2. Introduction
• In this course we have learned about twenty-first century
vocabulary. Some of these are: global awareness, critical
thinking, business literacy, ethics communication, social
responsibility, and people skills. These are projects that access
and use these skills to focus on their twenty-first century
learning.

3. A list of ideas considered for a
global-learning project
• 1. World hunger Service project- Students research hunger
statistics from around the world, then visit a food bank, and
lastly participate in a food drive.
• 2. Recycle project- students start on Monday writing down
everything they throw away. On Friday they go over this list
with the class a determine what could have been recycled. Then
the students set up recycle bins around campus and set up
collection or drop offs with local recycle companies.
• 3. Pennies for peace project- students would raise money to
help build schools in countries such as Afghanistan or Pakistan.

4. Rationale
• 1. World hunger addresses the global knowledge,
business vocabulary, people skills, and critical
thinking skills. They have to set up the food drive
decide how it will be run and managed as well as how
to get donations. Make it their project they run it. They
have to work together

5. Outline of the key points-World
Hunger
• Over 500 million people world-wide live in major
poverty.
• 15 million children die from hunger every year.
• One-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-
fed and one-third is starving.
• Every 3 seconds someone starves to death.
• World hunger can be prevented by things such as
global service projects, food distribution, government
involvement, and education.
• Nearly 1 in 4 people in the world live on less than 1
dollar per day.

6. Implementation of the World Hunger Global Service
learning Project into the Classroom
• Discuss the creation of a global service learning project with the
administrators for permission and indicate the benefits.
• Seek partnering organizations to join also targeting world
hunger such as WFP (World Food Program) or Free Rice.com.
• Use educational technology to research global issues relevant to
world hunger.
• Implement the topic of World Hunger into lessons and align
with state standards in subject areas for English, Math, Science
and Global Studies.
• Implement collaboration tools such as Skype or Voice, Thread;
free accounts can be setup.

7. Effects on global learning
• For instance, global learning allows students to collect
information, organize information, and discover new
facts and events.
• In addition, global learning raises awareness of global
environmental issues and education that prepares
students to collaborate on global issues.
• As a global learner learns about such issues it helps
individuals to have emotion and to reason in different
situations that may arise in his or her life which in turn
improves an understanding of the world.

8. Possible effects on the world
• Through this program, students as well as educators
will get a full understanding and education on different
parts of the world and cultures.
• Effects of this will include helping the less fortunate
while demonstrating leadership in organizing food
drives and donation banks.
• Working with and for other countries around the world
will promote communication and better relationships.

9. Conclusion
• Group B would agree that we have learned a lot from this
project. To bring our students into the 21st century we must use
vocabulary and projects that tap into 21st century skills. The
project on world hunger does just that. Students address the
hunger issue on both a global and local level. In accordance
with the common core and the “D” quadrant of the blooms
chart, this project also addresses their critical thinking skills.
