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:

  1. A presentation or video presentation or poster, or some digital work. You can choose the digital tool in which you will work.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
