Global warming poster

The topic of the environment is of regular appearance in the English classes and in English exams at intermediate levels. Most students dislike the topic, especially in exams, because they find it difficult to talk or write about it in a structured way. They know a lot of information about the subject but somehow they are lacking in the ability to adapt their theoretical knowledge of the topic to their English level.

A few weeks ago I came across this poster on Global Warming from Early Learning and I was surprised by its sheer simplicity and thought it might be really helpful for exam classes to prepare the topic of the environment.

By clicking on the picture below you should be able to download the poster in an A-4 pdf. As I am writing this post I am not fully aware whether you need to be registered on the site to do so.

Self-study activity:
Read the information in the poster and then explain global warming and its effects in your own words.

As we are dealing with the topic of the environment here, if you want to gain some more insight into the topic, why don't you drop by this The Science Musuem interactive which Larry Ferlazzo informed about in late December?

The Science Musuem poses a number of questions related to the climate like What's a carbon footprint?, What's the difference between weather and climate? How is climate change predicted? Could the world emit less carbond dioxide? and many more. The great thing about the interactive is that each of the questions is answered in a short video with subtitles available. Great resource for English learners and for those students interested in science and in environmental issues.
