Lesson Summary
In this lesson, students will be immersed in, and connect with, the documentary film 2040, focusing on the topic of climate change. Students are introduced to this lesson by participating in a guided discussion around a clip from 2040. They then explore how actions for climate change can be categorised as either carbon reduction actions or carbon sequestration actions, before looking at examples of each from the 2040 documentary.
Students are then introduced to a range of natural solutions to climate change. They work collaboratively to research, read, analyse and reflect on one or more articles about natural solutions to climate change, before conducting a SWOT analysis of these solutions and engaging in a class discussion around their analysis.
