8R12 students worked in groups to inquire into a country where people are experiencing hunger problems. They represented their country at the 'Hunger Hot-Spot Forum' where 'delegates' from first-world countries decided how they would each share out their $7,500,000 worth of food aid.
As Mr Hagler notes, "This sort of a task allows the students to explore their world and the many often subtle factors which influence people's ability to live in it." He points out how the task involves students in real-world issues that they will have to tackle when they are adults. "There's a chance that some of these students will do something just like this when they are adults -- practice now!"
