Big Idea: Relationships support success
Essential Question: How do countries make decisions? What does knowing my learning style teach me about myself as a learner?
Objectives: I can...
...share my opinion.
...gather information about carbon cap and trade systems.
...describe my learning style.
...find connections between my learning style and others.
...revise my notes.

1) Warm Up: Introduction to Climate Change (10 min)
This week, you and your classmates will gather data about carbon dioxide emissions in a variety of countries. On Friday, you will be challenged to develop a global carbon dioxide emission cap and trade agreement that will (hopefully) prevent (some) climate related disasters.

1. Set up a notesheet for today. EQ: How do countries make decisions? Topic: Climate Change, Carbon Dioxide Cap and Trade
2. Our Climate Change Continuum: Start in the middle of the classroom. If you would respond yes/true to the statement, move to the right. If you would respond no/false to the statement, move the left.



Carbon dioxide: A climate change culprit

1. Statement 1: Climate change occurs naturally.
2. Statement 2: The current climate changes observed are impacted by humans.
3. Statement 3: Climate scientists don't agree on whether or not humans are impacting climate change.
4. Statement 4: Politicians don't agree on whether or not humans are impacting climate change.
5. Statement 5: I would prefer to have a politician prescribe my antibiotics when I am sick rather than my doctor.
6. Statement 6: We need to act to reduce our impact on climate change.
7. Statement 7: Climate change is a lost cause. We're doomed.
3. Jot down Aha! moments and interesting facts from the continuum task.

2) Literacy Block: Carbon Dioxide Cap and Trade Game Preparation (30 min)

1. Key Terms Defined: Record the AKA definitions in your notes.
2. Climate vs Weather: As you watch the video, sketch a graph showing climate and weather.
3. Break into country groups and begin to complete your document.
1. Read/Skim "Deliberating in a Democracy: Global Climate Change" and fill in arguments for and against a cap and trade system.
2. Use the printed country profile and the infographic links for 2008 and 2014 to fill in your profile.
3. Determine if you think your country would agree to a cap and trade system or not.

Groups with Documents Linked:

1st Block	3rd Block	4th Block
United States (HT, IP) China (SF, CM) Saudi Arabia (Nickel) Venezuela (MM, HD) Germany (DP, NP) India (TP, CB, CK)	United States (BB, AC, CC) China (LL, TW, AU) Saudi Arabia (JP, IM, MS) Venezuela (IC, AE, SB) Germany (DL, SS, CB, MC) India (JS, KP, J L-H, JH)	United States (AO, EW, KRJ) China (JM, JF, DA) Saudi Arabia (Y(J)M, KP) Venezuela (CC, GM, SC) Germany (RD, SL, SK) India (AS, RS, IB)

3) Lesson Plan: Learning Styles Continued

1. Revisit your VARK results from yesterday and complete the table on the back of your note sheet. (Go to the drop down menu labeled "Questionnaire" at this link.)
2. Find 2-4 other people with the same or similar learning style.
   
3. Create a poster like the sample to the right.
1. Helpful Resources:
1. Gardner-Webb's tip sheet
2. College of Charleston tip sheet
4. Circulate the room and label activities that will help you with the letter for your learning style (For example, if you are a visual learner and the kinesthetic group puts that drawing a diagram will help them, put a V next to that if you think it will help you too.)

4) Success Workshop and Closure: Note Revision Competition

1. Take out your notebooks for all classes.
2. Write summaries and HOT questions for as many sets of notes as possible.
3. Score your work.
1. HOT Questions = 1 pt each
2. Summaries that are at least 3 sentences = 2 pts each
4. Winner earns a prize!
