Planning your topic

This section is designed to help you plan a topic on the theme of Consumption. It will also offer support to teachers whose pupils are taking part in 'The Very Hungry School' online discussion.

WWF's Planning Guide series

hs 104384
WWF is currently developing a series of topic planning guides for teachers.

These guides are designed to:

  • help you build your understanding of a Learning for Sustainability approach to teaching and learning;
  • help you apply this understanding as you plan topics and develop activities;
  • offer examplar activities for you to try out in the classroom.

In addition to the Planning Guide on Consumption and Sustainability, the following guides are planned or at pilot stage:

  • Communities and Sustainability (pilot)
  • Technology and Sustainability (planned).

If you would like to take part in piloting these materials, or for further information on WWF's Planning Guide series, contact cduggan@wwf.org.uk.
