Very Interesting Online Material for October

My birthday is on Oct 24th . I have always considered that date important... not only because it is my birthday but also because it is the anniversary of the United Nations. But now I have another reason to celebrate: 350 What is 350? 350.org is an international campaign dedicated to building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis--the solutions that science and justice demand. Their mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate crisis. The website is translated into different languages, so it may be a very interesting source of inspiration to develop a lesson plan to make our students work with the net. Let's share: If you read this post and make a lesson plan using 350.org website , you are invited to send it to me by mail. I will upload it here.
