A Billion Hungry People

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students discover the inequality of food distribution.  In the hunger instructional activity, students discuss how some places and people do not get the food they need to survive. Students role play distributing pretend meals to people (of unequal groups) then discuss the outcomes and their thoughts.
