//nhms.northhavenschools.org/apps/classes/1062429/assignments/ Class Name: World Geography 1(B)-1(B) Instructor(s): Andrew Pettola en-us SchoolSitePro //nhms.northhavenschools.org/homeworkItem11745028 //nhms.northhavenschools.org/apps/classes/1062429/assignments/
In this project, you will work in groups to develop your own NGO to tackle a major issue in any Sub-Saharan African country. You will complete some research to see what issues exist in your country, name your own NGO and make a mission statement before coming up with an action plan to address the problem you chose. Of course, you will be connecting your data/issue to the SDGs. You will compile all of this into a slideshow that you will present to your class.

Due Dates:
-A Day: Slideshows April 23, Presentations April 27
-B Day: Slideshows April 24, Presentations April 28

Resources have been provided for you to utilize. Please feel free to research on your own (no Wikipedia!), but make sure to include the site in your slideshows. Here is an explanation of them:

-World Atlas: For the Country Profile Sheet
-Ducksters: For the Country Profile Sheet
-BBC News: This one is not provided, you will need to manually search it. In Google, type in "BBC News (Country Name) Country Profile". For the Country Profile Sheet
-World Bank: For the Pillars of Sustainability Organizer
-SDGs: For the Pillars of Sustainability Organizer and Slideshow

There is also a timeline for you to see what point of the project you should be at for each class (3 in class periods). 

Note: You can split up the research between group members. As long as one set of information is on one person's sheet and the rest on another person's sheet, that will be fine. Meaning, you do not need to have both sheets totally filled out. For the slideshow, have one person share it with each group member and that person will be responsible for submitting the slideshow.

As we continue to examine our "Human Footprint", we will look at a 2007 National Geographic documentary on the "mark" humans make on the earth throughout the average lifespan of human existence. Please follow the directions on this graphic organizer (I'll give you a paper copy to work on) and as you watch the documentary, take notes on the actual number of items we use in a lifetime, and write a reflection to the question asked at the end of the worksheet.
