sDG 14 – Life Below Water / SDG 15 – Life on Land
#LiteracyApproach #LiteracyIsForLife

Creativity as scientific communication

GOAL: To blend art, environmental awareness, and persuasive literacy.

Nature is our life support system. It provides us with food to eat, air to breathe, materials to build with and beauty to behold. But right now it is in crisis. 

After watching a thought-provoking video, our students accepted the third challenge of the SDGs and used their creativity SYMBOLICALLY for change by uploading their tree drawings (planting trees, metaphorically) to contribute to grow bigger our digital forest so as to show that they care for nature. Because they do. In addition, for awareness.

Let's create our own digital forest! Let's plant our trees!! CHALLENGE Accepted!!

This interactive map allows you to listen to forests around the world

TASKS:

1. Sensory Warm-up
   

   Close eyes while you listen to your teacher for 30 seconds and imagine a forest. What do you hear? Smell? Touch?
   
   

2. Mini texts: “What Artivists Do...”
   Examples of art activists.
   
   

3. FINAL TASK: Create the “Forest Tile”
   You must design:
   
   

• A tree, animal, river, or plant plus a short message (max. 10 words) protecting nature. These tiles will later be assembled into a giant paper-based forest on the wall.
  
  

4. FINAL TASK 2: Micro-Product: The Literacy Leaf
   WRITE A leaf-shaped slip containing a haiku or three-line poem about nature.

USE: Word morpheme bank (earth-, eco-, bio-, re-).

Example: Our Eco-Earth

Earth is our home,

Eco trees grow.

Bio life is everywhere,

In the water, in the air.

Reduce, reuse, recycle too,

Replant a flower,

Renew the blue.

Eco hands can help each day, Bio friends along the way. Earth is our home,

Let’s care and grow.

CHALLENGE NUMBER 3: (ART)IVISM FOR NATURE. Creatividad como forma de comunicación científica

Nuestro alumnado ha aceptado el tercer reto del proyecto: (Art)ivism for Nature, vinculado a los ODS 14: Vida submarina y ODS 15: Vida de ecosistemas terrestres.

Después de ver un vídeo para reflexionar sobre la situación actual de la naturaleza, han utilizado el arte, la conciencia medioambiental y la escritura persuasiva para lanzar un mensaje claro: la naturaleza importa y debemos cuidarla.

La actividad comenzó con una pequeña experiencia sensorial: cerrar los ojos e imaginar un bosque, sus sonidos, olores y texturas. Después, el alumnado descubrió qué hacen los artivists, personas que usan el arte para generar conciencia y promover el cambio.

Como producto final, cada estudiante diseñó una forest tile: una pequeña pieza artística con un árbol, animal, río o planta, acompañada de un mensaje breve en defensa de la naturaleza. Todas las piezas se unirán para crear nuestro propio bosque colectivo en el aula.

Además, cada alumno y alumna escribió una Literacy Leaf, una hoja con un haiku o poema de tres versos sobre la naturaleza, utilizando palabras relacionadas con earth-, eco-, bio- y re-.
