Synopsis

Don’t wait to see the light! takes readers into a world where energy, innovation and sustainability shape everyday life. Through the story of Luz and her journey towards greater environmental awareness, this graphic novel encourages students to reflect on the impact of human choices on the planet and the importance of building a more sustainable future.

Inspired by this story of discovery and change, this teaching material combines reading, discussion and hands-on STEM activities to help students explore key issues related to renewable energy, sustainable design, responsible consumption and environmental awareness. Through experimentation, creativity and collaboration, students are encouraged to become active changemakers for a better tomorrow. . Step by step, they develop essential skills in critical literacy, scientific inquiry, creativity and social awareness, while also strengthening their communication skills in different languages.

This booklet, which includes four units and is designed according to the PROMISED model, provides teachers with a flexible, ready-to-use framework that connects literature, STEAM education and global citizenship. The material can be adapted to different teaching contexts, making it a versatile resource that fosters innovation in bilingual and multilingual classrooms. It includes practical activities, digital resources and assessment tools, all aligned with the challenges of global sustainability and marine conservation.
