Lesson Plans

We want students to understand the violence that environmental damage enacts on our planet. Environmental damage often pales in comparison to the attention-grabbing headlines of war and armed conflict and passes unnoticed.

 Introduction to EcoPoetry

EcoPoetry & Slow Violence

 

The first two lessons sensitise students to how the natural world’s timescales stretch beyond their own, as a means of understanding how our actions have lasting, albeit unintended consequences.

 Interconnectedness

The third lesson continues to expand student perspectives by focusing on the oft-uncritically adopted politics of representing the non-human animal and how this affects our relationship to the "environment".

Consolidation

Lastly, the sixth and seventh lessons use Maya Angelou’s “On the Pulse of Morning” as a model of environmentally conscious poetry that coheres the three earlier unit themes in a single work of poetry.

Environmental Justice

​

 

The fourth and fifth lessons then unearth the uneven distribution of environmental impact through exploring the poetry of environmental disasters situated in the global south.
