Description: 'Green Reads' for Environmental Learning for Children - Book / Media List 2 - is organized by 6 themes. The categories start with the internal / personal connection to nature and progress to the 'global citizenship' level. I do not see the levels as being sequential; each learning group will have its interests and curricular to consider. There are 54 recommended reads in total (to date).

Subject: Revised Curriculum; Applied Skills; Arts Education; Cross-Curricular; Social Justice; English Language Arts; Health and PE; Outdoor Education; Science; Social Studies; Research; Curriculum; Learning; Pedagogy; Reflective practice

Keywords: environmental learning; place based learning; green literature; outdoor education; identity and awareness; ethics and activism; social and physical history

Learning Standards: A 'Book and Media List' of reviewed literature and media (film, websites) for children. This "green reads" book and media list was compiled over several years as part of a BCTF Inquiry Project with TELA and EEPSA members. The final inquiry question was: As an elementary teacher, how can I use selected children's literature and media as a springboard for experiencing and connecting to nature in our school and community environments?

Duration: 30 to 60 minutes for each Read-Aloud and follow-up literary or outdoor education experience
