imperialist greed. This activity is engaging and builds on students analytical skills, geography, and debate. Poetry and Art- In this lesson, students are asked to think about and respond to a set of questions about identity, followed by group and class discussion on them. Students are then presented with poem examples on identity, and then are challenged to write their own, after looking at the format and process of writing poetry. The poetry piece should be surrounded by imagery and art that connects to the poem using the students medium choice. This lesson taps into student creativity while building on expression through art and poetry. Global Village- is the final event of this unit, here students research their assigned country and prepare a presentation that exposes the levels of exploitation of people and the environment using data, graphs, charts, images, quotes, testimonies, and names of Transnational Corporations involved in modern day economic imperialism. Students must also find solutions to the global market and point to socially just approaches and relationship building approaches between wealthy and poor countries. Through the inquiry process and real life approach to learning, while making it culturally and globally relevant to the lives of young people, students become engaged in the learning, while taking a stand and find solutions and actions that can be taken to create a more just world. Global Economies- Students will learn terminology such as Third World, First World, Developing Economy, etc., after making sense of the terms students will be given description sheets of countries in the world and determine the type of economies and levels of wealth and poverty of the various countries and explore some of the biggest challenges the countries are undergoing as a result of their economies. Global Case Studies- student will be grouped and assigned a specific country to engage in a case study to develop an in-depth understanding of the given country, students will explore the countrys economy, school system, social classes, political system, culture, customs, traditions, language, and history (before setting up these case studies, assure that you can have access to teachers and classrooms in these various countries through websites bridge students across the world, **see International Project-Based Learning tab for supporting sites). Using the case study guide, students will prepare a presentation, either on poster or using technology, and share with the class. Class members will be given a handout to take notes and develop questions about the country for the presenters. Connecting with the Village- the objective of this lesson is to have students reflect on what they would want to know and learn from young people who reside in a country whose economy is struggling or developing. Students will be handed a template with various categories and aspects of a country and in groups, students will develop questions to ask students, such as Popular-culture: What type(s) of music do you listen to and enjoy? Why? Before submitting this assignment, students must be able test out the questions that they develop by answering them one by one in their own group. This task will strength the team relationship and also help students decide if the questions are good or if they need to be modified. This lesson ends with a reflection on relationship building, what it means, and allow students to think about how their own relationships changed, if at all, by engaging in a simple question/answer activity. Youth to Youth Across the Globe- This lesson will give students the opportunity to connect with another student across the globe using online sites such as Epals, Global Nomads Groups, or Voices of Youth (see the International Project-Based Learning tab for sites descriptions and links). These sites will allow student groups to engage in video conferencing, blogging, or social networking. With the support of the teacher, student groups will create an account and initiate to contact a classroom on their studied country. The goal is for students to get in contact with other young people and have them interact around the generated questions from the prior lesson. Once
the questions have been answered and young people have engaged in conversation, they will reflect on their experience and specifically re-examine the question around what it means to build relationships and community build across the globe? Students can reflect on some of the essential questions listed above or on newly generated questions that begin to rise through this process. 13. International Project- this can be a transition into a new unit that can be internationally and collaboratively developed between teachers throughout the globe. I develop an international project with educators from Ukraine around community cultural treasures that involved filmmaking, and developing cultural understandings.
