Homework: Finish two worksheets Warm Up: Think back to the video we started on Thursday - What do you think would be the hardest thing to give up if you had to live on a dollar?
Lesson: Since we are learning about Central America and the Caribbean, the students watched a documentary about live in rural Guatemala. The document is titled Living on One Dollar. Read the description below! Click here to watch the trailer. "Living on One Dollar is a film and journey that follows our own experience living on $1 a day for two months in rural Guatemala. We battle intense hunger, parasites and the realization that there are no easy answers, but find hope in the inspiring lives of our neighbors Rosa, a 20-year-old woman, and Chino, a 12-year-old boy. While in Guatemala, we released short YouTube videos about the experience to help our friends learn alongside us in real time. The videos quickly received over 700,000 views, inspiring us to complete a feature-length film, Living on One Dollar, to mobilize others to help end extreme poverty. To our amazement, the film has since won Best Documentary at the Sonoma International Film Festival, and received endorsements from Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, USAID Administrator Rajiv Shah, and the Director of the Hunger Games, Gary Ross."
