  1. I was surprised because I thought that America created blue jeans and baseball. Other things that came from Europe was fairytales like Jack and the Beanstalk, King Arthur, and Little Red Riding Hood. Europe had the first democracy. Then we copied apple pie. Europe has housemives hundreds of years ago. In the text it states that many movie stars are European origin.

    In my opinion I think if we never copied Europe then we would never have blue jeans, baseball, and applepie.

  4. When I learned that baseball and jeans originated in Europe I wasn't surprised because in the text it stated that many places of Europe is rich and a lot of Famous people came from Europe and went to discover many things. For instance, like the Grimm Brother's who discovered fairytales. Also, other things that came from Europe was apple pie. Europe is known as a continent of kings.

  5. When I learned that jeans came from Europe I said "Oooh! That's surprising!" I'm so excited that Europe made jeans and brung them and also made them known to the United States because if we didn't let Europe come to the United States, we would not be wearing jeans today. I'm so happy I wish I can thank the people for doing that. Other things that came from Europe is apple pie and fairy tales. I also remember baseball came too.

  7. Yes, I was surprised because of first I did not know that baseball and jeans was originated in Europe. It was really surprising when I heard because we would not have jeans to wear and only shorts and it would be really cold in the winter. Also, fables and other things came from Europe.

  9. Yes, it was surprising because I thought that all of the sports were originated in Australia and jeans were made in America. Now I know that not all clothing are made in America. I think so because when I read this article about sports is stated that soccer and football came from another countries.

    Europe is known as a continent of kings.

  11. Baseball and jeans are not surprising to me because most of my cloths say made from Europe. In the test it stated most of the cloths we wear are from Europe. I think many people from Europe has a lot of good cloths that is why I said, "No!"

  12. When I read about Europe and hearing about jeans being originated, I was just a little surprised. The jeans they made were called "Levi Strauss" and I never heard of those jeans and then I realized I had some at home. Other things from Europe that came to America was the fairy tales Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderalla, and Jack and the Beenstalks. The food apple pie came from Europe and now Americans eat it. I'm even surprised because baseball came from Europe and without the European's orginating in the United States then baseball wouldn't be a sport at all.

  13. What surprised me was that the Europeans discovered America. I just thought that America discovered itself and citizens worked their until it got the way it is now. Even if Europe originated jeans it is great. I never knew that they discovered jeans.
