5 minute documentary
Integrated with the Understand World Hunger Research Model
Work collaborative with a team to research a hot spot (a country that is currently experiencing a famine or food shortage). Your teacher will assign you to one of the following hotspots: Haiti; Zambia; Ethiopia; Colombia; Bolvia; Afghanistan; Bangladesh; North Korea; Mali; or Swaziland. As a team, you are to create a video documentary that will examine a specific factor that impacts your country's food supply:
450 minutes (180 research/write, 90 film, 180 edit)
Students will investigate global issues that impact the world food supply and identify viable options for reducing disparities.
