Interconnections (In the Global Classroom Chapter 2)

Elementary, Middle, Secondary

Description

In the Global Classroom is the first of a two volume resource that focuses on the themes of personal and world awareness. It is practical in nature, providing the teacher with unlimited opportunities to use the activities with maximum success at different grade levels and in different curriculum areas. The book provides a diverse range of activities and is organized thematically to coincide with popular topics in social studies, language teaching, science, health, environmental education and other curricula areas.

In the Global Classroom begins with an introduction to global education, and every chapter includes case studies and photocopiable activities with a matrix linking the concepts and ideas in one chapter to those in other chapters.

A review of the tables of contents of the books reveals a variety of topics covered: Environment and Sustainability, Health, Perceptions, Perspectives and Cross-Cultural Encounters, Technology, Futures, Peace, Rights and Responsibilities, Equity, Economics, Development, Global Justice, Citizenship, and Mass Media. Illustrations, photographs, easy-to-use indexes and straightforward guidance on how to successfully implement the activities and relate them to program outcomes, as well as ideas and suggestions for follow up reading, make this resource an accessible and a highly readable practical resource.
