Secondary level social science students analyze current issues and social problems. World hunger is a social problem. War, poverty, and natural disasters all contribute heavily to the world hunger dilemma. The United Nations relief operations are difficult to simulate in classroom settings. I have created a project using Food Force, a simulation of UN food relief, and a discussion forum (blog) to help students learn and reflect about UN efforts in hunger stricken regions of the world. Students learn about the challenges associated with creating and sustaining relief operations by playing Food Force and posting onto a blog through a discussion forum. The project can be utilized within the context of teaching and learning about economics and world hunger.
