This lesson focuses on facts, data, and their usefulness in civil discourse, politics, and public policy. Students will be given a quick quiz (not for a grade) to assess their knowledge of several world trends. Students will then use a specific data set from the Our World in Data website to explain one particular aspect of our world.
All of our lesson plans are created for teachers, by teachers. Feel free to use and adjust this lesson plan as you see fit!
