Earth Hour - News Makers of the Future (Part 2)

Students are asked to imagine themselves as the news makers of the future. They will work in groups or as a class to prepare a news piece from 10 years in the future that describes how they took action for climate change and the positive change this made after 10 years. Students are guided through the process of developing an idea, writing an article or script, creating additional materials (such as images) in support of their news piece, and sharing and receiving feedback on their news piece.

Essential questions:

• What actions can we do now to help limit climate change?
• How can we communicate messages about climate change action?
• What steps are involved in creating a news piece? How can we create a news piece to share messages about climate change action?
• What will the news of the future be? How can we be the future news makers?
