Group 7
Another current crisis that interests you....

The Task: You are to research your topic and prepare a creative represenation of the global issue to your classmates. Note which UN rights are being violated. How the situation is being handled by humanitarian aid workers; how children are being affected; note the story of one particular child.

You are to bring awareness and understanding of your topic to the MPC population.

You might choose from one of the following:
1 minute video
cartoon
animation

infographic

After this we will write to our MP about our concerns related to one of the global issues. I will teach you how to write a letter to an MP.
