Welcome to the wiki resource site for the book-in-progress: Teaching Climate Change to Adolescents: Reading, Writing, and Making a Difference, Richard Beach, Jeff Share, and Allen Webb

 

 

The vast majority of scientists agree, climate change is the most significant challenge facing the human race and life on earth. How climate change is understood and how it is addressed in the near future will profoundly impact how the effects of this crisis will unfold. Educators at all levels and in many disciplines need the tools, lessons, and pedagogy to make climate change a central theme (powerful component) of their teaching. Here's Richard Beach's NCTE blog post on the need for ELA teachers to address climate change.

 

The purpose of our book, Teaching Climate Change to Adolescents: Reading, Writing, and Making a Differencecurrently under development, is to provide English language arts (ELA) teachers with pedagogy, frameworks, resources, lessons, and activities for engaging with issues and aspects of climate change through literature, composition, speaking/listening, and media/digital literacy units. 

 

Here's a recording of our session on addressing climate change at the 2015 NCTE Convention in Minneapolis, along with the presenters' slides.

 

We are seeking contributions by teachers describing classroom activities associated with addressing climate change, activities involving responding to literature/nonfiction, drama activities, place-based writing, multimodal productions, critical media analysis, or critical pedagogy/civic engagement activities (see chapters for topics). If you are interested in contributing, please contact Richard Beach at rbeach@umn.edu
