I am an English Language teacher in Turkey. I have run several projects on environment and recycling. I would like to improve my knowledge on climate change and contribute to my students. I have also integrated the climate change and education into my classes to raise awareness in the students. I have made up a classroom with 18 students who are eager to participate in this project for saving our planet,taking action and making an impact !

1st week- Climate Change and its causes

I elicited what they knew about climate and weather change through padlet. Then, they made independent search on the internet and shared facts on climate and weather change. They also searched about the causes for the climate change and especially they focuses on personal contributions. Then, each of them shot a video stating their ideas about the most cruical cause. After that, they made a long list of causes on padlet.
