- Today’s lesson will be a continuation of Related Issue 3 with a focus on sustainability. We

will go through a PowerPoint outlining important definitions and concepts that flesh out

Description:
students can relate sustainability to a global initiative and evaluate the policies and actions
that have already been put forth.
- The last video discusses the population increases, specifically the steep incline in the last
1000 years. It will give students a broader sense of our world and how fast our population is
increasing.
- To further exemplify population changes, we will be exploring a population simulator as a
class.
- To culminate the unit, students will work in pairs to answer the question “Is globalization the
key to sustainability? Or is globalization a barrier to sustainability?”
- Technology considerations - We will be using google forms and Jamboard for students to
hand in their responses for the culmination activity.
Students will have a firm understanding of all outcomes and the elements that contribute both
negatively and positively to sustainability. By looking at different examples of actions and
Rationale: policies, students will analyze the content more holistically. The videos provided are engaging
