Unit+5

The Good News: things every one of us can do to actually make a real difference //There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth. We are all crew (Marshall McLuhan) // This unit is primarily student led, and it needs to be because its primary focus is to empower the students. Too often, Environmentalists focus on the 'Doom and Gloom' of Earth's precarious situation; this unit challenges the teacher to give the students hope. The objective of this unit is simple: each learner will become familiar with at least one attitudinal/behavioral change that they can make in order to make a difference. The success of this, final unit, is measured by the degree to which the students are well equipped to make a difference, and their confidence in their ability to do so.

This objective will be met, along with all ministry prescribed learning outcomes, in the lessons divided between the following subject-categories:
