Kicking Off the New Unit - How We Organize Ourselves

The Unfortunate Situation

You have suddenly run out of money.
Since you live in an apartment, you still need to pay rent which is $20 per month or you will be homeless.
To live, you will need to eat. Eating cheaply, one person needs only to spend $2 dollars per day.
Additionally, you have to take care of another sibling.
All you have are the few objects that you have managed to save.
You don’t know how long this situation will last, but you should plan that the situation will not change for 4 months.

How do you plan to use these objects to help you survive?
Plan it out. Use an illustration to make your plans visual.

5DC Students present their work with KIVA

Entirely written, revised and produced by students of 5DC is a short skit about KIVA. Students studied marketplaces in their previous unit of inquiry which led them to create their own mini-businesses. After costs were returned, over $600 in profit was collected.

The money raised during the market day was placed into our KIVA account. Students then selected small businesses across the world to fund.

Great work 5DC!!
