In our 6th grade reading and writing class, we will be discussing Earth Day using articles and the movie, The Lorax.
While watching the movie, students will fill in the graphic organizer to help them understand the causes and effects of the events in the movie.
Students will write reflectively about how the events of the movie made them feel and why protecting the Earth is important to them.
After watching the movie, students will write reflectively and argumentatively about the importance of recycling and protecting our Earth.
Students will read the below articles and use the information to help write a letter to Mother Earth and to help them write an argumentative essay in the form of a letter to a parent or neighbor that explains the importance of recycling.
While reading, students will complete visual note-taking.
