Original Prompt

I would like to make a worksheet for this video about food waste and global warming. I would like the first sections to be for vocabulary in the video that students can do as they watch the video. The following is a summary of the YouTube video https://youtu.be/HzOeXoiqF9w?si=qWNcuRaMZybLiBiE: In the video, Diana Cherednichenko discusses the pressing issue of food waste, emphasizing that a staggering one-third of globally produced food is wasted. She highlights the environmental implications

This educational resource focuses on understanding key vocabulary related to food waste and its connection to climate change. Students engage with the material through vocabulary matching activities that link terms such as food waste, greenhouse gases, global warming, and composting with their definitions. The resource also includes sentence completion exercises to reinforce vocabulary usage in context, as well as guided viewing of a video on food waste and production. Furthermore, students analyze resources used in bread production and reflect on the implications of food waste for the environment. The document concludes with an action plan for students to brainstorm ways to reduce waste at home, emphasizing the significance of their actions in combating climate change.
