Week 1- Minute to Win it!


In week 1 all of the classes competed in an event called "GLPS has got Talent!".  For the event each class came on stage to pitch their ideas for a campaign about 3 topics they chose.  Classes had a minute to win it, only 1 minute to present their ideas and win over the judges.  

Class 23 presented their pitches for the topics: 

1. Love who you are, accept yourself!
2. Connected but alone: Social Media Dependency
3. Sleep Deprivation

Each group did a great job and Class 23 won the topic: Love who you are, accept yourself!  Class 23 will create a campaign to raise awareness about this topic and be posting their progress on the blog.  

Stay tuned!

Welcome to Global Awareness

Are you ready to have fun and start sharing with the world a topic you think needs attention? Here is your chance to make a difference and create a Global Awareness Campaign to share what you think is important in the world today.

Stop Global Warming!No pollution is the solution!  Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Watch your waste!Stop smoking.Don’t Drink and Drive, Arrive Alive.Just say NO to Bullying. 



The above of some examples of possible Global Awareness Campaign topics.  With your class, you will choose from a list of topics your teacher presents to you. After you have 3 possible topics you will break into 3 groups to make a "pitch" for that topic.  Tell us why your class should have a chance to create a campaign to raise awareness about the topic.  Why is the topic important to you and how will you raise awareness about it?

On Thursday evening, all classes in Global Awareness will attend an event called "GLPS has got talent!" where your class will pitch your 3 topics to a group of judges.  The class that does the best job convincing the judges that they are the best class to raise awareness for their topic will win the topic and get to do it for their Global Awareness Campaign.

Remember, you only have "one minute to win it" so work on creating a pitch that is persuasive and convincing in only 1 minute. 

Ready, set, go!

Remember to work as a TEAM and create a pitch for your topics.
