Teaching Materials
Positives
- This resource does a great job of showing students a different way to inform others or communicate a message.
- The infographics give readers the statistics to explain the reasoning behind their cartoon panels.
Additional Prerequisites
- There are a few questions in the discussion guide that reference this specific section, however, the lesson plan is for all of the climate effects sections of the module.
- Students should understand what climate change is and how humans are contributing to climate change.
Differentiation
- Students can research other aspects of inequality and climate change, such as the inability to recuperate or relocate when a weather event threatens to displace citizens.
- Students can create their own informative piece using comics or any other medium that is preferred to display and communicate a different disparity related to climate change.
- Students can discuss solutions to help address the inequalities that have come about as a result of climate change. Have them explore this Table of Solutions and identify all of the individual actions.
