Water along with other resources are a common commodity that can be abused  by a few individuals who neglect others and overuse resources. To ask students to consider water issues forces them to consider others and how their actions can affect a multiplude of people outside their personal circle. ]]> 2018-02-28 00:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214742 https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214842 I would use this video that was shown in class to put the water crisis into perspective and make students realize that the water crisis is an actual problem. ]]> 2018-02-28 00:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214842 https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214879 This lesson increases awareness that forces students to be faced with the question "Now what?! Or what are you gonna do about it?". This type of discussion forces students outside of their boxes. That in it of itself will help to build up their feeling of responsibility. ]]> 2018-02-28 00:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214879 https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214888 Natural resources are depleting, leaving many nations with little to none. In addition, some groups of people have to do this everyday anyways. I would relate this to a lesson on developed and underdeveloped countries and the vast differences between countries. Students would then be able to compare and contrast their situation with that of others.]]> 2018-02-28 00:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214888 https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214900 It would be a very different world to have to think about turning a tap on or not having a tap at all.  Also think about already low income families have to make tough choices.    We are learning about the Egypt/Ethiopia issue.   Maybe have class plan a service learning activity to help Cape Town through donation collection and allocation.]]> 2018-02-28 00:38:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emilyperez5070/buq05x1kwpww/wish/236214900
