Hard global problems tempt people to jump straight to a fix. Today the class takes one challenge apart under four headings first, so any solution named later has to connect to a cause that is actually on the page. You will agree one challenge together. Later work comes back to it as the challenge we chose.

Agree one global challenge for the whole class from these four options:

1. Clean water access
2. Ocean plastic
3. People displaced by conflict
4. Sudden food-price rises

Listen once to the short fact card for the challenge we chose. That card is the shared starting evidence for every group.

Open the interactive activity. Working in twos or threes, choose a scribe and a checker. Fill all four regions for the challenge we chose, using the fact card and your own knowledge. Keep impact about specific people: who, roughly where, and what changes in their day. A solution only counts if it links to a cause already in your causes corner.

When your group is ready, swap with another group. Read their board. Send back one challenge on any solution that does not connect to a cause they named, and one note if their impact drifted into everyone instead of real people.

First, take one minute in your pair or three to re-read your own board against these prompts. Then a few voices share with the class.

Which solution got challenged on the swap, and what cause was missing?

Did your impact corner stay about real people, or drift into everyone?

Why is it worth keeping consequences and impact as two different corners?

You can analyse one global challenge under causes, consequences, impact on people's lives and possible solutions, and keep those headings doing different jobs. The class has agreed the challenge we chose. Next you will weigh what you yourselves could actually do about it.
