In this lesson, students analyze climate fiction stories and plan their own place-based cli-fi narrative.

Inquire: Students imagine what our world will look like in the future and reflect on the hopes and fears that informed their thinking.

Investigate: Students learn about the genre of climate fiction (cli-fi) then compare and contrast the themes two young Maine authors develop in their cli-fi short stories.

Inspire: Students plan their own cli-fi story that illustrates their vision of what it might take to survive and thrive in the face of present and future climate change.
