This Year’s Theme

Worksheet Description

This Earth Day worksheet is an insightful tool for self-reflection and education on the importance of environmental themes. At the top, there is a cheerful Earth character, symbolizing the focus of the day on our planet. The worksheet prompts students to engage with the current year’s Earth Day theme by asking three questions: what the theme is, why they think this theme was chosen, and what the theme means to them personally.

The first question requires students to identify or recall the theme of the year’s Earth Day, which is selected to highlight a specific aspect of environmental conservation or an urgent environmental issue. The second question encourages students to consider the reasons behind the selection of the theme, prompting them to think critically about current environmental challenges and priorities. The final question allows for introspection, as students express what the theme signifies to them, fostering a personal connection to the cause and potentially inspiring a commitment to environmental action. Through this exercise, students are not only informed about Earth Day but are also motivated to reflect on their role in preserving the Earth, making the worksheet an effective educational resource for fostering environmental awareness and stewardship.
