In all the 5th grade classes students have discussed the current drought in Campinas. We have brainstormed ways to conserve water, but unless it rains it might not be enough. Water is a basic need of life, and millions of people around the world don't have access to clean water. Watch the video below and comment on the director's purpose and message. Was it powerful? Why or why not? Does it persuade you to think twice about your water usage? Why or why not?

We need to have enough water for everyone so they can live. You should start by taking less and shorter showers.second if the water is still cooled and your waiting for it to get hooter you should put a bucket under the water and then wait till it gets hot when it does take the bucket out of the hot water then use the cold water to water your plants.

I think that we should save water and we can do that by taking shorter showers. And we can also put buckets of water under the cold water when we take a bath, and then we use the water to water the plants.

We should save water so the world doesn't become a giant fire ball.We can do that by putting a bucket under your shower until the water gets warm and we can throw that water in the toilet so we don't wast water and it makes the toilet flush.SAVE WATER!!!!!

I think this was a really sad video because the man didn't even care that he through his water bottle on the floor and it takes a lot of tome for a bottle to dissolve and because the boy was also thirsty and the man didn't even asked the boy if he wanted some water.

We need water for the future generation or else what will happen to the future generation. Their life is in our hands and we are throwing our grandchildren's lives down the drain. A simple act to do everyday isn't much to ask , but that act if everyone does it , it can save the world.I think we can waste less water by taking shorter showers , leaving a bucket under the shower until it gets warm and use it for other things you don't need clean water to do. Also we can turn off the faucet when we are brushing our teeth.A good one is don't flush for too long so less water can come.

I think this video was very persuading because you could see why we should`t waste water and it persuaded to not waste water.The moment the guy threw the bottle on the floor it all came to me.He shouldn`t of done that because the bottle still had water and the water speaded on the floor and maybe the boy wanted water too.Also the bottle will probably fly into the ocean and it could kill other creatures in the sea.

This video was short, but strong and meaningful. It made me think of when I was a child, I didn't know if water is special.

I think the video was powerful because the kid also wanted the water but the dad threw like half of it away by throwing it in the floor. It persuades me because we can see how we do not notice how we waste water and others need water too so we need to save water.

I think this video is powerful because it is showing you to use the water nicely to save the next generation you gotta waste the less amount off water possible and be carefull. You saw that man he drank all the water and the kid didnt get nothing so remember SHARE!

I think that persuaded me a lot because I could kind of imagine that boy's emotions. And we will need water for the future and to survive. Without water we would be all dead. And humans would be extinked.

I think this was a bad example for people that don't understand. I saw that there were still some water left in the bottle so the boy could have drank some too. The bottle was a new bottle and he used up everything in a second. I know that the man was very tired but he wasted tons! If we use all these water up, the future generation will be very poor. It persuades me because I leave the water on when I take shower because I can't open the faucet with soap on my hands.

The video was very powerful to me, because when the boy realized there was no more water the expression on his face was miserable and disappointed. It looked like he knew that he wasn't going to drink water for a long time, because he didn't argue back he just looked down and gulped. After watching the video I will reflect about how I used water and will start thinking of ways I can save water, because I don't want to feel like the boy in the video.
