Students make connections to these concepts in the classroom and on the land. Whether they are exploring the impact of fires and controlled burns on the ecosystem or considering ways to regenerate and heal from trauma, students will have the opportunity to consider the many ways that people and the environment can rejuvenate in the wake of real or perceived destruction.In this folder, you will find:1.

Students will research the laws around tobacco of another part of the world and write a brief narrative from the perspective living in the environment created by those regulations.

The goal of this activity is for students to learn how to tell a story in order to make a complex topic (such as global warming or ozone holes) easier for a reader to grasp. Students realize that the narrative impulse underlies even scientific and technical writing and gain a better understanding of the role of myth as a "science" of imagination that helps us to gain insight into human motivation.

This resource provides a mini lesson on writing personal narratives, a requirement sheet for the assignment, a student checklist, a planning sheet for writing, and a rubric to assess the essay.

"The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.

Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials."
