Attention teachers! Have you been inspired by our website? Do you think that your students should be introduced with the MDGs and further discuss this issue to them? Do you feel it is important that your students realize that they are the key-contributors in achieving the Millenium Goals? Then we encourage you to take the initiative and use this guide in preparing a plan for an MDG Lesson Plan.

The guide you're about to see is a very basic one, try to expand the range of this concept as you find appropriate for you, your student and the school you are in. We're also encouraging outisde-of-classroom implementation of this.

Lesson Plan

Lesson Planning. We are suggesting that you put the plan into writing. One week Lesson Plan will do. Draft your planned schedule. Do you plan to discuss MDGs by Goals or by Grasp? Either ways, your plan should start with the Introduction of MDGs, why, when and how was it made.

By Goals. It is when you discuss the MDGs goal-by-goal. Deeper introduction for that Goal, ways on how they can help achieve it, progress of each etc. This is more practical for a classroom discussion.
By Grasp. It is when you discuss the MDGs by grasp. First is an Introduction to all the Goals. Second are way on how they can help achieve all the Goals. And lastly, discussion of progress reports. This is how we taxonomize this website.
Free Talk. Don't forget to include a dedicated time for free talk and questioning so your students can voice out their own concerns and opinions as part of your lesson.

Gathering of Materials. You may have done a brief look unto this website by now, we encourage you to encode this website's contents on a Word Application and use it as reference for your Lesson Plan. You can do additional research throughout the Internet, feel free to browse unto our glossary of References. Other Tips:

Books and Pamphlets. Books about the Millenium Development Goals can be seen on some bookstores and you may want to have one handy for additional reference and resource. Publication with UN Endorsment is a plus. Pamphlets and information brochures on the other hand can be acquired by contacting related organizations in your area.
UN Country Offices. UN is also distributing free information packets. Approach your UN country office, most of the time, their subsidiary organization UNDP (United Nation Development Programme) is in-charged for anything MDG-related.

Short Quizzes. It will be best if you distribute some MDG questions after your Lesson so as to see how much your students have learned from it. Here is an example of what you can have: Click here.
