Description
Inquiry Overview:
This lesson will be focused on the question "How can we get people to turn an idea into action?” This is situated at the end of a unit about the Age of Reform in the 19th century.
The purpose of this lesson is to allow students to look at how people can be encouraged to change their behavior to turn an idea– something they want to change or reform– into reality. Students will look at recycling and sustainability in the German city of Kiel as an example. They will then explore the roles governments, businesses, and individuals can play in creating and maintaining change, using modern Germany as a case study.
Students will be assessed on this lesson through their participation in class discussion. They will then be assessed on the whole unit through a project in which they research a modern issue (of their choice) and create a PSA video with a “call to action” on this issue.
