Teaching tips
Positives
- Students will love acting as the Earth Cubs characters, adding an element of play to the learning experience.
- This presentation is bright and fun and defines and explains the SDGs clearly.
Prerequisites
- It may benefit students to understand what humans and animals need to live.
- Students should have a general idea of the causes and impacts of climate change.
Differentiation & Implementation
- To take a closer look at the Sustainable Development Goals, students can do the media literacy activity UN Sustainable Development Goals and Graphics.
- Students can select one of the Sustainable Development Goals to inspire a work of art. For example, a student who chooses Goal 10 can draw a representation of equality.
- Teachers can draw students' attention to the action items suggested by some of the Earth Cubs characters, such as riding your bike or avoiding single-use plastic. Students can create an action plan to take steps toward these items and share their ideas with the class.
