While students would provide correct answers, they would be narrow. The result of this lesson was that students began to incorporate a wider range of sustainability elements because the Sustainability Compass routine provided a scaffold to more holistically analyse a source. Students began analysing from multiple perspectives and using critical thinking to balance what was most important.
