As part of the eight week course, each participant was responsible for a unit plan, that was implemented in the classroom, incorporated the elements of global education and used the UbD (Understanding by Design) format.
My unit on Fair Trade offered the opportunity for students to investigate economic justice through fair trade practices, recognize various perspectives from the producers and users of fair trade products, communicate ideas through the evidence they collected during the investigative portion, and finally take action. Throughout the unit students developed a deeper understanding of many complex concepts that do not necessarily have a right answer. In addition to my unit for ELLs, I've included examples of UbD units sorted by each participants current teaching assignment. Each unit will incorporate the four domains of Global Education. These lesson plans can be used in whole and in many cases in part and provide excellent examples of globalized teaching units that can be used across content areas. A blank UbD template can be found at the end.
