Describe what it looks like to effectively participate in a group discussion.

Let's Demonstrate: How people are affected by various factors in their lives.

SCENARIO 1

You are 11 years old. You have been separated from your family by war. In order to survive, you must walk to an area of safety hundreds of miles away. On the journey, you must avoid soldiers and dangerous wildlife, and manage to find food and water. The journey will take months. You do not know if you will survive or ever see your family again.

 

If this was an experience you had to live through, how do you think

it would affect the person you grew up to be?

You Try!: Break-Out Room Discussion!

SCENARIO 2

You are 11 years old. You live with your family in an area far from towns or cities. Your family does not have any running water or electricity. You are responsible for getting water for your family to drink. To do this, you must walk eight hours every day to a pond and back. You will have to do this every day for years and years.
