=How can WASH be used to teach about UNICEF and the CRC and to engender global competency?=

Work in groups to create a lesson or activity that addresses some or all of this question. Use the TeachUNICEF middle-school unit and resources, other resources linked to on the WASH landing page ( []), and your own experience and insight.

Create your work on Microsoft Word or Google Docs and attach it here (under your name and email/Wikispaces username).

Possible directions:


 * How is UNICEF defining the challenges, assessing the problem, addressing the problem, and measuring the outcomes?


 * How can students demonstrate understanding of how WASH is defined as a right in CRC Articles 6 (Life, Survival, and Development), 24 (Health and Health Services), and 27 (Standard of Living)


 * How can a lesson or unit on WASH incorporate the Asia Society framework of investigating the world, weighing perspectives, communicating ideas, and taking action?
