Week 6: Friday's Current Events Topic: Global Goals & Systems in Crisis

Friday's Current Events on Global Issues: 
September 25 marks the day of the announcement of UN's New Global Goals for Sustainable Development. Today the world leaders are announcing the new 17 goals!
Today, you will read more about these global goals and what the UN and many leaders, individual people and organizations around the world are hoping everyone will get involved with.

Today we'll start with Flocabulary's The Week in Rap...and then a couple of videos on the new global goals:

Today's TASK: 

1. Read an article about the new global goals. Identify which "system" is in crisis (a system not working) Hint: it may help to search on the Current Events & Global Issues page of this website
2. Post a message on the Current Events & Global Issues page blog for one of the new 17 global goals. Give a link to the article you found related to that goal and describe what is wrong (what system is in crisis, where, and what YOU think should be done to try to fix the system). Feel free to post a question as well.
