Students will launch the environmental podcast project by studying local habitat examples, listening to one another’s observations and ideas, and beginning to understand the needs of people, plants, and animals in their school community. They will gather early evidence from a community partner resource, identify possible environmental actions, and create an initial empathy-based campaign note set that prepares them to define a focused problem next.

Students will sort evidence from the launch and community partner resources, identify a real school need, and turn that evidence into a clear team problem statement for their Eco Action podcast campaign.

Students will use their problem statements and community evidence to generate many possible school environmental campaign ideas, compare those ideas through a human-centered lens, and choose one promising direction for their team podcast campaign.

Students will turn their chosen school environmental action into a first campaign draft by studying strong podcast moves, planning with evidence from earlier research, building a rough Adobe Podcast recording, and revising after structured peer feedback.

Students will test their draft eco action podcast campaign with peers and a community-informed audience, collect specific feedback about clarity, evidence, and usefulness, and revise their problem statement, message, and call to action based on what users say they need.

Students will use structured critique routines to improve their school eco action podcast campaign by checking whether their message is clear, evidence-based, and useful for a real school audience. They will compare their draft campaign materials and podcast scripts to user needs, give feedback to 2 peers, revise their work, and show specific changes before moving into final polishing.

Students will present their revised school eco action campaigns and Adobe Podcast episodes to an authentic audience, share podcast links beyond the classroom, and document how research, feedback, and teamwork shaped their final message and next environmental actions.
