Enquiry-based, student-led unit of work on the topic of Climate change, with the COP 26 Conference as a starting point.
Students will learn about COP 26 through discussions, research and videos. They will investigate/evaluate it’s importance by creating an infographic/poster on COP 26. I have included some model infographics/posters created by my students for inspiration within the lesson PPT.
Students will then dive into learning about climate change as a topic. This is a student-led, peer-teaching activity, where students will be in small groups creating lessons (or ‘teaching episodes’) on various climate change sub-topics. Each group will then present/teach their sub-topics to the group.
There are 3 assessments in this unit:
The COP 26 Poster/infographic
The teaching episodes/presentations (I have a success criteria included for this)
End of unit assessement - I use the free online platform to create a comphrensive multiple-choice and true/false quiz based on the content delivered during the presentations. I can share the code for the Socrative Quiz I created - please drop me a message for this :)
