Wed, Jan 02, 2008 -- Service Learning Opportunity That Combines Rice and Vocabulary Building!

Yes, rice and vocabulary building are rolled into an opportunity to reach out to others! All you need to do is go to the website listed below, read the given vocabulary word, and choose from one of the possible meanings. For each correct answer one of the sponsors of the website donates 20 grains of rice through the United Nations to end world hunger. Even more exciting is the fact that anyone can play...not just the kids! And you can play as many times as you would like! So...let's join together to build our vocabulary and help feed some very hungry people! Here is the website:

https://www.freerice.com

Please send an email to Michelle Verga at mverga@pavcs.blackboard.com with the total number of grains of rice that you have earned by January 31. Let's see how much the PAVCS community can do to help others!

[Zoid]

And people say altruism is dead...

[Riesstiu IV]

For every word I get wrong, 20 grains of rice should be deducted and given to me.

Ah, I thought by the thread title that this was about Condaleeza Rice being imprisoned for something, and that there are people protesting her imprisonment.

Maybe, but maybe not.

400 grains and vocab level 45 before we got one wrong (puissance). Lots of fun trying to work out the answer from parts of the word you know (edentulous), with some very obscure words
