Earth Hour - Choosing Your Climate Future

Through a visual storytelling exercise, students explore the future they would like to see. Students begin by responding to different images of the future, clarifying these responses in descriptive terms. They are then asked to explore the Choose Your Climate Future website to understand the impacts that climate change might have on Australia. Based upon this knowledge they create their own vision of the future, creating a visual diary of someone living in the future.

Essential questions:

• How are we affected by our environment?
• How do environmental and human processes affect places and environments?
• What are the consequences of changes to places and environments and how can these changes be managed?
• What is climate change and how will it affect our future?
• How can we affect our future?
