Lessons on Media and Global Development for Grades 7-12
Students are introduced to Internet search skills through researching a personal hero. By focusing on the early parts of the research process, students learn to select well-defined topics, ask relevant research questions and select effective keywords. Students then present the information they have found to their classmates in the form of a media product.
In this five- or six-day unit, students create a video podcast to present balanced, unbiased perspectives on global development issues.
