American citizens often take having access to clean water for granted. However, this is not the case for many immigrant students who have come to the United States. In this curriculum unit, English Language Learners will learn about the water contaminants and the health risks associated with contaminated water worldwide. Also, they will appreciate the drinking water treatment process in the United States.
Moreover, students will learn about lead which can enter tap water through plumbing; specifically lead pipes, faucets, and fixtures. Students will learn strategies to reduce lead exposure in their homes and be empowered to educate and advocate for lead free pipes in their homes as well as in their local cultural communities.
“Clean water and access to food are some of the simplest things that we can take for granted each and every day. In places like Africa, these can be some of the hardest resources to attain if you live in a rural area “(Samuelsson, 2001).
