Are not cheeseburgers
Are like choosing a country to explore. 😆]]> 2017-01-27 12:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/149847784 olaia https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/149847955

is a tool that helps us with cultural understanding and provides us HOS opportunities

Global Context is not an "add-on" once the unit is created.

Global Context is like an exploration into difference, diversity and understanding.]]> 2017-01-27 12:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/149848158 https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/149848272 2017-01-27 12:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/149848272 https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/150032010 Globalization and Sustainability
(Commonality)
 Students will employ the thinking routine COLOUR - SYMBOL - IMAGE about a local environmental problem/issue which concerns them and other members of the community.
For example: SMOG
COLOUR: Grey
SYMBOL: Smoking chimney
IMAGE: A picture or drawing of the city shrouded in smog.
The idea is to use this exercise as a point of departure for deeper inquiry into how to raise awareness around environmental issues and concerns. The intention is to look at shared global problems and common solutions and/or coping strategies. This will help them to contextualize their summative task which is to write a story which is semi-autobiographical about how the student "thought global by acting local.]]> 2017-01-28 11:48:04 UTC https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/150032010 olaia https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/150032041 Identities and Relationships
(Motivations)

PPT presentation with slides with 2 opposite pictures (books/movies, team sports/individual sports, water/soda...). Students need to choose one of the slides and explain which photo you can identify with and why. ]]> 2017-01-28 11:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/150032041 https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/150032059 Students will create a recording of them being on a talk show such as Jimmy Kimmel or James Cordon. They are still the same person they are now but fast tracked to ten years from now, they are a professional in an aspect of the entertainment industry. It must be something they have some sort of connection with. Questions should aim to provide an insight into who they are as a person. 
This task allows them to understand how to derive information that could be of use when expressing what makes them unique as a character.]]> 2017-01-28 11:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/150032059 https://padlet.com/arankin75/zlmd89b0d79z/wish/150032124 Scientific and Technical Innovation (Methods)                              
Students will go to the local community to research and document the different market research strategies.
Student will form groups in the classroom representing one of the strategies, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy.

Identities and Relationships - explore communities and culture
Bring in a guest Flamenco Dancer to perform for the students.
After the performance the students will do the visible thinking routine - see, think, wonder
What did you see in the performance?
What do you think, about the movements, music, costume?
What do you wonder about the performance?
All small group discussion.
Performer teaches the dance to students.
