| Looking for a way to create a unit on the environment that also teaches critical thinking, economics and more?
- Lesson titles include The Jabawa Trees of Island Breeze, Eggs-ternal Costs, and The Lorax and What the Lore Lacks
- Lessons are fun and interesting, and the content brings about discussion and a better understanding of resource use
- Students learn valuable lessons through experiential learning. In the first lesson, for instance, each student draws a tree that provides wood, or fruit, or shade, or a windbreak. However, when it is time to "plant" the trees in a grove, they find that all of the trees won't fit in the available land, and some amount of wood, fruit, shade, or windbreak will have to be forsaken.
- This curriculum helps students recognize that the balance we seek presents many difficult problems that demand well thought-out solutions.
Workshop and all materials are free.
