Teacher Resources
This unit includes four lesson plans that engage students in exploring poverty within the contexts of Canada and India. The lesson plans include viewing the documentary Born Into Brothels (2004) and having students evaluate international organizations and grassroots projects involved in working with poverty. Students will create a photographic image to capture issues of poverty within a local or global context. Found on the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) website, the unit plan and student handouts are available for download as PDFs. The unit is designed for use in a Canadian and World Issues course for secondary level students.
