Global Book Bags are learning resources for students to

take home to develop global competencies, practice

literacy skills, and engage parents/guardians in learning

activities. Each Global Book Bag consists of an ageappropriate

book, a set of instructions, and any

materials necessary to complete the learning activities

described in the instructions. These book bags were

designed for elementary grade students to take home for

4-5 days and share with an older family member but can

be adapted for instructional activities in the classroom.
