Differentiation

• Students in social studies classes can discuss adaptation solutions for the communities identified in the video.  
• English language arts classes or science classes can research climate change effects in their local areas and write a blog to inform the public on the causes, current effects, and possible solutions. 
• This video can be paired with the Essentials of Environmental Science: Basics of Climate Science video so that students can learn the basic terms of climate change or use one of the resources linked above.
