This short video features three young people from New York who survived Hurricane Sandy and offer encouragement and solidarity to others who have experienced similar losses.
The "Hope After Hurricanes" lesson plan is also included with this video to further explore the emotional costs of more extreme weather.
These three voices show that dealing with extreme weather from climate change is not something we have to do alone.
Additional Prerequisites
The video is available to view without an account but teachers must sign in to access the lesson plan.
Differentiation
Teachers could show this video after a natural disaster happens to show that we are all in this together, that we share one planet, and all of us must take care of the planet and each other.
This video could be used to help students understand empathy and work on their social and emotional skills.
