Lesson 7

This lesson plan aims to teach 6th grade students about how climate change personally impacts different people and regions. Students will compare interviews with their parents about experiences with climate change. They will watch a video and discuss how climate change currently and potentially affects them. Through case studies on Guatemala, Costa Rica, and the Caribbean, students will learn how climate change manifestations differ by location and identify potential individual solutions. The goal is for students to understand that climate change has various personal impacts depending on place.

lives and how it affects people around the world.
3. What was your homework? What have we been discussing? (Collect videos if any)
Engage: Have students volunteer to read their parent interview and show videos.
Does anyone have something the same or different?
Compare & Contrast experiences
Explore: Watch Video: When Climate Change gets PersonalHave students answer 3 Qs:
What is the problem? What is the solution? What ways has climate change affected you? What
ways will climate change affect you in the future?
Practice Vocab cards with a partner for 5 minutes.

Explain: JigSaw: Small group swapEach group member shares Case Study with another
group.
Whole Group: Case Study review and Compare and Contrast Chart
Elaborate: Read the solutions section in your Case Study. What solution do you think you
could participate in? How?
Conclusion: Climate change affects people differently as we see in our interviews and personal
stories because it affects regions differentlyclimate change is not necessarily uniform.
Evaluate: Homework: Case Study Qs 1 and 2

Extension Activity: Interpret the data. Turn student interview responses about climate change
into data about weather patterns and temperature changes (graphs and charts). Have the students
interpret the data about their class and what it means.
