Teaching Resources
Teachers and professors, check out these ideas for using Grist in the classroom:
- Have students subscribe to one of Grist's news emails, to keep up with the latest environmental goings-on. Grist is a great way to connect the dots between the science, history, or theory you teach and the current events that bring it all to life. And not a bad way to jumpstart classroom discussions either.
- Dive into some of the most titillating discussions going in Gristmill, Grist's blog. Encourage your students to hone their critical-thinking and writing skills by joining the discussion.
- Steer students to green career advice in the columns and blog posts of Kevin Doyle, Grist's jobs columnist. Point them to Grist's job board to find green job ads. And invite Kevin Doyle to your campus to talk about environmental careers.
- Assign students to critically analyze a feature story in Grist -- see how we measure up.
- Add Grist to your syllabus and website. There's a wealth of green information in our archives. (We dare you to find a better way to track environmental news developments over time.)
- Encourage students to send a question to Umbra, Grist's environmental-advice guru.
