Teaching about Climate Change in the ELA Classroom:
By Mike Fisher, Orleans-Niagara BOCES
Climate Inquiry and Writing in the ELA Classroom:
Our students are tasked with writing arguments focused on discipline-specific content. To do that well, we need to teach them how to develop and answer questions worth exploring that lead them to research topics around climate change that they helped design. This session will help provide these strategies and starting points for the ELA educator.
