January - Understanding Climate Change
January
Tasks for teachers:
I have divided all the teachers into groups, and I kindly ask you to stick to the topic that has been assigned to you. I assigned the topics completely spontaneously and randomly. We have 5 topics, just like the students. For the topic you received, you need to do the following:
- A presentation or video presentation or poster, or some digital work. You can choose the digital tool in which you will work.
- After you have created your digital work, you need to write a lesson plan for one or two hours in which you will include your work. You can write the lesson plan however you like; there is no specific template.
- You must conduct this lesson with your students, take photos of everything, and upload the pictures to the shared Padlet. https://padlet.com/zeljkahutinski/my-funky-padlet-jykyv8m3byck4gi6
Here is your topic:
Team 1: Causes of Climate Change: Bahar, Jose Carlos, Maria Laura, Serafina
Team 2: Impacts on the Environment: Željka, Hale, Seher
Team 3: Effects on Biodiversity: Banek, Dareen, Mehtap
Team 4: Human Health Implications: Catalina, Katarzyna, Monika, Tugba
Team 5: Economic Consequences: Corina, Hatice, Mar, Teona
Tasks for Students:
Mixed international teams: Climate Champions eTwinning project
