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 South Asia: Government and Economy:
In this experience, students create economic passports for three countries in South Asia—India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh—and consider the implications of some of their findings. Next, they use a map that compares economic aspects of the region with the United States, drawing conclusions about what they find. Finally, students explore the topic of child labor as a part of the economic system of South Asia and consider what they and others can do to help stop it. Students collaborate in small groups for scenes 2 and 3. Objectives:Overview:
You may not realize it, but the things you purchase in your hometown are often created far away. For example, the T-shirt you are wearing may have been made in South Asia. To be an educated citizen of the world, it’s important for you to know what economies are like in places far from you. That’s what you’ll explore in this experience!
Objectives:
Describe what you see in this photo.
Lead students in a discussion of what they see in the photo. They will notice that it is a child who is working; he is very young; he is working on a machine; and so on. Ask students why they think he is working and what they think it might be like to work at his age.
Divide students into their small groups and assign each group one of three countries: India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh. Assign a reporter to upload the result for each group, or tell the students to choose their own reporter.
When everyone is ready to continue, unlock the next scene.
