Walk to Water Blog
On Wednesday the sixth and seventh grade met at Rocky Nook park to fill up water jugs to carry to school. We did this because the seventh grade is reading a book called the long walk to water. It is about the need of water in Sudan. Our goal was to get an idea of what its like to have to get water and carry it for a distance. We only walked about a mile and it was up to us on how much water we carried. I carried about 4.5 gallons in a backpacking backpack and it was heavy! I had it easy because I had the backpack but for some I could tell it was really a struggle. I think everyone in SB should just put in money to send the people there either backpacks or wheelbarrows or something because something so small can save lives. I think we should have carried the water every morning for a week because that one morning was more fun than anything and I dont think that was really the point of the assignment.

Great Job Emma! I really enjoyed reading your blog! I liked your suggestion about the backpacks and wheelbarrows. : )
I think that it helped describe the walk when you said that you could see a lot of people struggling.

I like how you talked about the reason that we were doing the walk, and how we started thinking about that. I also liked how you talked about what we should do to help the people who really did need to carry water to survive.
Emma! I love your suggestions and can tell how much thought you put into your writing. It was interesting to hear how you think people could help Sudan's water issues.
Emma, I liked your suggestions about the backpacks and the wheelbarrows!!
