We’re heating up!
Global warming is on the rise. What will happen if the world becomes too hot? The United Nations is holding a world wide summit to help answer that very question. Lucky you! You’ve been chosen to represent a country at the summit and present a presentation to the world’s delegates as to what will happen to your country if global warming continues.
In order to make a convincing argument, you’ll need to research what will change, and how it will change, about your country. You’ll need to touch base on topics like climate, crops, land area, animals and the people population. To do this, you’ll need to read the articles written by the famous scientist Griffin Boyle.
Your presentation must be very eye-catching and accurate to ensure a good response at the United Nations summit. The program Prezi is just what you are looking for!
The summit leaders will be rating your arguments on the following:
Do you have a complete list of things that will change about your country?
Do you list all the things that will change about your country accurately?
Did you work well with your research team (groups of 4-5)?
Is the presentation neatly put together?
Is the presentation ready on time?
You’ll be split into groups within your class. Your teacher will assign you a country to represent from the following list
France, Europe
Hungary, Europe
Argentina, South America
Chad, Africa
Mongolia, Asia
Japan, Asia
You will be graded on the following:
1. List of things that will change about your country is complete

2. What will change about your country is accurate
