Global Goals Research

• Today and tomorrow you will take notes that will be used to create a “Fact Sheet” that will include  8-10 key pieces of evidence about your goal/issue, as well as 2 possible solutions.
• In addition to using the “Global Goals” website, you will take notes from three other websites. It is important to find information from multiple sources and perspectives!  You will use research sheet for this.

• Research tip - look at specific U.N. agencies that deal with your issue. For example, if you are researching an issue about the effects of drought in a specific region, you may want to check the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) website

• Fact Sheet guidelines (may use both sides/2 pages)  Print out and bring to class on Thursday:
• Top of paper - UN Goal number and description
• 8-10 bullet points/images/graphs related to your goal/topic, including at least two visuals (images, graphs, maps)
• 2-3 possible solutions for this goal

for class - June 7th

Using examples from the movie, respond to two of the following prompts on a sheet of notebook paper, 100+ words each:

1. The Springboks were a team that represented apartheid era South Africa. Why do you think Nelson Mandela wanted to keep the team together? Why do you think he was against renaming the team and starting over with a new South African rugby team? 
2. We saw in the final scenes when South Africa won the rugby World Cup that this sport brought people together in a way that had never been seen in South Africa before. Sports have the ability to draw people with many differences together to rally behind a common cause. Can you think of a time that you have rallied behind a sports team and felt part of a larger group because of it? Have you experienced this on different levels (school, city, national or international sporting competitions)? 
3. When Francoise brought the soccer team to the jail to learn about the place where Mandela had been imprisoned, he was shocked and amazed as much as anyone else about Mandela’s living situation for so many years. How did you feel when you saw the cell where he was imprisoned for so long?
4. "Invictus" is a movie based on actual events, while "To Live" is a movie set in a historical context with fictional characters to communicate a story. Compare these two movie making methods. What are the advantages of and limits to retelling a true story through a movie, as opposed to using a fictional story to make a statement about historical events?
