Reclaiming the Future: Reforestation in Appalachia. Teachers Guide

摘要

Students in Kentucky are bombarded with information regarding the impacts of coal mining on the environment. As educators, we have a responsibility to present as much relevant and accurate information from as many different perspectives as we can. This DVD presents the research of the Reforestation of Surface Mined Lands Initiative efforts. It will show students that there are ways to mitigate the impacts of coal mining on forested areas and the recommended approach needed for that protection. This Teachers Guide presents some Research and Discussion Questions, Activities and Lesson Plan Resources, Literature Connections, Helpful Organizations and Links, and Video Recordings under different topic areas that may be used to help students gain an understanding of the complex issue of coal mining reclamation in Kentucky.
