Teaching about the impacts of climate change, I've noticed an increase in anxiety among many students regarding the future. In my CWP class one of the talking points is climate change. Of course it's a lot of negative news when I ask kids to bring issues to talk about. Looking at climate change world wide brings us right back to the question, "Are we going to be affected?" We are being affected in Central Washington State, but not even close to as bad as other places. Just the massive storms in the midwest and south this week is scary enough. We're seeing some massive changes in climate hurting places like California, the northeast, Floria, and others. How do you address these fears in your classroom? Are there any particular discussions or activities you've found effective in providing some hope to students?
