What background information did you gather about this issue? What government agencies and citizen groups would likely address the issue? Are there laws or other rules related to the issue? What is the ultimate goal to address this issue? (In other words, how will you know the problem is solved?) What are the public policy alternatives to address the issue? What are the positives and negatives for each possible policy alternative? Based on your research, which public policy is the best to address the issue? Support your answer with facts. What is the best plan to get the policy enacted? Be sure to include a list of at least three sources of information. Set time aside to revise your work.

Use powerful stats to make kids stop and think

For example nearly half the world's population lives on less than $2 a day and 0.5% of the world's population holds more than a third of the world wealth. The UN has a good site with statistics on different issues. Another great website looking at development numbers is Gapminder.

Use assembly time to reflect on the world around you

Assembly is a great opportunity to get kids reflecting on the world around them, and there are a huge range of resources are available. Christian Aid does an assembly of the month and Oxfam produces something every half-term.

Use the news as a platform to discuss key issues

For example, talk about democracy with the US election, or use hurricane Sandy to talk about development, disasters and climate change, everyone saw the impact in New York, but what about places such as Haiti?

Food is an issue kids can connect to easily

Food is now a critical global issue, after decades of improvements globally hunger is now increasing and one in eight people don't have enough to eat. This is an issue kids can connect to easily. You can find a range of resources, for example Oxfam's Food for Thought resource and organisations like<span> Action Aid has good resources too</span>. Find a variety of resources on food and hunger on the Guardian Teacher Network, collated here.

Learn about the Millennium Development Goals

These are eight global poverty reduction goals agreed in 2000 to be achieved by 2015, with three years left. The prime minister was recently at a meeting in Paris to discuss what we do in 2015 – some successes but many challenges and a great opportunity for debate. Here are colourful photos from around the world illustrating the eight Millennium Development Goals from the charity Practical Action and from the UN Photo Library.

Start with human rights

The 1948 UN Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a commitment to everyone sharing a set of basic fundamental rights, and kids understand this. You can bring a range of issues back to it - for example 67 million kids are denied the right to education every year - a rich topic to discuss. You can bring this to life use with a (very popular) school-based campaign called Send my Friend to School or see UNICEFs Rights Respecting Schools Award. See also these resources from Amnesty which explore human rights as a preparation for entering the Young Human Rights Reporter competition 2013 including this neat summary of the UDHR. Global inequality and self-sufficient education are explored in this resource by the charity Teach a Man to Fish.

Challenge perceptions about the world

A good starting point is Miniature Earth which represents the earth if it were a village of 100 people. Maps are also useful, for example the Guardian's climate change maps, or Oxfam's resource about map projections.

Get pupils thinking about power structures. For example with the global food system, four companies control over three quarters of global grain trade. Find out more about them in this article and this lovely infographic illustrates the degree of monopolisation in the food system. A good tool is the development compass rose which prompts thinking about the political, social, economic and environmental aspect of any issue.

Use a learn-think-act process

Don't stop at the learning, but get pupils thinking about their how to do something as responsible global citizens. This can include raising awareness locally, contacting their MPs, or changing their shopping habits. For more information on global citizenship see this page or Get Global, a great resource pack for teachers.

Use the Global Dimension as a guide

This was developed by the Department for Education as a<span> guide to thinking about global issues with your pupils</span>, it has eight key concepts which can help to guide and organise learning.

Lastly don't reinvent the wheel

There are resources already there. Look at sites like Oxfam's, but also the Global Dimension website – a central clearing house for global learning resources.

Which trio correctly uses a hyphen? Sun-dried tomatoes Cold-damp weather Old-worn sofa Bright-green leaves
Eddi Din [679]

Answer: Sun-dried tomatoes

Explanation: This is the only case in which a noun (sun) is joined to a past participle verb (dried) to form an adjective, which in this case means "dried in the sun." In "cold, damp weather" and "old, worn sofa" a comma should be used instead (we are stacking adjectives that modify a same noun), whereas no punctuation is advised in "bright green leaves," provided <em>bright</em> is acting as an adverb that modifies <em>green</em>.
