Read this excerpt from Wheels of Change by Sue Macy.
It is a challenge for many African girl students to remain in school. A myriad of obstacles often stand in their way. They have so many chores to do in the morning they often cannot get to school or start their lessons on time. Or, their parents need them to take care of younger siblings while they go work in the fields—a job they would never bestow on their boy children. It used to take Lewanika an hour to walk to and from school. Now her biking commute is 20 minutes. Lewanika is able to get her chores done, make it to school on time, and feel refreshed enough to pay attention in class.

3.Read a rough draft summary of Chapter 4 of Wheels of Change.
1 Bicycle racing became popular almost as soon as the first bicycle was introduced in 1878. 2 Although most racers were males, many females soon entered this growing sport. 3 It was not long before races began to occur throughout the United States, attracting large crowds of fans who applauded the competitive efforts of these female athletes. 4 However, despite their determination and successes, not everyone in the community was supportive of women racers. 5 There are always jealous people who selfishly do not like to see others succeed, and bicycle racing was no different. 6 Some believed that women’s place in cycling was "not on the public race path,” and many tried to make it difficult for women to compete. 7 Ultimately, these attempts were too late and largely unsuccessful, and women racers continued to make their mark in the cycling world.
