Parent Guide > These teens have some ideas for stopping climate change
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "These teens have some ideas for stopping climate change" by Bethany Brookshire.
Even though the topic of climate change can be overwhelming, teens in this text explain what they would do if they had the power to stop climate change.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge, Human vs. Nature, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is the goal of education?", "Who's in control: humanity or nature?", and "How do people create change?"
