Download NowResource Overview
This is a Spanish/English lesson packet for 6th – 12th grade teachers. It is designed to cover themes of sustainability and global citizenship through hands-on, memorable classroom activities. The interdisciplinary nature of these topics makes the lessons appropriate for use in any of the core subject areas (science, social studies, math, and language arts).
The 8 lessons are divided among three units that, when completed in sequence, will give students a thorough understanding of basic demographics and the environmental and social issues facing our growing population. The units or individual lesson plans can also be used separately to complement classroom instruction throughout the school year. All are adaptable for middle or high school classrooms.
