Globalization 4th Quarter Benchmark
Big
Idea: Evidence of globalization is everywhere in our day-to-day
activities. All around us, the influences of global factors drive
decisions, impressions and understanding. In order to internalize this
influence and impact, we look to our familiar surroundings for images
that represent the different topics and themes we study in
Globalization.
Basics:
- Take
10 original photos that represent a different aspect of the
globalization curriculum – reference the course outline for a list of
the themes and concepts
- For
each of the images, write at least two paragraphs that explain the
connections between the image and the globalization theme. These
paragraphs need to draw clear connections between the theme,
Philadelphia and reputable resources.
- A 10 source bibliography (not annotated) MLA format
- Choose a presentation tool that best represents your ideas (this are just a few ideas, there are many, many more)

Suggested Use of Time in Class:
Week
One: Brainstorm a list of images/scenes that you would like to capture
and tie each of those to a theme from the Globalization course outline.
Week
Two: Research each of the themes, looking for a reputable source to
support the ideas you would like to represent in each of the different
images and corresponding paragraphs. When you write your paragraphs,
you should specifically cite these sources in the paragraphs.
Week
Three: Write your paragraphs and complete your bibliography, pull
together the images, paragraphs and bibliography into a published
format.
Outside of class homework: Collect images and finalize any requirements not finished in class.
Example:
The
demographic shift within Alma Center, WI is best exemplified by these
side by side signs. Over the past 20 years, the number of Spanish
speaking immigrants has grown dramatically in this small, rural farming
town. Interestingly the long settled families of this area match many
of the cultural and societal norms of the new immigrants settling in the
area with a focus on religion and families. Prior to the recent
migration of Latino immigrants, the predominant cultural backgrounds
were from Northern Europe.
