Story books can be used to teach many subject areas in an out-of-doors setting. Many books incorporate thinking and inquiry skills used in meaningful contexts and can enrich your lessons. This session utilizes Dr. Seus's, The Lorax, to actively engage learners in the awareness of the necessity to urgently increase education in schools around environmental and climate change. Using this classic literature, presenters will lead the workshop outside using an interactive drama approach to build awareness and empathetic response to environmental matters in our communities and those around the world.
