FSI Expedition: “It’s the End of the World As We Know It”: Local Responses to Global Climate Change

At the Franklin School of Innovation, an EL charter school in Asheville, North Carolina, 9th grade students embarked on a learning expedition that had them learning about the causes and impacts of climate change, going out in the field to interview local professionals and experts from local businesses and organizations, and then creating podcasts to address the industries that affect and are affected by climate change. In this year’s series of podcasts students also included a call-to-action component where their words will lead to real action steps in our communities.
