Lesson Plan

Social Action “Thinking Globally, Acting Locally”

In this challenge, students will develop criteria for an effective action plan by considering a variety of examples of how individuals and groups have taken social action. They will use these examples, and their previous knowledge, to build criteria for an effective action plan. Then, they will work in groups to research a global issue of social justice and come up with their own proposal for an effective action plan. Finally, they will present their proposal to the class. The class will decide on the most effective plan, based on the criteria they had developed earlier.
