I will give the 6th graders a synopsis of our GT class for this year that we will read and discuss.

In groups, students will play a United Nation’s trivia game.

Tuesday

We will discuss how to paraphrase and summarize material. As a class we will discuss what a world issue is.

As a class we will read a UN News Centre article together then write a summary and then give the significance of the issue/event.

I will send home a informational handout and form to be filled out and returned next Monday.

Thursday and Friday

In partners, students will utilize the links on my blog to find a world news article. They will then write a summary and significance of the article/event. This is due at the beginning of class on Monday.
