This Prezi presentation is linked to the curated resources and tools from the Classroom Law Project.
Students read and analyze arguments focused on the climate crisis. They also read persuasive and informative texts to build knowledge and inform the construction of their own projects that employ elements of argumentation.
Standards: CCSS: RI.9-10.1, RI.9-10.2, RI.9-10.6, RI.9-10.8; SL.9-10.1B; WHST.9-10.1B, WHST.9-10.2A

In 1959, physicist Edward Teller told the American Petroleum Institute (API) that a 10% increase in CO2 will be sufficient to melt the icecap and submerge New York.
“I think that this chemical contamination is more serious than most people tend to believe.”
Do you think the world or your state/province, city, family, or self have done enough to prevent the climate crisis?
Share your thoughts.
In this lesson, we will look at the following essential questions from the Classroom Law Project.
How do we concisely explain the climate crisis and the youth activism around it to someone who may not understand it?
ESSENTIAL
What are the top three actions you believe governments should take to address the climate crisis?
ENGAGING
The unit will conclude with you engaging in a project in which you take a stand in a particular aspect of the climate crisis.
You and your team will decide on a way to make people more aware of climate change.
How they become engaged is up to you.
But before we begin, we will look at what others have done to bring awareness to the climate crisis.
Read over "15 Youth Climate Activists that You Should Follow on Social Media."
https://www.earthday.org/2019/06/14/15-youth-climate-activists-you-should-be-following-on-social-media/
Choose one or two of the activists you’d like to follow on social media.
Make four columns and label as:
Self or Others
Purpose
What Was Posted
Date
(surmise why you think they posted this content)
(was it about themselves or something else)
In your notebook, reserve a couple pages where you track the postings of one activist.
Each day, you should track posts.
We will now take a look at effective uses of language as we prepare to communicate your own visions and method for speaking out.
Probably the most well-known youth activist is Greta Thunberg. She recently sailed across the Atlantic from her home in Sweden to New York City to address the UN.
We are now going to study her speech and its effectiveness.
Read the speech in pairs.

What are her main points?
What parts confuse you?
What parts of the speech might be improved?
What are the speech’s highlights?
What is your reaction to the speech and her delivery?
Do you think the speech is effective? And if so, why?
Now, let’s take a look at Jansikwe Medina-Tayac, who delivered a speech at a Climate Crisis rally.
What are her main points?
What are the speech’s highlights?
What parts confuse you.
What parts of the speech might be improved?
How does the speech compare to Greta’s?

The Elements of Argumentation
Given what we have seen and read, what are the key elements to making a successful argument?
Share!
We will continue building our list!
The best arguments:
Are well-organized
Include claims and supporting evidence
Engage the audience through:
Logos - appeal to logic, means to convince an audience by the use of logic or reason
Pathos - the emotional appeal, means to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions
Ethos - ethical appeal, means to convince an audience of the author's credibility or character
Read the two op-eds alone or with a partner. As you read, highlight as follows:

Half a Century on Dither and Denial
Let’s take a look at the climate crisis across time.
As you read through the timeline in your team, what do you notice and what do you wonder for each of the time periods?

Now we will read and analyze key UN documents about the climate crisis. We will jigsaw the various Articles in The Paris Agreement and review its details and purpose via a graffiti wall. Groups will report out a simple and engaging summary of their section in two minutes. Your report must answer:
What does your article cover?
What are 1-3 keywords that describe it?
What did you illustrate?
The Paris Agreement
(available in multiple languages)
United Nations

Remember our essential questions?
How do we concisely explain the climate crisis and the youth activism to someone who may not understand it?
What are the top three actions you believe governments should take to address the climate crisis?
Figure how to you’ll want to make people aware and potentially change their behaviors regarding climate change using media, preferably with Prezi or Prezi Video.
Think outside of the box. Wow the class.
Include a way to simply explain climate change to someone who may not know a lot about the issue.
Include a way to showcase your researched argument with claims supported by evidence.
Include a way to showcase your researched argument with claims supported by evidence.
Here are some examples:
Produce a Prezi presentation that illustrates your argument.
Organize a community conference where you present and have speakers.
Create a Prezi video and share it on social media.
Create a video game or video game spec.
Develop an app with a developer’s statement.
Organize an art installation or mural with artist statements.
Organize and speak at a rally.
As part of your project, you will need resources to pull from in order to sharpen your idea.
Creating an informed argument is essential to being heard. Choose three of the following articles to read, and then find another three to add to our knowledge base. Use the News Article Analysis Graphic Organization found on this page under Downloads.
