Storymap - Climate Migrants
Conduct a hands-on activity with the help of a storymap and an associated worksheet to help students to learn about countries and cities that are becoming uninhabitable because of the effects of climate change, and communities that are being forced to leave their homes and migrate to new locations. Facilitate a detailed exploration and discussion of the responses to the questions in the worksheet, with the help of the storymap tool.
- Now, explore the topic in more detail through mapmaking and visualization techniques by using the storymap tool, 'Climate Migrants', and an associated activity worksheet, 'Climate Migrants'.
