I apologize but because of moving offices and other major events my planning of this year's MMCE has not progressed as I had hoped. Today, I will talk about our goals, but at the moment I do not have a plan on how we will reach them. I think that this year will be a little bit of an adventure and I am looking forward to beginning it with you.
Here is the plan for today's meeting:
1) Introduce MMCE and our goals
2) Make CLGs (Based on global issue of interest)
3) Do the world geography challenge in groups. Regions will be chosen based on the countries that we will study.
1. Uighur, China (Global Issue to be studied: Diseases)2. France (Global Issue to be studied: Rich & Poor)3. Russia (Global Issue to be studied: Global Warming)4. Egypt (?) (Global Issue to be studied: Children) 5. Philippines (Global Issue to be studied: Weapons and War) (?)
For next time
