= How can WASH be used to teach about children's rights, foster children's solidarity, and engender global competency? =

Work in groups to create a lesson or activity that addresses //**some or all**// of this question. Use the TeachUNICEF primary-school unit and resources and other resources linked to on the WASH landing page ([]), as well as your own experience and insight.

// **IB context:** Think about the transdisciplinary theme you want to explore and the central idea involving WASH that is relevant to it. Then work out lines of inquiry from it. The lesson or activity you develop here can connect to any part or parts of the IB programme of inquiry model. //

Transdisciplinary Theme: Sharing the Planet

Objective: Creating awareness of children’s rights

Opening Activity: Give each student a gallon of water. Have students walk one lap around the track carrying their gallon of water.

When finished with the lap, discuss the fact that in some countries, women and children must carry water into their villages and homes for basic use.

Discussion: In the classroom, brainstorm different ways that we use water every day (flushing the toilet, brushing teeth, drinking, etc.). Discuss how your daily life would be different if you didn’t have a reliable/convenient water supply.

Research: Have students read various magazine articles (such as the //National Geographic// article, //Thirsty Planet)// and investigate websites.

Closing: Develop action plan with ways to help.
