Too many students are dropping out of school, failing to engage in the classroom, or inadequately preparing for their future.
Day 5 allows for students to explore these problems associated with poverty and use prior knowledge to come up with ways in which we can help those living in poverty to improve their poor educational systems. Today the teacher will rap up the unit on poverty by reflecting on past day's lessons and reviewing with the class what they have learned. This lesson will be engaging for students because they have already learned this information so they will be able to participate in the discussion. Before the discussion, the teacher will explain todays lesson telling the students that they will use their new knowledge that they have learned to complete the assignment. The teacher will inform the students that many children do not have the same opportunity that they have to attend school and receive an education. Therefore these students need to be advocates in promoting education. Using Strategic Thinking, students will develop a strategy to achieve their particular vision for the future of education system in countries that live in poverty. Strategic Thinking encourages students to reach the future by creating a path from the present. This means that students must begin thinking about ways in which they can help to reduce poverty in the school system. In this lesson students will write a letter to communities in Developing Countries influencing them on ways in which they can help to improve their educational systems and lower the rate of children that do not attend school. This letter should go into detail and include reasons why education is important for all children in the community to have, how they can achieve millennium development goals, ideas on how they can get children to attend school, and a plan in ways that the community can reduce poverty in the education systems and improve the schools. Today's full lesson is attached here. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to construct a letter to the communities in Developing Countries addressing ways that they believe they could improve education systems by using the five parts a letter: heading, greeting, body, closing statement, and signature. Students will also be able to understand the purpose and audience of their letter
