What are your reactions to your GTP reading?
What are your preliminary ideas for leading a class meeting focused on this topic?
I am currently taking a marine science class that focuses on marine policy, which is why I was particularly interested in doing the GTP on environmental policy. One of my first reactions to the chapter I had to read and other research about the topic that I did was that there has been little done politically concerning the environment. They can't even decide at what level environmental policy should be handled at!
Something I would like to do with our class is something that my MSCI teacher is going to have us do on tests which is to take a scenario for an environmental concern and decide how to solve it with new policy. The class would have to take into consideration a budget and deciding who would have jurisdiction on the issue. Also, I would like to do a brief history of the major environmental policies that have been put into place recently. I think that each person in our group should pick a topic on environmental policy that they are actually interested in because it's easier to teach something you care about.
This is a topic that some people might not find as interesting as I do, so I want to try and make it as interactive as possible instead of just showing a powerpoint full of policies and dates. No one is going to want to sit there and listen to us lecture for 50 minutes about every environmental policy ever created. We can hit on the major ones and some recent developments and assign readings on some more of the history.
