Glocal Community Resources


Global learning starts locally. These ideas show how your school community can connect with global themes right at home:
 

  1. Local Colleges and Universities – Partner with international students or global studies faculty for guest lectures and cultural exchanges.
     

  2. Cultural Centers and Museums – Use their exhibits or educational outreach programs to explore history, geography, and language.
     

  3. Refugee Resettlement Organizations – Invite speakers or organize student service-learning projects.
     

  4. Local Businesses with International Ties – Bring in business leaders to discuss global trade, languages, and intercultural skills.

​

​

💡 Pro Tip: Start small. Reach out to just one local organization or college contact to begin a conversation—you don’t need a big event to make a big impact. Even a guest speaker or a simple classroom Q&A can spark powerful global connections right in your community. Keep it authentic and student-centered—real stories and relationships are where the learning takes root.

Unit Overview: Memory, Power, and Control

 

Welcome to a unit where literature meets real life!

In 1984, George Orwell imagined a world where history is erased, truth is manipulated, and personal identity is shaped by those in power. But what if that world isn’t just fiction?

​

In my unit, we’ll explore how memory and control operate, not just in books, but across global cultures and current events. We’ll connect Orwell’s themes to real-world issues like censorship, surveillance, and cultural erasure.

​

What You’ll Do:

  • Read and analyze 1984 with a global lens

  • Investigate how memory and power shape history and identity

  • Create multimedia projects that bring your insights to life

  • Engage in discussions about truth, control, and resistance

 

This is more than a unit—it’s a chance to think critically, question deeply, and grow as a global citizen.
