This lesson aligns with the New Zealand Curriculum objectives for Geography, focusing on sustainability and environmental impact studies.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 min | Briefly introduce the topic of climate change. Ask students what they know about it and gather initial thoughts on causes and impacts. |
| 2 | Presentation of Facts | 10 min | Use a projector to present a slideshow covering key facts about climate change, including statistics. Distribute printed handouts for reference. |
| 3 | Group Discussion | 5 min | Divide the class into groups of 4 and let them discuss the presented information. Each group prepares brief points on the effects of climate change in their local area. |
| 4 | Share Group Findings | 5 min | Invite one representative from each group to summarize their findings. Ensure that all groups are able to share without one person presenting alone. |
| 5 | Solutions Brainstorming | 3 min | Have a short class brainstorm session on potential local and global solutions to climate change. Write ideas on the whiteboard. |
| 6 | Wrap-Up and Homework | 2 min | Summarize key points of the lesson and assign homework related to climate change, such as a short reflective piece on what students learned. |
Students will write a reflective paragraph on how climate change could affect their community in the future and propose one local initiative to combat its effects. This will be submitted via email for feedback rather than presenting in class.
The homework will be assessed based on understanding of the material, thoughtfulness in the proposed initiative, and clarity of writing. Feedback will be given via written comments without requiring presentations.
