Goal

The pupils become aware of the global dimension of their personal items and things. Their networked and cross-linked thinking is strengthened as well as their competence in critical thinking.

Steps

1. All pupils create a map of their own school.
2. They add every place of their school that they associate somehow with globalisation.
3. The pupils look after eye-catching symbols or icons for the different things. Their own schoolbag, clothes, lunchbox, computer room, smartphone, the materials the school is built with and so on.
4. The pupils write a description of every item on a card.
5. The whole class attaches the cards on the big map of the school. Photos and drafts can be added as well.
6. One question is discussed all together: Why and in what way are these icons (products, places, histories) related to globalisation?
7. The developed and by the pupils created GLOBAL MAPS can be presented in school and show how the pupils see their life connected with the world.
