4. But Social Studies is GLOBAL...

5. What If.....Turn and Talk
More than half the world's population
lives on less that $2 a day- to eat, get
around, have shelter, go to school, etc.
What would look differently able your
life if you had to live on $2 per day?
What if school was not free? How
would you be taken care of if you were
sick? I know this is very difficult to
imagine, but try to put yourself in that
place for just a moment.......

7. Lesson
Stop & Jot
Take a minute and jot down what you think a right is. What rights do you
think you are entitled to as a human?
Now let's Turn & Talk
Based on what you just watched and the photo book how has your opinion
changed? What rights do you think all humans should have? Should all
human's have specific rights that they are entitled to no
Lets Create.....
Now that you have jotted your thoughts and talked with your teammates
using Wordle create a word cloud that displays what a human right is in your
opinion and what rights you think all humans should have.
