Description
★★★★★Foster a care and concern for our environment, and inspire community awareness. Help students make your school, community, and world a great place to live and work!
Students enjoy working in pairs to analyze two environmental issues, and then come up with possible solutions. This intro activity next has students meet up in groups and share solutions and rate the issue on how concerning they feel it is.
In the following days students will learn more in-depth about the issues, and even have a chance to go back and re-rate how concerning the issue is now that they understand more about it! Very powerful and eye-opening!
