The activities presented below will help you in the realization of your next mission.

Activity 1: About Earth day

For a start, watch the video entitled Earth Day and pay attention to some natural elements and ecological disasters. With your classmates, comment on the questions below.

  • Why do you think people celebrate Earth Day?
  • What activities can people do on this day?
  • What natural elements can you see on the video?
  • What environmental problems can you identify?

To answer these questions more efficiently, you can enter the IELSTS webpage and study environment-related vocabulary. Read and listen to vocabulary on natural elements and environmental issues on the video entitled planet Earth museum.

Activity 2: Creating a wordmap
  • Use the online tool Canva to create a wordmap with new vocabulary on the environment. Apart, write sentences containing this key vocabulary and hand them to your teacher for correction.
  • Publish your wordmap on the page entitled "My digital resources" of your Weebly site and share it with your classmates on Pinterest.
Activity 3: Talking about the Environment
  • With your teacher and classmates, suggest any possible answers for the following question:

What environmental problems will happen if people do not take care of the Earth?

  • Before answering, have a look at the britishcouncil.org site to revise the form and use of the future simple tense to predict future actions.
  • It is important that you practise future simple structures because you will use them in the following mission. 
  • With your classgroup, suggest ideas on how the students at your school can help the environment.
