She\u2019s created lessons about everything from the impacts of climate change on wildlife to environmental careers in New Mexico. Now, we have three new plans based on a show we aired this summer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newmexicopbs.org\/productions\/newmexicoinfocus\/our-land\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Loving Our Changing Homelands<\/a> and featuring Paula Garcia, executive director of the New Mexico Acequia Association, and Theresa Pasqual and Aaron Lowden from the Pueblo of Acoma.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out all our middle school lesson plans on the <a href=\"https:\/\/nm.pbslearningmedia.org\/collection\/our-land-collection\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PBS LearningMedia website<\/a> but the three latest lesson plans include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/nm.pbslearningmedia.org\/resource\/mapping-ourselves-and-our-world-video-gallery\/our-land\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mapping Ourselves and Our World<\/a> &#8211; Students will reflect on their own connections to the world around them and consider the many ways of understanding where they live, what they need to have a healthy community, and the roles they choose to play in the world around them. As part of this lesson plan, students will think about their roles in their families and communities and explore their identities and relationships. They will also consider what aspects of their communities might be under threat, and what solutions they might consider developing and acting upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/nm.pbslearningmedia.org\/resource\/seeds-food-culture-video-gallery\/our-land\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">For the Future: Seeds, Food, and Culture<\/a> &#8211; Learn about the importance of seeds and how and why people in the arid Southwest select seeds for certain traits, including drought durability. Students will also consider what seeds or foods are important to their own families and cultures and consider how knowledge is passed from generation to generation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/nm.pbslearningmedia.org\/resource\/stewardship-in-the-schoolyard-video-gallery\/our-land\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stewardship in the Schoolyard<\/a> &#8211; Students will explore their own watersheds to become better stewards of the lands and waters they rely upon. They will also learn how to slow water in their schoolyards or neighborhoods to help water infiltrate the ground and recharge local aquifers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nm.pbslearningmedia.org\/collection\/our-land-collection\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">If you click on the individual tiles for the lessons<\/a>, you&#8217;ll see that each includes videos, information about the state\/federal standards, handouts, and a lesson plan guide for teachers.
