Students will enjoy creating their story recordings for the authentic purpose of sharing them with this project.
Having students explain how climate change impacts them will help them see the relevance and importance of climate action.
Prerequisites
Teachers will need to guide students in using technology to create a good audio or video recording.
Students may need additional time and support to understand how climate change impacts their community and, in turn, their lives.
Before having students submit their recording, teachers will need to gather the proper permissions from parents and guardians.
Differentiation & Implementation
Teachers using a platform like Google Classroom can use the prompts in the first step of the Climate Story process to create an online worksheet that students can use for brainstorming.
For inspiration, students can check out the climate stories in this map, or incorporate this as a culminating activity for a lesson about climate stories worldwide.
Teachers can make connections to media studies by having students create video recordings that incorporate visual elements to help tell their stories.
Language arts teachers can ask students to incorporate narrative elements, such as a hook and sensory details.
