In the last week of class, seventh graders in social studies instructor Dani Waler’s class tested their knowledge and helped end world hunger during a week long competition on www.freerice.com
FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Programme. The website offers trivia questions in different subject matters. For each answer the test taker gets right, the site donates 10 grains of rice through the World Food Programme to help end hunger. Corporate sponsors pay for the rice itself. Subjects include math, geography, English, chemistry, art, and language learning (German, French, Italian, Spanish.)
