Gr6/7 Climate Change - Five Perspectives (Video+Reading Materials+Lesson Ideas)

Help your middle schoolers dive deep into the complexities of climate change with this engaging and thought-provoking resource!

"Climate Change: Five Perspectives" goes beyond basic facts, encouraging students to analyze diverse viewpoints and develop their critical thinking skills.

This comprehensive resource includes:

  • Five compelling letters, each written to the United: Each letter presents a unique perspective on climate change, written from the point of view of:

    • The Urgent Activist
    • The Cautious Skeptic
    • The Technological Optimist
    • The Economic Pragmatist
    • The Frontline Youth (a student living in Kiribati)
  • A companion AI video where the five letters are read aloud by their authors.

  • 12 Engaging Assignments: Designed to spark critical thinking and enhance literacy skills, these activities encourage students to:

    • Analyze author's craft, purpose, and structure.
    • Synthesize information and evaluate evidence.
    • Compare and contrast perspectives.
    • Develop their own informed opinions.
  • Alignment with Curriculum: This resource integrates with many Grade 6 literacy outcomes and climate change units. It was paritcularly aimed at the Alberta curriciulum.

Why This Resource Stands Out:

  • Promotes Critical Thinking: Students learn to analyze different viewpoints, evaluate evidence, and form their own conclusions.
  • Encourages Empathy and Global Awareness: By exploring diverse perspectives, students gain a deeper understanding of how climate change impacts people around the world.
  • Offers Flexibility: The resource can be adapted for individual work, small group activities, or whole-class discussions.
  • Saves You Time: The ready-to-use letters, video, and assignments make it easy to implement this resource in your classroom.

Spark meaningful conversations about climate change and empower your students to become informed, engaged global citizens!
