Discover how English teachers and their students confront the climate crisis using critical inquiry, focusing on justice, and taking action. Working in today’s politically polarized environment, these teachers know first-hand about teaching and learning in communities that support and resist climate education. This much-needed book describes outstanding English instruction that includes creative and analytical writing; critical place-based learning; contemporary "cli-fi"; young adult, Indigenous, and youth-authored literature; Afrofuturism; critical media analysis; digital media production; and many other ways in which students can explore the crisis and have their voices heard and respected. While the focus is on high school and middle school English Language Arts, there are also relevant and inspiring elementary and college examples. This resource provides everything teachers need to help young people understand and address the climate emergency through supportive and empowering transformational learning.
