Help your middle schoolers dive deep into the complexities of climate change with this engaging and thought-provoking resource!

"Climate Change: Five Perspectives" goes beyond basic facts, encouraging students to analyze diverse viewpoints and develop their critical thinking skills.

This comprehensive resource includes:

• Five compelling letters, each written to the United: Each letter presents a unique perspective on climate change, written from the point of view of:

  • The Urgent Activist
  • The Cautious Skeptic
  • The Technological Optimist
  • The Economic Pragmatist
  • The Frontline Youth (a student living in Kiribati)
