Resources and Guides
Live it Earth produces 8 feature shows per school year. Along with new feature shows and their resources, you also get access to all the shows in our library and their resources.
10 days before the feature show launches, we will send you an email to let you know that your teacher resources are ready.

Whenever possible we strive to include and integrate the indigenous perspectives in our Feature Show and Slideshow resources. In some cases, we have provided a supplemental video in our Explore section that provides more time and space for indigenous experts to share insights, traditional knowledge and connections to other related topics.
Call-to-Action:
We at Live It Earth value a learning-by-doing approach to encourage learners to foster their own personal and social values organically. Each show and slideshow will recommend a call to action for our viewers! The prompts in each show will vary from citizen science to community service, and experiential or project-based learning.
