Learning modules for junior and senior high school students utilize a variety of data sources and develop multiple skills, including critical reading and thinking skills, Internet research skills, and the ability to work with others in a group. The modules below include multiple lessons that can be downloaded and used in the classroom or assigned for homework.
Learning About Surveys (12 lessons)Students will examine and participate in the design, development, implementation, analysis, and interpretation of surveys. The culminating activity enables the students to apply the skills and knowledge that they have developed in order to implement a survey of their own design and then interpret and report the results of their survey. The project is made up of several modules. The project can be used in its entirety or different modules can be used to supplement other classroom goals and objectives. Although this project is student-centered, it is not a standalone project that students work through independently. Teachers must take an active role in presenting, modifying, and managing the different aspects of the project. Please feel free to use any or all of the learning resources presented as part of this project. |
Developing a National Religious Profile (Three lessons)Students will develop a religious profile guide for a country to which Doctors Without Borders (MSF) sends volunteers. The guide should help volunteers understand the religious climate of that country in order for the volunteers to be better prepared to work within that country. Students will use the National Profiles section of the ARDA website to research and gather the necessary information to create the guide. |
