From the author
This climate-change and global-warming packet combines informational reading, paired-text responses, vocabulary practice, a Greta Thunberg biography, writing and art activities. Choose pages that match learners’ reading levels.
The 51-page PDF includes coded-message and color-by-number answer material. The ice demonstrations need materials prepared and water frozen overnight; they are not no-prep activities.

Learning objectives
Explain what climate change and global warming are and how they are related
Identify human activities that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions

Teaching tips
Teach the two opening passages before any of the vocabulary games, since the games assume familiarity with terms like drought and greenhouse gases
Use the two freezer demonstrations as a hands-on hook, since they require materials to be frozen a day in advance
Pair the Greta Thunberg biography with the letter-writing activity to connect the vocabulary to a real-world example of student advocacy
