Over the last two weeks, our students have been learning about sustainability, equality, and equity in Social Studies. Students will now focus on researching, designing, and presenting a new sustainable city.
Task: The year is 2100 and our world’s supply of natural resources is at a critical level. Our Earth has become overrun with pollution and overpopulation. The United Nations have hired your team to design a sustainable city that will serve as the blueprint for the future of humanity. If you are not successful, the fate of humanity as we know it will cease to exist. Your group will design a detailed plan, create a model for your sustainable city, and craft a persuasive pitch to present at the next United Nations General Assembly.
