Abstract	Over one billion of the world's people are chronically hungry. For them, life is a hunger cycle characterized by vulnerability to disease, stunted physical and mental development, reduced energy and motivation, and low work productivity. This curriculum guide is designed to channel student awareness and concern into effective action. The definitions, dimensions, geography, and roots of hunger are explored through activities. The dimension of hunger is illustrated through visualization of the concept of one billion. The experience of hunger is dramatized through the poems, "The Arithmetic of Poverty" and "God to a Hungry Child." Students are introduced to the concept of "North and South" in relation to developed and developing nations. A handout depicting the hunger cycle is used to discuss the roots of hunger. The lesson concludes with actions that have been taken to end hunger and actions that students could take. Suggested student activities include joining community groups focusing on ending hunger; finding out about a food shelf or soup kitchen in the community; investigating hunger and poverty in the community; holding debates; organizing food drives; and arranging assemblies. A list of additional resources is included. (SM)
