To begin, students share memories related to climate and ask their grandparents about changes to the climate they have noticed in their lifetimes. After screening the film, elicit student responses, with the help of the following questions: Have you personally observed changes? What are the consequences of climate change for the planet? What will our legacy to future generations be? What changes can we make in our daily lives to slow down warming trends?
