Environmental and Social Changes by Planting Seeds
by Manal Kareem
In this five days lesson plan or a class project, I used a picture book, "Seeds of Change: Exploring Wangari Maathai's Tree-Planting Efforts". This lesson plan is great for 6th -8th-grade students. In this lesson, you will introduce students to the life and work of Wangari Maathai, focusing on her tree-planting initiatives and their significance. Also, explore the environmental and social impact of Wangari Maathai's efforts and inspire students to take action for positive change in their communities.
