Millennium Development Goals

Last month some y11 and y12 students were chosen to be the “leaders” responsible to transmit to the younger students of Secondary Y7, Y8, Y9 and Y10, what are the aims and what are the Millennium development goals. The “leaders” were divided into partners, and each pair was responsible for one class. Also the Millennium goals were divided in the year groups, so each year will have a deeper knowledge about two of the goals, of the eight from the Millennium Goals.

Each month the leaders, will be going to the class tutorial and will be teaching them what are the Millennium Goals, why they were created and which one they will be learning in deeper context. Since I am one of the leaders, last month it was my pairs first meeting with the Y7 students that we are responsible to teach. In this meeting we taught them what were the Millennium goals and why were they created, and we also made the students start thinking what could be solutions for the problems in the world and why did they think those eight specific goals were created. During this class, the students were very obedient and they were very participative which made the class more enjoyable and easier to get through. The students seemed very interested, and in the end of the class they had to write a reflection and a drawing about what they learned, it was very interesting with which drawings they came and their reflections, it showed they were really into the topic. I have really liked the experience of teaching a younger grade so far and I am looking forward to the next meeting.
