TASK PLANNING:

We started the week by watching the movie Wall-E in class to reflect on how human behavior affects our planet.

After watching the film, students searched for the definition of climate change and discussed its main causes and consequences.

Together, we compared different definitions and summarized the most important ideas.

Students shared their conclusions with their classmates and connected these ideas to the message of the movie.

Finally, we shared our class reflections on the Climate Action Project platform to inspire other schools around the world.

ACTIVITY RESULT:

In Week 1, we will focus on the definition of climate change and its causes. The goal is for you and your students to explore what climate change is and how it happens. To achieve this, we started by watching the movie Wall-E in class to reflect on the impact humans have on the planet. After the film, students researched the definition and causes of climate change and discussed their findings together. This activity helped them connect the movie’s message with real-world environmental issues and better understand the concept of climate change.
