| Write a blog entry called, "If the World Were a Village" and write about the following in paragraph format. (Don't respond to these questions individually. Incorporate them all into a paragraph.)
| Our world is different in many ways that show culture and collaboration. It is amazing that 3/4 of the world has electricity and 25 percent of the world only has a fridge, lights and oven! I wish people could get more water and food in the world because they are the main source we use to stay alive. I wish more people had more education to learn and go to college to have a good chance of a job. I want to improve clean drinking water for people, or at least help people have to not walk miles to get water. I bet I can help by visiting other countries or cities to help others in need of food and water. I could help by going to a state that just has a tornado. |
