Students present their facts and responses to them to the class. Posters should then be displayed in the classroom. Each student selects a fact presented in the article that is particularly interesting or affects him or her in some way. Students then write letters to the United Nations discussing this fact and offering at least two suggestions for possible ways that the consumption issue addressed in the fact could be altered to benefit other people, countries, or the world. Students can research the history of the United Nations.
Students can choose a country on which to focus.
Students can then locate and compare Human Development Report statistics from 1990 to the present. They can report on the history and culture of the country and analyze factors that contribute to its current development status. Students can debate the notion of responsibility with regards to these facts. Language Arts Students can research organizations that assist less developed countries. If possible, speakers from these organizations can address the class on what all of us can do to assist people in less developed countries.
