December Week One

We extended last week's climate change conversation to talking about different global negotiations about solutions.  We took different perspectives, from developed countries, to emerging countries, to developing countries.

Listening:
Learners can start with something easy about taking action.  Or try an ESL video that is a higher level examining what could really happen.

For original version try a video by Bill Nye about Climate Change or any of the TED Talks that are out there about the topic.

Reading:
Learners can head over to VOA English for several articles about this threat: Suicides caused by Climate Change, or about the world's longest living trees being crowded about by climate change.

For original version try any of the articles over at the NYTimes about Climate Change.

Writing;
This week I'd like you to try writing a report about possible solutions to combat this potential calamity. Start with an introduction, then explain possible measures that could be taken by developed, emerging and developing countries, then finish up with a conclusion.
Best,
Kelly
