We+Beat+the+Street-Prereading

While we read our novel, We Beat the Street, you will be expected to respond to questions and assignments through our Wiki. I will let you know when an assignment is posted on the Wiki, and you will have ample time to complete it. Please remember that you can message me through this Wiki and it will be confidential. No one else will be able to read it. Anything you place directly on the page can be seen by all classmates.

As usual, everything through the wiki (privately or publicly) must be school appropriate.

Christian-

Sumera-i think it is good because we can learn bout each different race and see what they think bout themselves

Aaron-I did horrible on the matching. I only got 6 right. Also I took a quiz and I only got right. The quiz was about the history of humans and how we took __form__. The question I got right was “How many years ago did humans evolve?” The answer was 170,000 years ago

Ray- i found it quite interesting because the "skin color is measured by looking at the inside of a arm" apparently..hmm(didn't Know) quite fasicinating I also Did Very Horrible I think i got like 3 right out of all the matching.

Janae- I was suprised about some of the races because i was totally wrong but i guess that shows you cant judge a book by its cover.

Jake-

Becky- I thought that this website was cool I leard alot about all the different kinds of races.

Mira- i thought this website was an interesting fact but i also learned that many of these races look the same but really are different.

Austin-

Oscar-

Dennis- I really liked this bcuz it was fun nd confusing lol. i went on the site and i only got like 3 right because you honestly cant always tell some1's race by the way they look., it was a Chinese lady in one of the pics and i could have sworn that that she was Hispanic. As well as this indian guy who i honestly thought was black. so i really liked it, it was fun and mind boggling:)
