aves y fue también entonces cuando se arrasaron el parapeto y almenaje del terrado, con el fin de construir los más de 4.000 nidos que otrora tuviera la torre.
Pese a su cercanía a la autovía de Extremadura no se vio muy afectado por el crecimiento poblacional de los años 1970 que afectaron a otras localidades de su entorno. Sin embargo a comienzos del siglo XXI el alto precio de la vivienda en Madrid, unido a su escaso desarrollo urbanístico previo, ha abierto las puertas a la especulación inmobiliaria y ha impulsado el desarrollo demográfico, duplicando su población en apenas un año, de 3984 habitantes en 2005 a 9020 en 2006.))
