which why instructional materials must include certain activities that will capture their interest and allows them to
communicate to enhance their knowledge. For example, we know that students enjoy completing exciting and
challenging tasks, such as laboratory activities, and that is the way they can demonstrate their eagerness for this type of
learning by doing so. And in Global Literacy, we know that this literacy addresses the issue of globalization, racism,
diversity and social justice especially on diverse students. We can offer them an activity like internet surfing and
searching for things that are relevant to what is going on in the world right now, so they can form a synthesis of what
they read online. We can attain the objective of providing children with information about what is going on in the world
by participating in this activity. This is the consequence of every teacher's direct practical application of their lessons,
teaching tactics, and instructional materials, which leads to the development of theories of knowledge that incorporate
the students' learnings in order to produce meaningful results.
