Looking for a simple worksheet for students to complete while watching episode 6 of Our Planet: High Seas?

Our Planet is a British nature documentary series made for Netflix. The series is narrated by David Attenborough and produced by Silverback Films, led by Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey, who also created BBC documentary series Planet Earth, Frozen Planet and The Blue Planet, in collaboration with the conservation charity World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Netflix has the free episodes of their Our Planet series on YouTube. Each episode is between 49 to 51 minutes long. I usually have students vote on which one they want to watch. You do NOT have to watch them in order.

Earth Day is celebrated to raise awareness about environmental issues such as pollution, deforestation, climate change, and endangered species. It encourages individuals, communities, and governments to take action to preserve and protect the Earth’s natural resources.

Why is Earth Day important?

Earth Day is crucial because it brings people together to advocate for sustainable practices and policies. By promoting environmental awareness and activism, Earth Day plays a vital role in inspiring positive change and fostering a deeper connection between humanity and the planet.

This 90-minute lesson plan will help you teach your A1-A2 students basic facts about Earth Day in a very communicative way. The video 'What Is Earth Day?' is used throughout. There are many activities designed especially for levels A1-A2, and the answers are provided at the end.

Students roll the dice to unravel a magical and exciting tapestry of settings, protagonists, antagonists, conflicts, and Earth Day-themed elements, igniting creativity and narrative fluency! Perfect for narrative writing units, centers, daily writing, public speaking practice, Fun Friday, and more!
