Classroom Implementation:

Use this video alongside discussions about climate change to address students' big feelings and channel them into action.

Options for Action:

Students reflect on the solutions they already practice and choose one new action to implement in their daily lives.
As a class, choose one solution to implement for the rest of the year (e.g., wasting less materials when doing art projects).

Interdisciplinary Connections:

Social-Emotional Learning:
- Discuss climate emotions with students and use the shake-out method as a movement tool to relieve frustration.
- Emphasize that solutions are everywhere and empower students to see themselves as an important part of those solutions.

Literacy Connections:

Use rhyming in the video to practice key words and strengthen students' understanding ("we're on a mission to stop emissions!").
Note that "energy" is spelled wrong in the video.
