Tree Planting Challenge A2 – Activity 5

Aim of Activity

15 - 30 minutes

To develop digital and communication skills.

Steps for Students

  1. Watch a video to learn more about carbon footprint. 
  2. Get into small teams and discuss ways to reduce your carbon footprint. 
  3. Share your ideas on your padlet board: ACTIVITY 5
  4. Read your posts aloud and discuss your ideas with the class. 

OR: 

  1. Watch a video to learn more about carbon footprint. 
  2. Go and talk to at least four different people. Tell each one of them how you think you could minimise your carbon footprint and then listen to their own opinion on this subject. 
  3. Think about what you have learned and prepare your own padlet post explaining how people can minimize their carbon footprint.
  4. Read your posts aloud and discuss your ideas with the class.
  1. Go to: ACTIVITY 5
  2. Start by showing the video about carbon footprint available on the padlet to your students. Make sure they understand what it means.
  3. Have them discuss in pairs or small groups how they can reduce their carbon footprint. They should share their ideas by publishing them on the padlet itself. To keep things organized, ask students to add their post to the column assigned to your school/class. You can create more columns if necessary. 

 

TIP!

Optional Step 2: Teams can discuss padlet answers published by other teams (or even other classes/schools) or you can do this activity together. 

Optional Step 3: Have each student share their ideas with as many other students as possible, as this can improve fluency. Then, ask each student to summarize their thoughts in an individual padlet post.
