The Global Goals Food Project: Every Plate Tells a Story

This lesson plan, “Every Plate Tells a Story,” provides a guided activity for teachers and students to work together in efforts to bring the Global Goals to classrooms and learning.
The lesson begins by broadly introducing the term “goal” and invites students to make personal connections to people, places, and environments by considering goals in their lives. Learners build knowledge as they integrate understanding of the Global Goals and the processes in which they were designed.
During the lesson, students will engage in a process of inquiry through dialogue, collaboration, and research and will establish concrete realizations of the sustainability of the food they eat. Multiple sources of evidence/formative assessments can be used throughout the lesson to document learning, guide conversation, and inform future instruction.
