1. Watch BBC with parent and record 2 news stories.2. Go to the cyberschoolbus web site.
3.. Click on Millennium Development Goals of the UN (grey box). Study and review the 8 goals-see if you can memorize for the next meeting.
4. I would like a flashcard with a symbol for each goal on one side, and the goal on the other (8 cards in all). Divide up this work between the two of you. You can draw them or print an image. Please make them look good. :)
5. Read this article about Guatemalan coffee cooperatives: http://www.equalexchange.coop/profile-of-manos-campesinas-in-guatemala
6. Look up the words: cooperative, middlemen and small scale if you don't understand them.
7. Be prepared to talk briefly about this idea:
Why is it better to form a cooperative instead of staying a individual farmer? Take notes so you can share ideas with the group.
** Willow and Remi: please finish up Lower El presentation and bring your poster to the next meeting.
