About the Project

¡Sí se puede! Book Club Part 2 is a new project that will focus on reading and writing about environmental issues. We will meet monthly to read and discuss books that have an environmental focus. As the students read like authors and scientists, they will not only be learning the authors content but also the craft of writing like a scientist/ environmentalist. In the spirit of Rachel Carson as the mother of environmental studies, we will uncover her love for the environment, her social activism, her passion for writing and be inspired by her unrelenting work. I will carefully curate a list of books that are both fiction and non-fiction, works of narrative, poetry, and biography.
