Do Now Question: As students enter the room, have the following question displayed (either on the board or with the slide-deck bellow):
"What are the biggest problems faced by people around the world today?"
Discussion: Students may need some extra encouragement to think from the perspective of others and to see the bigger picture.
Have students work in groups to identify the biggest problems. They can either discuss their ideas or write them down, but they should be ready to share with the group.
Tips: They might consider issues in their communities. Don't stop them, it's a good place to start. You could ask them to think as if they are their country’s leader: "think as if you were the president".
Sharing: Ask each group to share their ideas. Write them on the board if possible.

Ask: On slide 7, ask the students to think what will they do. What are the goals they care about?
- Invite students to identify the goal they feel most strongly about.
- Brainstorm with students the different actions they could make to realize their chosen goal.
- Ask students to cut out their paper chain.
- On the back of the chain, students write their aim for their chosen goal. (e.g.: My aim for Goal 14 is to refuse to drink with a plastic straw.)
- Stick all the chains together to create a whole class or school Global Goals paper chain.
- You can share your stories and photos with the WorldsLesson team! (Twitter: @TheWorldsLesson, Facebook: The World’s Largest Lesson, Instagram: @TheWorldsLesson) and mention @SalesforceOrg!
Note: Once made each paper chain is 10cm long – 17 paper chains will make 1.7m of chain.

Showcase: You can put the classroom chain as a decoration to remind the students what they've chosen.
Ask them to think about some other way they can help achieve those goals after they leave the classroom, when they go home, when they play with their friends.
