Grade 9 Students Complete Global Issues Global Solutions Project

Last week, Grade 9 students wrapped up their Interdisciplinary Unit - Global Issues Global Solutions, which combined their learning and skills from Individuals and Societies classes and Science classes. The International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum is built to help students connect their learning between subjects and develop problem-solving skills, and the Global Issues Global Solutions Unit is a great example of interdisciplinary learning at ISI. 

For the Global Issues Global Solutions project, students were each assigned a Less Economically Developed Country (LEDC). They spent time investigating their country's history and, through their research, learned about diseases that threaten the country, as well as environmental, economic, and social issues the LEDC may be facing. 

Students then narrowed their project topic to one developmental issue their LEDC faces and proposed a potential solution. Their solutions drew from their learnings in both Science and Individuals and Societies. 

This project is also an opportunity for students to develop their presentation skills, as it culminates in a showcase of their process and solutions to the ISI community. In addition, students will explain what an Interdisciplinary Unit is and how they have learned about their LEDC through an interdisciplinary lens.
