We are currently in the midst of both a biodiversity crisis and a climate crisis, with the 2022 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report stating we must act ‘now or never’. But, can one crisis be solved without the other, or are both interlinked? Your students will decide. Born Free’s Great Debate provides teachers with the tools to engage their students in meaningful debates about key wildlife or environmental topics. Through this topic, students will have the opportunity to delve deeper into the issue of climate change, and decide whether we need to harness the power of nature in order to reduce, or even adapt, to its impact. Students will not only gain knowledge about the this topic, but also skills that will help them to research, frame and deliver an argument. Armed with these skills, young people are more equipped to take action to reduce their impact on the environment, and to encourage others to follow. Lesson one – Causes & Impacts Recap the causes and impacts of climate change, and examine the significance of 1.5°C. Lesson two – Climate Change & Wildlife Discover how wildlife helps us to mitigate against the impacts of climate change. Lesson three/ Homework – Research Research and frame opposing sides of the debate. Lesson four – The Great Debate Participate, listen and learn through a formal debate. Lesson five – Action Planning Identify calls to action and create a campaign to bring about local change.

Une courte unité de travail destinée aux élèves du primaire, ou aux élèves plus âgés apprenant le français langue étrangère, sur des animaux sauvages se produisant dans des cirques. Chaque leçon doit durer une heure, bien qu’il existe de nombreuses possibilités de raccourcir ou d’allonger les activités. Ce sujet a de nombreux liens transversaux, avec des liens étroits avec les programmes britanniques de science, de géographie, de SMSC et de citoyenneté. Leçon 1. Adaptations animales Décrire comment différents organismes sont adaptés à leur environnement Expliquer pourquoi les organismes réussissent le mieux dans leur propre environnement naturel Leçon 2. Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre Pour comparer la vie d’un tigre dans la nature avec celle d’un cirque Rédiger une entrée de journal intitulée «Une journée dans la vie d’un tigre». Leçon 3. Faut-il interdire tous les animaux sauvages des cirques? Comprendre les arguments pour et contre l’interdiction des animaux sauvages dans les cirques Se forger une opinion Ecrire une lettre convaincante. Le contexte: Dans le monde entier, des milliers d’animaux sauvages sont utilisés dans les cirques et forcés d’effectuer des tours humiliants et contre nature pour divertir le public. Le bien-être des animaux domestiques et sauvages est souvent gravement compromis dans un environnement de cirque. Born Free travaille à travers le Royaume-Uni et l’Europe pour mettre fin à l’utilisation d’animaux sauvages dans les cirques et soutient les partenaires de la campagne internationale dans leurs efforts. Dans la mesure du possible, Born Free sauve les animaux des conditions épouvantables des cirques. Au fil des ans, nous avons sauvé et accueilli plusieurs grands félins de cirques en France, en Bulgarie, en Italie et en Allemagne. Nous leur fournissons des soins à vie de haut niveau dans des sanctuaires. Cependant, ce sont les plus chanceux. Si vous trouvez ces ressources utiles, veuillez laisser un commentaire.

About the project This project will explore the tribal culture of the Penan people of Malaysian Borneo and visit the critically endangered Bornean Orangutan – taking you on a journey to discover your own connection to the forest, through art. Through the project, we will be connecting children, using art and technology, with tribal culture as well as the plants and animals that live in the rainforest. By meeting the rainforest, John hopes that this will create a personal connection and bond to the rainforest and generate amazing pieces of art, along with lots of questions which can be answered by John himself as part of the live video broadcasts. John will be posting blogs and video diaries live from Borneo from 6th-18th September 2019 (but questions can be submitted during any lesson, at any time and videos will be uploaded in HD on his return). About John Dyer John Dyer is an English contemporary painter, focusing on colourful landscapes, architecture, gardens and notable events, especially in Cornwall. His naïve style makes his work accessible to all ages. About these resources These resources are designed for Key Stage 2 but they can easily be adapted for all Key Stages.
