2. Introduction Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] You, the next generation, will be tasked with the challenge of making a new future for your planet. Because of the new ways in which humans interact with their environments our planet has begun to change in many ways. Thanks to the increased ease with which resources can be extracted from and shipped around the earth humans may now be consuming more than the earth can support. Consequently entire ecosystems are changing, species are disappearing, and weather patterns are changing. Since the Industrial Revolution a lot has changed in the world; the way we make our money, the way we get our food, the way food is grown, the distance it travels from the field to our plates, and the way most of us travel to and fro. Along with all of this have come a number of unanticipated changes. Fortunately, thanks to new technologies there are ways of being as productive without being as destructive. A new attitude of environmental stewardship is replacing older understandings of the environment. Page 2 Page 2

11. Introduction (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is based on geographical content standards but obviously overlaps with several disciplines, ie economics and history. It was designed for an Educational Technology class at CSU and is a fledgling attempt at this sort of lesson. The purpose is to challenge students to engage a topic that is entirely relevant, a little sensitive, and often glossed over. Fortunately it does overlap with several disciplines and allows students to see the interconnectedness of seemingly unrelated issues. I wanted to offer students an opportunity to learn about something relevant and learn how to apply it their learning practically. Hopefully I have achieved that goal and made it interesting.

12. Learners (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is intended for 10/11 th grade students of geography or economics and requires little prior knowledge before starting. Guidance on the use of PowerPoint might be necessary for some students. With a teacher in the classroom to answer any questions the lesson should be pretty self driven.

18. Teacher Script (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page As stated before this should be a self driven lesson. The only role for the teacher is to help clarify concepts and offer guidance on production of final presentation. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

19. Conclusion (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson will be valuable to students in helping them understand how humans inadvertently and intentionally interact with their environments and how those interactions affect their environments and ecosystems. In addition students should begin to see the interconnectedness of all aspects of social studies and economics. The beauty of this lesson is its practical application. By making it a project with a final tangible product students can enjoy the labor of taking abstract concepts, internalizing then comparing them and turning them into meaningful information. As students become experts in their areas, they will begin to form opinions on certain issues, once they take a stance on that issue they may have to learn the value of compromise. This is the value of a collaborative or group effort. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
