A reflection and overview of my semester:
In Global citizenship this past semester I have addressed history and civic literacy. I did not spend as much time on Global Citizenship work as I should have. For a lack of better words, environmental law can be quite boring. I had to find a manner of learning environmental law that would make me want to learn it. I ended up watching videos on environmental law and this was more helpful than reading long articles. My project for Global Citizenship is a lesson plan for a middle school or high school class learning about the government and laws. The lesson plan aims to have students think more deeply about the importance of water and how our government controls pollution and the cleanliness of water. Overall I feel good with my project work for Global Citizenship, although I could have spent more time on History.

I chose to study environmental law because I feel as though it is crucial for me to know what laws are protecting or possibly harming our environment, considering my study is climate change." |
Lesson plan: understanding the importance and controversy of water
I am working on creating a lesson plan for a global citizenship class. In this lesson plan I aim to highlight current issues around clean water availability.
Native American tribes v. the U.S. Government:
A timeline of important court cases and events involving environmental law
The timeline is a project I ended up abandoning after deciding that I needed to focus on my lesson plan as a whole rather than one section of it. I planned on going back and finishing the timeline at the end of the year if it had time, this did not happen. I wanted to include the timeline as a reference for curious students who wanted to learn more about Native American history with the government.
