Antarctica vs the Arctic

Start here - with a short video presenting briefly a content of this lesson - I believe that the content should be as transparent as it can be ( I wouldn’t like to sell you anything you don’t need), therefore, I have prepared a short video presenting the content of this lesson. Please, give it thumbs up if you think this is a good idea.

A topic of this lesson is: Antarctica vs the Arctic, and it’s ideal for teenagers (KS3)
It consists of:

• PPP
• A Ted Talk video
• Worksheets adjusted to the abilities of students. ( A basic level is suited for EAL learners)
• A poster showing differences between Antarctica vs the Arctic that serves as a starter point for a pair activity
• A lesson plan - if you need one for your formal observation
• I used this lesson either as part of the scheme of work or as a good start of the topic about Cold environments.
