You know global warming is real when your squirrel feeder is full of popped corn instead of kernels! Activity two in a series of five allows learners to explore climate change through the eyes of another. After briefly analyzing their own lives, pupils take on the role of someone else around the world and determine how climate change will affect them, how it will affect their partners, and together determine some solutions for the increasing problem.
