All We Can Save Circles

Positives

• This resource will create a safe space for caring and ready-for-action learners to connect with each other. 
• Each session is laid out in the same format and includes a wealth of interesting and thought-provoking topics and resources to discuss and learn from. 

Additional Prerequisites

• A circle would best be formed from students who have learned about the climate crisis and are open to discussing their feelings about it. 
• Before each session, go through and choose a few of the supplemental materials to focus on, as the entire list may be too much to accomplish or discuss in one sitting. 

Differentiation

• This resource would work well in science and language arts classes, as the work is so intertwined between the subjects. 
• A circle could be formed from an entire small class or a larger class could be broken into groups.
• Consider grouping students based on how open they are to having honest and meaningful dialogues, as this is a major component of the project. 
• As an extension, suggest that interested students lead their own circles outside of the classroom in their community. 
• Other related resources include this lesson about having climate change conversations, this video about the push to create doubt about climate change, and this activity about young people taking climate action.
