Excited by the student projects!

Angela Lee

Hi folks,

I was excited about the outcome of the Climate Project Extension that I did this year with my AP World classes.  The last class just finished their presentations, and I wanted to share some of them.  I found that the students were enthusiastic and engaged - it was a great way to end the year!

Climate Guidelines for School Districts - at the end of the Home page is a link to most of the other projects prepared by students.

 I'm already collaborating with the faculty advisor for the Students for Environmental Action at my school, and the teacher for the Environmental Science class. Especially for those who have done this before, I would love to hear feedback about what next steps could be.

Thanks,

Angela

  •  ,  ,  , and  ,

    I have loved reading each of your posts! Thanks for sharing student work, Angela. Truly inspirational.

    Have any/all of you had a chance to look at the new Climate Project?

    I've used the Climate Extension project each year since it came out. I dabbled with the new curriculum this year, but I didn't have it early enough before the end of the school year to do it any justice. From what I understand, the other Climate Projects are going away and this new curriculum will take its place. It is all-inclusive, so people will have the opportunity to use as much or as little of it according to the time frame in which you will work. 

    I need to be able to use it within a short time frame, but my challenge will be to use the whole framework, not just a piece of the curriculum. I'm going to follow each of you, if I'm not doing so already. That way we can keep track of each other's new developments as we share them.

     As the new course is written, I will not have enough time to use the complete curriculum.  I might have more time than I did this year, but I really like what we did this year!  The students are taught about climate change in Unit 9 of the AP world curriculum as well as their grade 10 Chemistry class.  They are well schooled on the cause and outcomes so I focused on one week of Unit 3: Adaption and Innovation.  It resonated will with them, so I will definitely repeat next year.
