On Thursday and Friday we learned a little more about Africa then we really think we know.

On Thursday we had to write what thought of when we heard the word Africa. Then Mr. M put a chart on the board that showed the most used words that we used. One of the largest used words was poor. Sometimes we give people the label of poor because of what we most know about the country. We hear people are adopting there and we need to donate to people there because there are people in need. But really Africa is a cool place and most people there aren’t poor, only certain areas there are. We also think it is mostly desert but it’s not, again only certain areas are. Sometimes we need to be carful what we label places.

On Friday we got to see how many people had good houses, were Christians, had running water, had cell phones, and more things. Not a lot of people had phones, houses and a religion but still there was a good amount of wealthy people.
