"I had a vision of what I needed, and this was a perfect fit! I loved that I could manipulate and add, but didn't spend all the time putting everything together. The sources were great, and the brainstorm ideas were loved by the students. Perfection."

Description

This Google resource will help guide student research on a social or environmental justice issue of their choosing. Students will need to conduct their own research for this project. There is no information on these slides about social and environmental justice issues. There are links to websites where students can conduct their research. Please look through the preview for a detailed description of what this product includes. Students will complete their work entirely on the Google Slides provided.

These slides are completely editable. Please adapt this resource to the needs of your class.

Updated version: this resource now includes a rubric and sample student answers on each slide to help guide your students.

Here are some prompts included to help guide student research:

  • Who is affected? Which groups of people are affected by your chosen social/environmental issue?
  • How are these groups of people affected? How are their daily lives impacted by the social/environmental issue you chose?
  • Where in Canada does this social/environmental issue exist? (Can be edited to include your country)
  • Create a list of Canadian organizations that support your social/environmental justice issue. Briefly describe what each of these organizations do to support the issue. (Can be edited to include your country)
  • Which level of government is responsible for your social/environmental justice issue? What is the government doing to help your social/environmental justice issue?
  • What is your goal? What do you hope to achieve by teaching others about your social/environmental justice issue?

On slide 5 (student slide 3) you will notice that it prompts students to answer a question about an interview with a family member. To begin this project, I have students interview a family member(s) and ask them which social/environmental justice issues are important to them and why. If you do not want your students to interview family members please just delete that slide. 

On slides 11 & 12 (student slides 8 & 9) are links your students may find helpful when researching information about their project. Please be sure to review these websites prior to allowing your students to use them. 

Slides 15 & 16 (student slides 12 & 13) make reference to Canada. Please edit this based on where you live.

Slide 24 (student slide 21) gives students different ideas on how they may choose to present their final product. Please adjust according to your class. 

Slide 25 (student slide 22) has a rubric. Again, please feel free to edit this slide depending on how you are accessing your students.

This is one of my favorite TPT purchases. It also inspired me to create something similar for other research projects to get and keep students on task. My students even complimented this as an effective teaching tool and asked me to do more of this in class. Thank you!!

I really like how detailed this project is. I love the addition of the links for the students. The combination of social justice and or environmental concerns, plus the Canadian connection, is perfect! Thank you so much!
