Today you will begin working on a US CITY COLLABORATIVE GOOGLE MAP PROJECT. This project will allow each one of you to research an assigned city, review the UN Global Sustainable Goals (UNGSG), and find out about how people, organizations, and groups are banding together to help everyone reach these goals throughout the United States of America. Please follow the directions below to identify the city you have been assigned, creatve a Google Document that outlines how each of the UNGSG's are being worked on in that city, and where people can find out more information about these issues. You will SHARE the active link for your document so it can be added to an interactive Google Map. To complete the project, you must write a 2-3 paragraph essay on specific things you learned, and how you feel about our progress toward these goals.
Step 1: Read the description of the UN Global Sustainable Goals Below:
The SDGs, also known as Global Goals, build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and aim to go further to end all forms of poverty. The new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and addresses a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.
Step 2: Create a Google Document to start outlining each goal for the city you have been assigned:

On 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development — adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit — officially came into force. Over the next fifteen years, with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind.
The SDGs, also known as Global Goals, build on the success of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and aim to go further to end all forms of poverty. The new Goals are unique in that they call for action by all countries, poor, rich and middle-income to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and addresses a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection.While the SDGs are not legally binding, governments are expected to take ownership and establish national frameworks for the achievement of the 17 Goals. Countries have the primary responsibility for follow-up and review of the progress made in implementing the Goals, which will require quality, accessible and timely data collection. Regional follow-up and review will be based on national-level analyses and contribute to follow-up and review at the global level.

Step 3. Make An Entry On Your Google Document (See Example) For Each Goal
Step 4: Research an Example of a person, group, or organization working on each goal in the city you were assigned. Make sure to include all information required for each entry.
Step 5. Complete your research, and make sure you have included all information for each goal on your document.
Step 6. Add a 2-3 paragraph explanation of "What You Learned" at the bottom of your document. Make sure to add your favorite, or most interesting goal and what you found!
Step 7: Include a City WEB Map using DRAW.IO on your document (See Details Below)
Step 8: SHARE the active link to your document with Mr. S (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit.
Good Luck!

City Web Map DRAW.IO Requirements: You will create a web for a city in the United States. You will be responsible for creating an identical web to the one described. Please include the following data:
City Facts: Year Founded, Longitude, Latitude, Population, Area, Time Zone, and Mayor's Name.
Extension Blocks: Major industries, professional sports teams, colleges, historical places, museums, and weather information. Weather can be annual precipitation and average temperatures.
You can use all of my formatting, or create your own diagrams. You must include the same headings and topics. You must also use different colors for each section. You must also include a box at the bottom of the page with a list of all the resources you used to find your information. This is not an official bibliography, but it must be accurate when checked by me.
When you have completed your Google Document, you must SHARE it with Mr. Scribner (hscribner@ccs.us) for credit. You must also go to the padlet listed below, use the appropriate password, and create a posting for your project for everyone to review. Make sure you include a picture of the skyline of your assigned city (you should be able to find it on Google Images).
You will have the rest of this week to finish this project. I will use the link you provide to create a Google Map of all of the cities for people to find. We will also be submitting this project as a resource to the United Nations Global Sustainable Goals education website. Thank you for helping us be a small part of this important mission!
