Differentiation & Implementation
After viewing the presentation, students can select a green job they would like to learn more about. They can then research this job and create a presentation or piece of writing to report what they have learned.
Alternatively, teachers can put together an imaginary future class reunion, where students, acting as themselves in the future, explain how their job has helped solve the climate crisis.
To make community connections, teachers can invite members of the community who hold green jobs to talk about their experiences with students.
Students can practice narrative writing by imagining a future green job they think will exist and writing about a person in that job.
Students can brainstorm other jobs and ways to make them into green jobs.
