Teens Around The World

I recently looked back at one of my old posts when I said I would tell you about a class I take called Teens Around The World, and realized I never did, so I am writing about it now. Teens Around The World is one of my electives at school. It is not only the most fun period of the day, but also where I get a lot of my information for Peace Over Poverty. It is taught by my teacher, Julie Krug. In Teens Around The World (or TAW for short) we talk about many things stretching from child labor to flip flops (we watched a video recently about how flip flops are being lost into the ocean and usually wash up on the shores of an African island and are being remade into art to be sold at the market). In TAW we watch videos about children our age in other countries, eat food from other countries, and really learn the truth about what is happening in the real world. We also have a library of books about the world, many of which I have read. I learn more in TAW then I do in all my other classes combined.
