SecondaryYear 7 - 10EnglishScienceEnvironmentalConservationDisaster resilience
Lesson Summary
This lesson is designed to be completed independently by students.
Students will begin with reflective writing using two quotes as a stimulus. They will then read through an article and answer comprehension questions to determine their understanding. Following this, students will reflect on information in the article to develop their own set of questions and will work through activities to ensure that their questions are written as conceptual, open-ended questions. Next, they will choose one open-ended question to research and they will then write a letter to a person of their choice to explain their question and their research findings.
