English Language Arts skills are crucial to support students with their learning about climate change. Through reading and discussing relevant, engaging texts, students can build their reading skills, while connecting with the issues and ways to address them. Students can strengthen a range of writing skills by writing about climate change in a variety of genres. As examples, staking a claim and using strong evidence in an argument piece can empower and offer students agency over troubling topics, and narrative writing may allay their anxiety.
