Eighth graders explore the beauty of the natural world and the responsibilities of leaving an abundance of resources to future generations. Students will read both literary and informational texts to gain insight into those who have worked tirelessly to conserve natural resources and wildlife through art, adventure, and activism. By analyzing the authors use of language, devices, and connections between ideas, 8th graders will examine how these activists motivated others to take up the conservation cause.
