A lesson plan for grade 5 Social Studies
In this lesson from the National Geographic Xpeditions website, students focus on the United Nations, learning about this organization’s functions, purposes, and the broad geographical range of its members. Then students are asked to apply the concepts behind the UN’s mission to their own school, creating an alliance of students or school groups.
