Water Deficit
My first option to participate in National Association of Independent Schools 20/20 Challenge is the water deficit problem, basically because in Mexico, this has come to be one of the most challenging and important problems we are facing as a city and as a country. I teach 6th grade Science, and as part of our curriculum, I teach global warming and we talk as well about water deficit. I believe it is very important that we increase our students consciousness about this issue, and raise the awareness of the consequences that we will need to face in the near future because of this problem. As a teacher, I will like to participate with one group of students, throughout the second semester. I believe this will be a great experience for my students, and they will have the opportunity to study and to discuss the problem globally with other students of about their same ages with the same concerns and doubts.
Global Warming
As a second choice, I chose Global Warming which is the last unit of my 6th grade Science Syllabus. I will also participate with one class of about 22 students of 6th grade. The goal would be to raise the awareness of the current problems we are facing due to global warming, learn about what is causing it, and discuss the possible ways that as students , they can help. It will be an excellent way to cover the Unit, they will work on it over the whole second semester. It will be a positive and extraordinary learning experience for my students, and will also develop on the skills that will help them interact better in the future with other students and communities.
