Term 2 Week 1

Welcome back to Term 2! As you know, Ms. Lambert has moved on from the school to even starrier heights. I am Mr. Mitchell, your new Global teacher for the rest of the year. I will formally introduce myself in the lesson, but you are all pretty familiar with me so it won't be dramatic or anything. The main two key things to understand are: I am familiar with the assessment work you did last term, and we are capping off last term's context within Week 1, as we have a very cramped next few weeks due to the fixed date for the assessment, which I will keep you informed about.

This week will be your last pit stop on the discussion of global inequality, where we look at the haves & have nots of certain countries, and create a strong definition of what the 'global north' and 'global south' are. Where does New Zealand fit in these countries? Are we exploiters?

Success Criteria: 

• I can locate different families across varied economic scales and describe their challenges unique to their income and location.
• I can show my understanding of North & South as more than geographic locations and explain their economic connotations.

Activities:

1. Dollar Street - comparing families from the Top 10 and Bottom 10 countries (Supporting documents on Google Classroom)
2. Global North & Global South - definitions and applying our knowledge

Follow Up Tasks:
N/A - Assessment happened in Week 1, though opening slideshow did briefly go over some work they may have forgotten over the break.
