The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for A Lack of Freedom in Today’s World:
In this experience, students look at a map to see the areas of the world that are considered “not free.” Then they learn about some of the ways that “not free” governments function. They explore the way that the North Korean government controls its citizens. Next, they individually research another “not free” country and report back to the group. Finally, students write their own freedom manifesto, listing the freedoms they believe are most important. Objective:Overview
How many times in your life have you said “Wait, that’s not fair!” You are used to the freedom of saying what you think and resisting ideas that are not fair. But that’s not how it is in every country in the world. Why is that an okay thing to say in some countries and not in others? You’ll explore why in this experience.
Objective:
Slum in Havana, Cuba in 1954
What do you notice about the map?
Discuss student findings. Students will likely notice that much of Africa and Asia is purple, which means it is “not free.” Most of North America is “free.” The United States, where students live, is free. Some parts of the world are “partly free.” They may wonder what that means.
What do you think “not free” means?
Discuss student responses.
