In an increasingly interconnected world, your child will grow up facing complex global challenges that require cooperation, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of how nations work together. This comprehensive 1-day unit study, designed to be an educational activity on United Nations Day (October 24), equips elementary-aged students with essential knowledge about international cooperation while building the literacy skills they’ll need to navigate and lead in tomorrow’s world.
The unit study follows the Pallas Literacy Building FrameworkTM:
