Each student in the group represents a different country, creating a “mini UN.” Choose an international, national, local, or schoolwide problem (for example, global warming, emission laws, rules you don’t like or lack of recycling). Each mini UN needs to come up with a “united” plan using the Action Steps to solve the problem.
