This integrated social studies and ELA project invites students to investigate environmental stewardship and sustainability through guided inquiry around the question: How can our words and actions right the wrongs of the past? They use a variety of texts to explore these ideas and deepen their understanding of multiple perspectives and opinions. Students are challenged to create free verse poetry to share their thoughts, feelings, and opinions as they consider solutions and actions that they and others can take to be good stewards of their environment.
