“To what extent should we embrace globalization?” The four issues that students will work though in order to be able to demonstrate an understanding of the above key issue are as follows: Related Issue # 1: “To what extent should globalization shape identity ?” Related Issue # 2: “To what extent should contemporary society respond to the legacies of historical globalization?” Related Issue #3: “To what extent should contribuete to sustainable prosperity for all people?” Related Issue #4 : “To what extent should I, as a citizen respond to globalization?”
The Learning Sequence Chart at the left shows the sequence that students will work through for each Related Issue starting with Essential Outcomes and finishing with the Summative Assessment of the Issue.
