Teaching Materials
Positives
- This resource includes a thorough teacher's guide and an instruction sheet for students that features a poster exemplar.
- The research and reading links are excellent resources that can be differentiated for readers at multiple levels.
Additional Prerequisites
- Students should have some background knowledge on climate change and potential solutions.
- In order to complete this project, students will need access to the reading materials from the teacher's guide; these are best distributed digitally.
Differentiation
- This resource would work equally well in language arts or science classes that are working on non-fiction reading comprehension, public speaking, or climate change topics.
- Cross-curricular connections can be made in health or social studies classes that are discussing how healthy choices can also be climate solutions, or how citizen and government action can lead to climate solutions.
- This project can be extended by providing a text set of additional resources for more research.
- Consider providing a rubric or exemplar for public speaking.
