Positives

• This video is a great way to empower students to think about their role in solving climate change and take action accordingly.
• This video also highlights the importance of social media and local action in raising awareness about the urgency of climate change.
  

Additional Prerequisites

• Although the video discusses climate change globally, some of the discussion surrounding governments and solutions, like declaring a climate emergency, is focused on the United States.
• This resource requires access to the Internet.
• The beginning shows the stress and anxiety of the student as he watches clips about climate change, which may cause anxiety or stress in the students as well.
  

Differentiation
