Global Goals Video #1 – World’s Biggest Lesson

This video clip introduces the idea of the 17 Global Goals for you to understand what they are and why they are important to each of us.

Malala introducing the The Worlds Largest Lesson from World’s Largest Lesson on Vimeo.

Malala is the girl you saw in the video above, and she wrote a book called Malala’s Magic Pencil. Malala wrote it to explain her own story, and why the Global Goals are so important for so many people all over the world.

Now you are going to have a go at using your own magic pencil to fix up things you think might be wrong in our world.

Next time we’ll learn about another young girl who stood up and took action on Climate Change, Greta Thunberg.

 

Now you are going to complete the information sheet about Malala and Greta Thunberg, and have a go at using your own magic pencil  to fix up our world.

Well done to these writers, Indi, Eli and Olive. You wrote very descriptive tension scenes and I love the way you used your 5 + 1 senses words to bring your writing to life.  Great job! 😎
