Dear students,
I would like you to remember that this school year, YOU! sixth graders, are invited to
participate actively in our Human Rights Project related to one of the most important
issues for all of the living beings, our environment and our food system-food habits. So, let
´s keep on preparing and gathering information to be prepared and profit the opportunity to
research their food system, interview people who represent various aspects of the food
system, and survey your community so that you will share your findings ,
recommendations and your own sustainable healthy recipe proposals with ALS community
becoming further protagonists in your own community supporting your development of
innovative problem-solvers, reflective
thinkers, and engaged citizens.
Below you can find two sources you need to explore, analyze and take notes to develop
the task assigned and participate in a group discussion next week. (You must upload

 In this video, we'll learn how simple food choices (like choosing beef vs. chicken for
your next meal) can make a huge difference for the environment. Below are
discussion questions you can use in the classroom in conjunction with this video to
engage your students in thinking about their own food choices.

PART 1. Video Discussion Questions

1. How do the foods we eat and choices we make impact

the environment?
2. What would happen to our available resources if
everyone on the planet cut their meat consumption
in half?
3. How does eating chicken instead of beef influence
the water and land footprints of our diets?
4. Why do you think beef is so resource-intensive?
5. Is there a way farmers can raise cattle that is
better for the environment?
