For SDG1 (no poverty) sheet, our favourite pedagogical twist is:
Constructivism: Knowing___want to know___what I have learnt exercise_ what I still want to learn.
Ask students to identify what they know already about the SDG 1 and what they want to know. Ask these first 2 questions in the beginning in order to have an overview of students’ prior knowledge and make the lesson more personalized to the specific group of students.
At the end of the lesson/ lesson cycle ask them to identify what they have learnt and what they still want to learn about this topic. In particular, this last question addresses all the possible doubts and/or further interest of the students about the topic.
If you have another pedagogical twist in mind, feel free to apply or check the pedagogical twist list.

Dollar street helps with visualizing the difference between facilities and sources within families worldwide based on income. By moving the house icons on the bar and stretching the gap, students can “visit” families and learn about their homes in terms of tools, food, etc. It is a very interesting and visual way to learn.
