Students learn about the importance of respecting stakeholder perspectives when making judgments about the use of solar power. To begin the lesson, students examine a news story to learn criteria and a strategy to help identify stakeholders and perspectives. After reading an article about school solar energy projects, students use the strategy to identify possible stakeholders and their perspectives. Students then use criteria to rate the usefulness of the perspectives. To conclude the lesson, students create an informative news article to describe the interests of key stakeholders in a school solar energy project.
