Bees: Lesson 7

2 of 5

Challenge!

  • European honeybees and Green Carpenter Bee populations are in trouble in Australia – so what are YOU going to do about it?

  • Write a climate fiction story from the bees’ perspective. This can be either utopian (best case scenarios) or dystopian (worst case scenarios).

  • Make use of your new scientific understandings of bees to come up with your creative story that advocates for bees.

Let's discuss: What is Cli-Fi?

How do you write it?: three paragraphs if a narrative (beginning, middle, end); other outputs might be cartoon, TikTok video; form might be poetry, scientific…

Will your Cli-Fi be dystopian (world ending) or utopian (everyone survives)?

Who are the characters and what is the plot?
