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!

Help your AVID or ELA students build reading comprehension and practice using text evidence with these editable discussion cards and talking chips for an article on solar eclipses!

Great for: using text evidence, collaboration and team building, public speaking practice,

⭐AVID BUNDLE!⭐

✨Solar Eclipse Bundle✨

DIRECTIONS:

• Access your forced copy of the Google Doc with the article on solar eclipses. Allow students to read, take notes in the margin, and summarize the article by answering the essential question at the top.

• Go to the last slide to add your own discussion prompts.

• Click "File" then "Download" and then "PDF" to download the prompts as a PDF document.

• Print, cut, and laminate a set of cards for each of your groups of 4-5 students.

• Print, cut, and laminate talking chips.

• Put students into groups of 4-5.

• Decide how many talking chips each student gets (this encourages participation during the dialogue and teaches students how to use social cues when deciding when to share, instead of raising a hand).

• One student draws a card from the top. That student asks the question and dialogue begins in the group. Students should have the short story handy so they can use evidence in their responses.

• When dialogue dies down, students continue taking turns drawing a card, asking questions. and having discussions.

• Students should discard the questions already asked so they don't repeat any.

WHAT's INCLUDED:

• Google Doc with a solar eclipse article
• Google slide with printable talking chips
• 20 Discussion Prompts in color and black & white
• Editable Discussion Prompt Cards in color and black & white
