High Schools: Still time to send Ecards to the Children's Climate Forum in Copenhagen

High School teachers, it is
not too late for your students to have a voice in the upcoming climate change
negotiations in Copenhagen!
Set aside some class time between now and November 23rd
so that your students can create eCards with their messages about
climate change. Canada's team of youth delegates—featured here
in their winning video application to UNICEF's Get Reel on Climate
Competition—will take the eCards with them to the Children's Climate
Forum in Copenhagen. There, youth
from around the world will prepare a communiqué to present to world
leaders at
COP 15.
This unique climate change activity, designed
primarily for Grade 9 to 11 Science, Geography and Language Arts, can take as
much or as little class time as you'd like. On the eCards website, your students can explore current data and videos,
use the ask-an-expert feature, and answer online research questions. If your
class is already up-to-speed on climate change, however, you can bypass the
research phase and jump right into creating eCards. Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions about tailoring this
activity for your students.
