Environmentally sustainable activities.

 

 

Design environmentally sustainable activities. The candidates will design a Jump start kit that includes a set of at least 10 developmentally appropriate children’s books that address local, global, international, and intercultural problems. Students should develop activities or book extensions towards finding solutions to global, international and intercultural problems.

1.   Provide a rationale for the selected topic in connection with current local and/or global issues.

2.   Select 10-15 children’s books around any attractive global learning topic for young children that will allow them to understand local and/or global problem (pollution, global warming, conflict resolution, poverty, technology and so forth). Bring them for your presentation.

3.   Include books with different genre and multicultural and international literature

4.   Take a close look at the developmental milestones of children from birth to grade 3 and explain why each of the books that you selected is age appropriate. Justify how your book selection supports children’s language, intellectual, personality, social-moral, aesthetic and creative development. Use course readings to sustain your claim for each book. Some help in judging books can be found in reviews of new books that appear in journals such as The Horn Book, The Journal of Children’s Literature, The Reading Teacher or in any of the websites listed in this document.

5.   Book extensions (from one or different books, not from every book)

Select a book to design an activity that addresses an international, global, or intercultural issue and its solution
Design a felt board story for one of the books in your collection.
Design puppets for a story.
Choose a story and audiotape a story with music and sound effects.
Design a book extension that helps children identify Plot and sequence of events

For the presentation bring all book extensions equipment and have your powerpoint ready.

Book description for each book describing how it promotes language, cognitive, personality, social-moral, aesthetic and creative development in young children (what applies).
Include a picture of the book cover and book reference.
Goal and description of activities or book extensions towards finding solutions to global, international and intercultural problems

 

Local Relevance (Waste): Every community, regardless of size, struggles with waste management (landfill overflow, litter, recycling contamination). Teaching children about "reduce, reuse, recycle" is a direct, actionable solution they can implement daily.

Global Relevance (Climate and Water): The global issues of climate change, resource depletion, and international conflict over scarce water resources are the defining challenges of the 21st century. Introducing concepts like water conservation and renewable energy at an early age builds a foundation for informed citizenship.

Intercultural Problem: Environmental degradation disproportionately affects marginalized and low-income communities globally. Addressing sustainability inherently involves discussions of environmental justice and global equity, which are key intercultural problems.

 

📚 Jump Start Kit: Book Selections (10 Books)

 

The selections cover diverse genres (fiction, non-fiction, poetry) and multicultural perspectives to ensure rich global learning.

Sample Answer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a comprehensive request for designing a "Jump Start Kit" focused on environmentally sustainable activities and global learning through children's literature. Since I cannot physically bring books or materials, I will provide the detailed plan, rationale, book selections, developmental justifications, and activity designs necessary for the final assignment and presentation.

 

🌎 Sustainable Earth Jump Start Kit: Plan and Rationale
