Climate Change adaptation / mitigation AQA New spec, GCSE Geography

LESSON COVERS:
the definition of and difference between adaptation and mitigation and examples of how each in being employed in relation to climate change.

LESSON INVOLVES:
the main part of the lesson involves watching a selection of short videos or sections of hyperlinked videos. students make notes on a choice of two template sheets and categorise the video as an example of mitigation, adaptation, or both. Following this they choose a role from the COP21 meetings in Paris and write a speech using what they have learnt within the context of their role (prompts for what to include are on the screen).

RESOURCES:
all the videos are hyperlinked, to access them put the powerpoint in slide show mode and click on the screen grabs. Some videos have a note underneath saying which parts of the video to watch (if they are too long). Pre-teach the term "desalinisation" before showing the desalinisation video. The sheets the students can use to make notes are differentiated - the blank venn diagram is for more able students.
