The Climate Change Challenge- Module 3

[Maura Curran]

To introduce climate change facts to my 6th class pupils activities will be planned using these three  videos: Home, Greta Thunberg’s speech at UN COP 25, and the Climate Aid 2020 video. I hope to begin by showing selected scenes from the documentary Home, highlighting the beauty of Earth and the environmental damage caused by human activity. Pupils can then discuss how deforestation, pollution, and the use of fossil fuels contribute to climate change. Next I will show a short clip from Greta Thunberg’s speech , encouraging pupils to reflect on the urgency of climate action and the role young people can play. This will hopefully  lead to a group discussion or written response about why climate change matters to them personally. Finally, the Climate Aid 2020 video will be used to explore how global communities are coming together to fight climate change, using music and storytelling to inspire action. As a follow-up activity, pupils could create posters, slogans, or short presentations on what they’ve learned and how they can help protect the planet. Hopefully these activities will inform, inspire, and empower pupils to think critically and act responsibly on climate issues.
