Each chapter follows the same steps to ship
bi k e s to Africa

Ten they pack them tightly into
a container Tey fill any gaps

New Life for Old Wheels
In most of southern Africa most people walkeverywhere Tats because cars cost too much
And buses and trains are rare
Tis makes life
difficult On foot it
can take hours to do
the shopping or get
water Its impossible for
many children to get to
school Its hard to get
sick people to the doctor
And its difficult to getmedicine to people who
need it
The bike solution
Bicycles allow people to t ravel long distances
quickly Tey also work well on Africas manydirt roads and paths And they dont need gas
to run But in Africa bikes cost a lmost two
months wages Most
people cant afford them
Te good news
Tousands of lucky
Africans now have
bikes anyway thanks to
Bicycles for Humanity
(B983092H)
B4H
Tis group was formed
in 983090983088983088983093 by a group of friends in Canada Tey
decided to collect new and used bicycles then
ship them to people in Africa
Did you knowhellipEach year Americans
buy 983089983093 to 983090983088 mill ion
new bikes and get rid of
983089983088 million old ones
A chapter is a
local group

Observe It organizer (p 983089983089) Alternatively show students the two photos on an overhead
bull Ask pairs of students to compare the photos In what ways are they similar In what ways are they
different Have students record their observations on the Venn diagram ( A key observation for
students to make is the difference in how the bikes are being used In Photo 983075983089 the bikes are

During Readingbull What questions do students have as they read Each time students come across a passage
or text feature in the article that raises a question for them ask them to pause mark
a and write down their question If they become confused they can mark the text
with a Huh and then reread or skip ahead to try to repair understanding
After Readingbull Invite students to share their questions with the class Which can other students answer

collecting old bikes telling other people about the need to send old bicycles to Africa starting a
local chapter or raising money to help chapters cover the cost of sending containers to Africa)
Extensionbull Have students create an informative comic strip showing how Bicycles for Humanity works
Students should include information about why bicycles make such a big difference in Africa
