Older Students/ World Studies Curriculum
and a Cyber Tour

Here are additional discussion topics to build upon the 1WOW assembly material: What issues do they believe require international agreement to settle on behalf of all people? i.e. hunger, environment, population issues, international armaments, racism, employment opportunities... 

The curriculum ideas and discussion subjects found in the NPCA's Global TeachNet are already listed under links, but they are particularly helpful here, and teachers would do well to visit them.

Global Cyber Tour 

Take your students upon a virtual tour, linked to facts of the countries and cultures visited during the 1WOW program. We'd like to see this site grow, and request your help in referring student appropriate sites to us. Please e-mail us of sites that you know that will improve upon our posting... or of links that have ceased to function.
