Description

In this unit, students will create a GeoSummit. Each team of students investigates a variety of food issues concerning a developed, transitional or less developed country and its culture. Through collaboration, students create country pavilion exhibits that showcase their research. Upon completion, teams simulate a “tour of the world” by visiting one another’s country pavilions and recording observations in their GeoJournals. Using the information gathered from this experience, students reflect, analyze, and then write a comparison piece that addresses food issues from multiple perspectives.
