The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Competition for Limited Resources:
Overview In this experience, students watch a video about the state of the world’s agricultural resources and pose questions. Then they summarize key information about fires and deforestation, water stress, food insecurity, and global waste. Next they write an analysis of one of those topics as a potential source of global conflict. Finally they describe an organization that is using global cooperation to combat limited resources. Objectives
