Sketchnote - Time to Build Your Independence

After hearing about the massive effects climate change is having on the Earth and watching and discussing causes and effects, you will now have the opportunity to take notes independently by creating a "Sketchnote" or by using another note taking method you may find helpful.  We are doing this to practice this skill of gaining and synthesizing new information while comparing it to our prior knowledge.  This is a skill set you need  in order to be good problem solver, critical thinker and change maker.

So far you have done a wonderful job synthesizing the National Geographic/Bill Nye video in your very own "Sketchnote".  (The video is here below in case you'd like to check it our again or share it with others).





Today, we will check out a few more BrainPop videos and during this time, you will add to your new "Sketchnote".  You will be working in small groups to watch the videos (deciding when and where to pause the video) and take notes - all to gain a better understanding of the topic and to build your understanding.

Climate Change

Air Pollution

Fossil Fuels

Humans and the Environment

After watching all the videos, be sure to share your learning with each other by comparing and contrasting your "Sketchnotes".  You may find that your peers have included ideas you hadn't thought of and would like to add.

As well, be sure to check out your peers' work as inspiration here!
