This activity not only allows students to hear two different points of view, but also to hear two different speaking styles.
This activity is a quick and low-prep option for media literacy.
Prerequisites
Teachers should note that the speaker says the word "hell" in the video Why Globalism Fails and Nationalism is Relatable.
Students should be familiar with climate change and other global issues.
Differentiation & Implementation
Teachers can use this activity in a lesson about the UN Sustainable Development Goals by using them as an example of an attempt at global cooperation to solve global problems.
To show an example of countries working together successfully to address a global issue, teachers can discuss the Montreal Protocol and use this resource to help explain the steps for addressing global problems.
To give students choice in this activity, teachers can provide students with the full list of questions and allow them to select one from each focus area to answer.
