Hello Everyone,<\/p>\n
As we come to the end of our unit on problem solving, we are looking at two things:<\/p>\n
Number one, we are going to explore the Global Goals of the United Nations that were made to help solve some big world problems by the year 2030.<\/p>\n
Number two, we are going to talk about what YOU, as young people, can do to help with these goals!<\/p>\n
To help us with this, we will watch the first two links in class and discuss. Then, you will take some time to read over some stories of how young people chose to make a difference, when they encountered a problem in the world.<\/p>\n
You will be choosing one person to research further and to create a PowerPoint presentation about them and how they inspire you to make a change in your world, too. You will need to get your choice of person approved by Ms. D before moving forward with further research.<\/p>\n
More details to come in my next post about the project criteria.<\/p>\n
Here are some websites to look over to get you started. You may choose a person not listed here, but our goal is to have each student do someone different.<\/p>\n
Please choose someone by end of day January 31st, Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n UN\u00a0Malala Introducing the World\u2019s Largest Lesson and Global Goals 2016<\/a><\/p>\n UN\u00a0World\u2019s Largest Lesson Changing the World 2016<\/a><\/p>\n Ten Young People Who Changed the World<\/a><\/p>\n UN\u00a0Young People Making a Difference<\/a><\/p>\n Six Young Activists Changing the World<\/a><\/p>\n 40 Incredible Kids Who Changed the World<\/a><\/p>\n Merit Leighton and Marlowe Peyton,\u00a0Plastic Patrol<\/a><\/p>\n Genesis Palacio\u00a0\u00a0Vegetarianism<\/a><\/p>\n Mia Hansen\u00a0Jamba Juice Petition<\/a><\/p>\n Katy Butler\u00a0Bullying Film Petition<\/a><\/p>\n Jonas Corona\u00a0Love in the Mirror Helping Kids Who Are Homeless<\/a><\/p>\n Miguel Billings\u00a0Homes for People in Haiti After Hurricane<\/a><\/p>\n Mikaila Ulmer\u00a0Me & the Bees Nutrition and Pesticide Concerns<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Myteberi\u00a0Helping a Syrian Boy During Syrian Civil War<\/a><\/p>\n Zianna Oliphant\u00a0Speaking Up Against Violence Against Black People<\/a><\/p>\n Tokata Iron Eyes\u00a0Indigenous Voices About Climate Change<\/a><\/p>\n Robby Novak\u00a0\u00a0YouTube Star Kid President Inspires Positivity<\/a><\/p>\n Lalita Prasida Sripada Srisai\u00a0\u00a0Invention to Clean Water<\/a><\/p>\n Ann Makosinski\u00a0Hand-Powered Flashlight<\/a><\/p>\n Leah Nelson\u00a0Becuz I Care Campaign for Kindness<\/a><\/p>\n Marley Dias\u00a0\u00a0Activist to Author\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Levi Draheim\u00a0Fight Against Global Warming<\/a><\/p>\n Ruby Bridges\u00a0Civil Rights Trailblazer<\/a><\/p>\n Yash Gupta\u00a0Helping Others See<\/a><\/p>\n Anne Frank\u00a0\u00a0Power of Her Diary<\/a><\/p>\n Stevie Wonder\u00a0Blind Musician Makes a Difference<\/a><\/p>\n Aisholpan Nurgaiv\u00a0\u00a0Eagle Huntress<\/a><\/p>\n Louis Braille\u00a0\u00a0Inventor<\/a><\/p>\n Sacagawea\u00a0Explorer<\/a><\/p>\n Dylan Mahalingam\u00a0\u00a0Philanthropist in the Digital Age<\/a><\/p>\n Wolfgang Mozart\u00a0\u00a0A Musician at a Young Age<\/a><\/p>\n Helen Keller\u00a0\u00a0Biography<\/a><\/p>\n Ryan Hreljac\u00a0\u00a0Philanthropist Ryan\u2019s Well<\/a><\/p>\n Adele Ann Taylor\u00a0Advocate for Literacy<\/a><\/p>\n Akrit Jaswal\u00a0\u00a0Young Surgeon<\/a><\/p>\n Thandiwe Chama\u00a0Children\u2019s Rights Activist<\/a><\/p>\n Margaret Knight\u00a0Inventor<\/a><\/p>\n Jack Andraka\u00a0Scientist, Pancreatic Cancer<\/a><\/p>\n Katie Stagliano\u00a0Philanthropist, Katie\u2019s Krops<\/a><\/p>\n Malala Yousafzai\u00a0Activist for Girls\u2019 Rights<\/a><\/p>\n Greta Thunberg\u00a0Swedish Environmental Activist<\/a><\/p>\n Sylvia Mendez\u00a0Activist for Racial Equality<\/a><\/p>\n Rene Silva\u00a0Journalist to Change Lives<\/a><\/p>\n Nicholas Lowinger\u00a0Philanthropist, Gotta Have Sole<\/a><\/p>\n Samantha Smith\u00a0\u00a0US Ambassador<\/a><\/p>\n Nkosi Johnson\u00a0Activist for Kids with HIV\/AIDS<\/a><\/p>\n Praveen Kumar Gorakavi\u00a0\u00a0Engineer Helping Others<\/a><\/p>\n Emma Watson\u00a0\u00a0Actor and Activist<\/a><\/p>\n Cassandra Lin\u00a0\u00a0Environmental Activist<\/a><\/p>\n Om Prakash Gurjar\u00a0Children\u2019s Rights Activist<\/a><\/p>\n Clara Schumann\u00a0Musician<\/a><\/p>\n Easton Lachappelle\u00a0Robotics Engineer<\/a><\/p>\n Claudette Colvin\u00a0Advocate for Equality<\/a><\/p>\n
