How Green is Your Class?: Over 50 Ways your Students Can Make a Difference

Autor Kate Brown
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iul 2008
Young people, like adults, are faced daily with small and huge injustices. Their capacity for outrage and their heightened sense of social justice mean they can be quick to identify the need for change. How often do you hear students say 'Miss, that's not fair', or 'Miss, how can I make a difference'?

How Green is Your Class? is a guide for teachers on how to support students who want to make a difference. Over fifty actions are outlined, all with the potential to bring about change: at home, school, locally, nationally and internationally, on any issue young people choose. These 'change actions', can be used flexibly by teachers: with classes or smaller groups; in school time or for homework; as one-off practical activities or term-long campaigning projects; to stretch able and focused students and to motivate disengaged young people. Above all, they are intended to be used to inspire and equip young people to make a difference now and in the future.
