The effects of climate change Case Study: Tuvalu full lesson.

A lesson I created for a teaching interview (I got the job!).

The lesson explores how climate change is affecting the small islands of Tuvalu.

The lesson contains:

• a hook starter task to draw students into the topic with a short video around how the government in Tuvalu is trying to raise awareness.
• Quick tasks including some simple locational map skills, match the word to the picture task for the effect of climate change.
• A main task that gets students considering the social, environmental and economic impacts.
• A think pair share task to summarise what they have learnt.
• A quick ending task that gets students thinking about potential solutions, plus images of solutions already being used in the area.

This is a really lovely lesson that gets kids thinking outside of the box, and thinking Geographically in all areas.

Designed as a one hour lesson but could easily stretch over 2 if needed.

Note: the template needed for the main task can simply be printed from slide 10. This could be an individual task , pair, or group task,
