This activity is part of a larger environmental education workshop package called Critical Hope; An Approach to Environmental Education which includes almost 30 group or classroom activities.

This stand-alone activity has students working cooperatively in pairs completing sentences begun by the teacher.  These sentences provide a “swift and easy way for people to voice their inner responses to the condition of our world.”  Sentences such as:

“I think the condition of our society is becoming … “

“What concerns me most about the world today is … “

“Ways that I avoid these feelings are … “

This activity can be used in conjunction with the “I Don’t Care” activity referenced here.
