A wonderful resource on teaching published in 2006 about the UN is available for purchase at:
http://catalog.socialstudies.com/c/product.html?record@TF39783+s@4FZRUzkJdLGZI
This was prepared by Jenna Arnold of the UN Works Unit of the Department of Public Information. It includes a teacher's guide, student handouts and a PowerPoint presentation with extensive slides about the UN, historical through 2006.
Teachers may incorporate slides into other presentations and use this in a very flexible way. Great too for Model UN preparation!  |
