Directions: You’ve studied, read, and watched various texts that examine the causes and effects of world hunger, while placing yourself in the shoes of someone who is hungry. Now, it’s your turn to propose a solution to the issue of world hunger, incorporating the essential question we’ve been exploring: “How does world hunger affect us?”

For this project, you will create a proposal on how you suppose we go about fixing, or improving, this major global issue.

The following prompts are options you may choose from. You are also free to come up with your own prompt that must be approved by me.


 * 1) Write a research or persuasive essay where you propose a political, social, or humanitarian solution for world hunger. (4-5 pages in length)
 * 2) In a video format (any form of recording) offer a representation of hunger that you think is most accurate and one that would motivate people to donate their time or money to help the cause. The video should be 5 minutes in length.
 * 3) Write an Op. Ed. column on your blog criticizing previous solutions to world hunger and pose your own. (2,000-2,500 words)
 * 4) In a 10 minute presentation explain how three charities work (ex. Save the Children, Invisible Children, Oxfam), what they provide, how they are evaluated by third parties and which one you think is most effective.
