Abstract:
This article documents a student-designed and implemented class project, where students delivered an educational program on the causes and consequences of international trade and globalization to two audiences of 4-H members and their parents. The rewards and frustrations of the class project are documented and assessments of the project by the students and the teacher are included. When a group of mature, motivated students is given a meaningful assignment, an enormous amount of learning can take place, with large gains in knowledge of the course material, interpersonal skills, teamwork, career goals, and employment preferences.
