Teaching tips
Positives
- These youth voices and stories are an inspiration for student action.
- Students will be able to find a video for any topic of interest relating to climate change.
Prerequisites
- Depending on the topic of the video, students may need background information about climate change, biodiversity, and fossil fuels.
Differentiation & Implementation
- Each video has a category alignment. Teachers can use videos to support lessons about impacts on Indigenous communities, pollution, wildfires, and a range of other climate-related topics.
- Students can use the resource as inspiration to create their own video project for impacts in their area or impacts that are important to them.
- Teachers can have students choose 2-3 short videos to watch, recording the title, filmmaker, and coordinates. Students can then summarize the video for the rest of the class, making notes about the artistic choices.
