Resource Overview
This dynamic lesson begins with a “four corners” discussion strategy, where students respond to thought-provoking statements about population growth, resource use, sustainability, and other environmental issues. After taking and defending their initial positions, students choose a related topic to research in-depth: they craft an evidence-based position paper to clearly articulate and support their viewpoint.
Use this video alongside our Take a Stand lesson plan to help students practice ELA skills like oral discussion and evidence-based writing. For more details on this lesson, click the green button below.
