Climate Change: Timelines and Context

11/3/2015

 
Starter 30:
Take a few minutes, and finish the movie questions from yesterday.  Now pair up with someone from (GASP!) the other side of the room, and share your takeaways from page 3 only. 
  • Find at least 2 similarities with your partner
  • Find at least 2 differences with your partner
 
Objective:  To develop a more nuanced understanding of how climate issues have been approached in the past, and to get a broad working vocabulary around climate change issues and actions.
 
Framing:  Today is going to be a really important day, and a really independent day.  You’re going to work together with your partner to gain a more cohesive sense of climate change issues and actions.  As you do this, you should be thinking about potential solutions you could put in your legislation!

Timelines:
With your new soulmate, turn to pages 5 and 6. Use the following timeline resources to fill out your climate timelines. Pay attention to the vocabulary on page 7!   Fill it out as you encounter it.  By the end of class today, you should have pages 5, 6, and 7 finished.
