Climate Change (What We Can Do About It)

The students were given a little homework two weeks ago.  They were asked to answer 2 questions:
1.  What is a protest?
2.  Why are students from all over the world protesting on September 27th, 2019?

The next day, the students in our class listened to an impassioned speech by Greta Thunberg and we discussed climate change.  They realize climate change (global warming) is taking place at a rate much faster than plants and animals (including people) can adapt.  Most importantly, we talked about what we can do about it.  The students created a display for our library so that all students of Brooksbank can see it and hopefully make changes to reduce the effects of climate change.
