Classroom Integration

• After researching have students list the pros and cons of thinking of themselves as global citizens.
  
  
• Students prepare a PowerPoint presentation examining their choices of pressing global issues and engaging the class in dialogue on these issues.
  
  
• Read and discuss entries in the Discussion Forum on the website. Within your class, create the opportunity for an "in class only" forum.
