Broad Areas of Learning:

- Environmental Awareness &
Consumer Rights &
Responsibilities: Students will
understand how we can
influence the issue of human
trafficking simply with our
everyday consumptions. They
will understand how we have
the power to individually help
decrease or prevent human
trafficking.
- Citizenship & Community Life:
As future citizens, students will
understand the role they play
in a society where such issues
exist. They will understand that
their individual actions affect
others in society.

Universal Design for Learning/

Differentiation:
- The lesson includes different
forms of delivery; short clips,
teacher led (lecture), student
led (discussions) and class wide
(class discussion). Students are
given opportunities to reflect
both individually (online
survey) and with their peers
through discussion. Students
are also given questions to
lead the discussion to ensure
that there is a common basis
for all students.

Reflection:
Though this lesson touches upon a particularly sensitive issue, I hope students will appreciate the opportunity to grow as
future citizens and to take part in spreading awareness about the issue. Usually, students seem curious to learn about
these types of issues that shape our reality.
