What is it like to grow up im a place that's going away?
Students examine the impact of climate change through the stories of three children living in the Marshall Islands in this lesson plan featuring The Last Generation, an interactive documentary co-produced by FRONTLINE and The GroundTruth Project.
Lesson summary
What is it like to grow up in a place that is disappearing? The Marshall Islands is a low-lying nation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean that is threatened by rising seas. Half of its 50,000 residents are under the age of 18 and face the reality that their home may become uninhabitable during their lifetime unless aggressive mitigation strategies are adopted globally to slow sea level rise. This lesson gives teachers the option of presenting a multidisciplinary or integrated lesson that allows students to examine the impact of climate change as viewed through three children living in the Marshall Islands. Students form jigsaw groups to engage with one of three story strands, taking advantage of the unique interactive nature of the documentary presentation. Members from each group will contribute what they’ve learned through discussion in a culminating activity that covers science, history, and civics.
