Students will share with classmates their knowledge about the country they have been studying throughout the module.

Process

1. Each team will select one aspect of its Learning Tree Storyboard Project to present to the class. This could mean presenting all aspects of one Learning Tree Storyboard (HIV/AIDS, Hunger & Food Security, Water & the Environment), or one particular aspect of all of their Learning Trees, or another combination students choose.

2. One member from each team will be part of a discussion panel.

3. The teacher will moderate the panel discussion and invite teams to take note of some aspect of another team's project that they can incorporate in their Learning Tree Storyboard(s).

4. Each student will be given 5 minutes to present on the panel.

5. At the end of the panel presentations, the teacher will open a discussion with the class.

Possible questions include:

• What surprised you the most about the presentations?
• What were some of the similarities you saw between countries?
• What are some of the differences?
• Do you think Canada should be involved in helping developing countries?
• What about the problems we have at home, who should be helping Canadians?
• How can you help?

Extension

Brainstorm with the class on an activity it can do to help and that the class can take on as a project at the end of the module. For example, a project in the school (e.g. create an awareness poster, fundraising activity), a project involving the local community (invite speakers from a community or non-governmental organization to the school), a project to connect with other communities in Canada or around the world (join discussion forums or create a discussion forum, twin with a school/organization in another country), plan an event to raise awareness about poverty and basic human needs or about one of the themes covered in the module (for example, organize an event to commemorate World AIDS Day on December 1st), etc.
