Quick Ideas for Using our Environmental Action Videos:

• Use the videos as a conversation starter for a class discussion on a topic linked to your study.
• Use the videos with a lesson plan you create where students investigate a specific “green” or environmental protection strategy and report their learning in a video or in-person presentation using ET video clips as part of the presentation.
• Use the videos with journal prompts for students to write about as they respond to/reflect on content included in the video.
• Have students view a video and determine any additional questions they have about the information presented that were not answered in the video. Have them research to see if any local individuals/organizations/companies could answer their questions and contact them for those answers. If local experts are not available, mail their questions to us at info@educate.today and we’ll forward to the expert from the video to see if they can respond.
• Provide the videos for students to view independently to satisfy their own curiosity/interest in the topic highlighted or for their use in an independent project.
• Have students include insights gained through the videos as part of their projects, papers, and presentations on an environment-related subject by:
  • interpreting and/or summarizing what they saw and learned in the video.
  • citing quotations from the expert in the video.
