Climate in the media

Resources required

The Internet and Web 2.0 technologies are included in this lesson plan series and Internet access is therefore necessary.

If the pupils do not have their own PC with Internet access, a big monitor, projector or interactive whiteboard would be a good idea. For films and interactive media: loudspeakers or headphones/headsets.

 

The basic activities of the series – preparation, etc.

This lesson plan series is not a lesson-based summary. This means that it is for the individual teacher to decide on the length of this series and to select the tasks and activities that are relevant. There is further inspiration under the item “literature and links”.
