Global TeachNet has produced another lesson plan to accompany the latest edition of WorldView magazine (Spring 2002, Vol. 15 No. 2). Written by Dr. Angene Wilson, the lesson is entitled: "Living in Brazil, Fiji, Libya and South Africa at the Beginning of the Twenty-First Century." After reading this WorldView article students will be able to describe the lives of individuals in four different countries. This lesson could be inserted into a world geography or world history course as an introduction to how people live in other countries today.  The lesson can be found on the Global TeachNet website at: http://www.rpcv.org/pages/sitepage.cfm?id=559.
