Pause and notice
Goal 1: Connect prior learning to new ideas.
1. Reflect on causes and effects of climate change.
Before proceeding to Climate Change Solutions, revisit and review (1) your definition of
climate change, (2) established causes and effects of climate change at both local and
global levels, and (3) personal connections to climate change. Use your Class Climate
Action Box/Digital Board for reference.
2. Draw lines of global connections.
Return to the The Ultimate List of Causes of Climate Change, the Global Map of
Climate Change Effects, and your virtual exchange experience. Consider the lines of
connection (to both ideas and people) you are creating. Add in any new connections to
your box (side 3).
Explore possibilities
Goal 2: Build ideas through interactions.
1. Before moving to the building phase, students should request feedback on their plan.
Students can request feedback from:
● Classmate
● Teacher/administrator
● Community member
● Trusted expert from the field
2. Students should be specific on what parts of the plan on which they would like
feedback.
3. Students should consider how feedback can be recorded (written, video, interview).
4. Students should always offer a form of appreciation for feedback (verbal thanks,
written note, video message, etc).
In person learning: When requesting feedback, interactions should always
be with a member of the school community or with a trusted family
member. If feedback is requested from an expert/stranger, a teacher or
family member should be present.
Distance learning: When requesting feedback, interactions should always

be with a member of the school community or with a trusted family
member. If feedback is requested from an expert/stranger, a teacher or
family member should be present on a videocall or phone call.
4. Make any edits or revisions to your plan based on feedback. The final roadmap plan
will now take you into the build phase.
Extension: Take your completed Class Climate Action Box or Digital Board and
present your ideas (from causes to effects to solutions to your own
“out-of-the-box” ideas) to others to inform them about climate change and your
own actions
Design with optimism
Goal 3: Build a plan for action.
Build Phase. Students should use this time to build out their solutions to present in Week
6 during the Action Phase. Remember, actions will look different from class to class and
can include campaigns, experiences, inventions, or any other ideas that are relevant and
meaningful to your students.
