Issues Definition Videos
For the issue definition element of the MWEE, students plan and conduct background research and investigations. This work can be anchored with Great Lakes Literacy Principle 1 to connect students’ lived experiences to what is happening in their watershed and the broader Great Lakes watershed. Hear from local teachers about how they boost student engagement and student voice throughout the process. Visit the Issues Definition page to learn more!

Outdoor Field Experiences Videos
Throughout a MWEE, students participate in multiple Outdoor Field Experiences to explore a driving question and interact with their local environment. This work can be anchored with Great Lakes Literacy Principle 5 to connect students’ lived experiences to what is happening in their watershed and the broader Great Lakes watershed. Plan your outdoor field experiences in your watershed by considering what natural features, equipment, facilities, and/or programs would be needed for the location to be accessible for all your students.
