Standards Globalized
Here is a sample of two 9-12 Common Core English/Language Arts Standards annotated for global learning:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.11-12.1
Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
*As a class, we could study current world events and analyze perspectives. As an assessment, they can pick a controversial global issue and argue a side in a developed essay using rhetoric and evidence to advance their claim.
*Students could prepare speeches for a United Nations style Socratic Seminar or debate using what was learned about a specific nation's culture and customs to fuel their perspectives on the topics at hand.
*This standard pairs well with the global competencies of recognizing perspectives and communicating ideas.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.9-10.7
Analyze various accounts of a subject told in different mediums (e.g., a person's life story in both print and multimedia), determining which details are emphasized in each account.
*Analyze media coverage and narrative prose and poetry that captures a cultural perspective and identify the source and purpose in the differences of the details. Students can later discuss the impact of bias and propaganda on the global perception of a nation.
*Students can use various mediums to create ad campaigns to advocate for nations and organizations in need of support for global matters.
*This standard suits all four global competencies, but especially investigating the world and taking action.
Any standard can be globalized! Let's collaborate!
