Understanding The Main Organs That Make Up The United Nations

Learn about the organizations within the United Nations by taking a closer look at the charter!

This is the second part of a mini-unit to introduce the United Nations. It can be used as a social studies lesson or in conjunction with a Model United Nations club or elective. I am a Huge proponent of an inquiry based approach, and in this mini-unit students are motivated to find the information.
