High School and Middle School Teachers
Your Student Writers, Photographers and Cartoonists
Can Be Online Monthly and In Print Frequently
Contribute to The Green – An Environmental Newsletter by and for Teens
Also, Teacher Suggestions for Curriculum Connected In-Class Assignments
THE GREEN PROVIDES a place where students can voice their thoughts,
ideas, photography and art about the environment and have their
contributions seen by other students and adults in the Bay Area and
across the nation. The Green is sent to 2,000 people online monthly and
the Anthology is printed yearly. Our goal is to have articles printed
in newspapers that are local to the student contributors.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR is poetry, creative writing, editorials,
interviews, book reviews, rants and raves, photos, drawings, comic
strips, anything environmentally-related you’d like to share. We
welcome all types of writing and artwork. Your students don’t need to
be experts! They just need to be willing to contribute.
YOU CAN GET STARTED BY browsing through the current issue of The Green
and the related links. Just go to
www.earthteam.net/green_news/index.html. Then, if you feel ready,
contact us and start submitting !!
TEACHERS – Take a look at the For Teachers link on the link mentioned
above for ideas on how to incorporate The Green into your lesson
plans. Use The Green to energize a writing or photography assignment,
encourage students to publish their work, expose students to other
youth writings, and to incorporate technology into your curriculum.
Please invite us to visit your classroom.
THE GREEN TEAM is made up of students who agree to submit a
contribution every month. With 8 or more contributions you can receive
a small monetary reward at the end of the school year. Or, if they
would rather just submit something every once-in-a-while, we welcome
that as well.
THE GREEN ADVISORY TEAM is made up of a small number of students who
meet monthly with Matt Sieving, the Green Intern and Outreach
Coordinator. They review the current issue and come up with new ideas.
They may be interns but that is not required.
THE GREEN INTERNSHIP is a very important step in improving The Green. A
Green intern will become editor of a monthly section as well as
contributing one piece of your own work to each issue. Some of the
monthly sections are: Rants and Raves, Ask Dr. Green, Interviews,
Poetry, Opinion, Cartoon of the Month, Photography, Events or your
idea.
CONTACT WHO? Feel free to contact either Geoff or Matt. Geoff
Chandler is the Editor of The Green. Geoff is a retired high school
English teacher and former Director of the Environmental Academy at
Pinole Valley High School. You can reach him at GeoffC@earthteam.net
or 925-274-3669. Matt Sieving is the Intern and Outreach Coordinator
for The Green. Matt graduated from the University of Pennsylvania this
past May. He’ll be with EarthTeam until September 2006 when he’ll go
to law school with plans to become an attorney for non-profits. You
can reach him at MattS@earthteam.net or 510-919-4494.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
