Guiding Questions: Why study our place? What are environmental ethics? How are we connected to our environment?
LT: I can educate others about my place/environment research topic by creating a visually appealing and informative infographic.
For one of our big projects, we created an infographic based on our place -- Idaho. we created our own questions, set out to answer them, and then put the information in our infographic.
What responsibility do we, as humans, have to the Earth (the animals, the plants, the water, soil and air)?
I think that we have to take care of our ecosystem, because everybody is contributing to the problem, whether we are aware of it or not.
What does it mean to you to act ethically, when it comes to the environment?
Use as many recyclable and reusable materials as possible, try not to leave trash lying around, etc, etc.

L.T:
I can define inequality, equality, equity and justice in my own words.
I can identify and reflect on human rights - in Idaho and in the world.
Can you explain inequality, equality, equity and justice in your words?
Inequality is when people get unequal resources, opportunities, etc. etc.
What have you learned about human rights? Why do some people have more rights than others? If you went to the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial, what was most impactful to you?
When I visited the Anne Frank memorial, so many things moved me. But the thing that was most impactful to me was the poem "First They Came for the Jews." It reminded me to always stand up for people.
We had to create a project that impacted the world in some way. Bo and I worked together and decided to address the problem of trash.
Guiding Questions:

Why do we need solutionaries and solutionary thinking?
