This cross-curricular social studies unit aims to inspire responsible citizenship in promoting environmental sustainability. By integrating the social studies inquiry process with the language, visual arts, science, and mathematics curriculum, students can develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence in taking responsible action and participating in environmentally sustainable practices within their school community and beyond. This unit consists of eleven engaging lessons organized into two sections - awareness and action. The purpose of the first six lessons is to have students reflect on their perspective of and relationship to the environment. The awareness section also focuses on building a collective awareness of the principles of environmental sustainability. The remaining five lessons are structured to mobilize students to take action on an environmental issue of interest that was explored at the beginning of the unit (see Unit Overview Chart).
