- The video "Change is Possible" could accompany a classroom discussion about the Green New Deal, how it could help America fight climate change, and what political obstacles are keeping it from becoming law.
- The poem "Cheeseburgers Killed the Movement" could supplement a classroom discussion about the extent to which personal responsibility should be emphasized when talking about climate change.
- The musical performances display how one student can make their own duet or quartet using video and recording software. Consider using these videos to encourage music students to create their own arrangements and record each part for the ensemble.
