Global Village Quiz Worksheet

Explore how people, places and choices connect around the world. Read the short case study, then answer each question. For written answers, use evidence from the case study or your own examples.

Case Study: A Connected Lunch

A school group in Halifax is planning a low-waste lunch. Some apples come from nearby Nova Scotia farms, while bananas travel by ship from Central America. A reusable water bottle may be made from materials sourced in several countries and assembled elsewhere. Students compare where items come from and how they are transported. They decide to choose seasonal local produce when practical, avoid unnecessary packaging, and sort waste correctly. They also learn that ocean currents and air pollution can cross national borders, so environmental choices and solutions often involve many communities. The group shares its ideas in a video call with students in another country.

Part A: Understand the Connections

Choose or write the best answer for each question.

1.In this case study, what does “global village” mean?
  • A small settlement that welcomes visitors
  • A world where people and places are connected through communication, trade and shared issues
  • A village that has many shops
  • A place that exists only online
2.Which lunch item is described as travelling by ship from Central America?
3.Name two ways the students plan to reduce the lunch’s environmental impact.
4.True or false: An everyday product can connect people in several countries through its materials, manufacturing and transport.
TrueFalse
5.Which is the clearest example of technology helping create a global connection in the case study?
  • Growing apples on a nearby farm
  • Sorting waste into the correct bins
  • Sharing ideas through a video call with students in another country
  • Using a reusable water bottle
6.Explain why ocean currents or air pollution show that environmental issues can be global. Give one reason.

Part B: Think Globally, Act Locally

Use the case study and your own reasoning to respond.

7.A student says, “One person’s choices cannot matter.” Give one example from the lunch plan that challenges this claim, and explain how it could help.
8.The group wants to share its plan with the wider community. Suggest one useful way to communicate it and explain why that method fits.
9.Imagine you are choosing a snack in Canada. Describe one question you could ask about its global connections and one responsible choice you might make. Explain your thinking.
10.Make a two-part action plan: write one action you could take in your community and one way you could learn from or cooperate with people in another country on the same issue.
