Land Love

how can we generate interest in earth science through storytelling?

Have you wondered how the land beneath your feet came to be?

In this project, you will investigate Earth Science and use your creativity to get others interested through writing and performing an engaging story.

First, you’ll learn about storytelling, including the parts of a narrative. You will read and examine Pourquoi Tales, which tell a fictional story about how something in nature came to be.

Next, you’ll learn about key Earth Science topics, including rocks, minerals, soils, weathering and erosion.

Then, you’ll meet and hear stories told from seasoned storytellers who are elders in their communities.

Finally, you’ll publish your own Pourquoi tale about an Earth Science topic. You will work collaboratively to perform one of these stories for a live audience at our virtual Land Love showcase event.
