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 International Organizations and Treaties:
Overview In this experience, students recall the role of military alliances in the World Wars and make a preliminary evaluation if alliances are positive or negative. Then they learn about three types of international organizations—military, economic, and humanitarian—and create a concept map. Next they write a brief report about an international organization. Finally they compare different treaties between the United States and three other countries, and write an opinion about the United States’ responsibility to be a leader in international organizations and treaties. Students will collaborate in small groups for scene 3. Objectives
International organizations are made up of nations, associations, or individuals that work together toward a common purpose. After World War II, people began thinking more about human rights and paid more attention to issues and problems around the world. Different organizations were created to find solutions to some of the world’s problems. In this lesson, you will learn about some of these international organizations.
Objectives
Major alliances among European countries in 1914
In the unit on the World Wars, you learned that military alliances contributed to the outbreak and spread of World War I. Many nations also entered World War II due to military alliances.
Based on what you have learned so far, do you think that international cooperation through alliances is a positive or a negative aspect of globalization?
There is no right or wrong answer. Tell students they can revisit their answer at the end of this lesson to see if they want to change their evaluation.
