This document describes Take 2, a program that provides educational video footage and curriculum materials to teach students global citizenship skills. Students in grades 4-12 create documentaries and PSAs using National Geographic quality footage from various countries on topics like global warming and the water cycle. They learn critical thinking, collaboration, and media literacy. Students then present their films publicly to practice leadership and increase public understanding of global issues.
