Secondary school children from a developing country. We know this because there are no walls to the classroom so the climate must be hot. The desks are close together but there does not appear to be enough desks for each child. The students are poorly dressed. The classrooms are made with wooden poles and have bamboo walls and grass roofs (except for the new science lab which has a metal roof). The floor has bamboo matting on it. The walls do not reach the roofs (except the walls of the science lab). There is no glass in the windows. 4. What can you say about the village? The village was a very small. It is by a river at the bottom of a valley. It has steep slopes all around it. 5. What can you say about life in the village? The village huts are small. They have no windows. They are made of wood and bamboo and have grass roofs. Meals are prepared and cooked outside. One of the crops grown is peanuts. The tool used for this crop is a digging stick. There is a woman carrying a naked baby on her shoulders. She is also carrying a heavy-looking bag. She has bare feet.
