  PowerPoint file. Give them a title.
• Do a bit of background research (websites
  provided) and identify
• What will these shifts in the climate mean for
  life in the future at your location?
• What sorts of things should we be doing now to
  try to minimise this degree of climate change?
• - Put your ideas onto further slides.
• Total presentation
• Minimum 8 slides Maximum 12 slides

22

• Next lesson
• You will be presenting your work to the class.
  You may work on your own or in a pair. You will
  be assessed on
• The content of your PowerPoint slide show have
  you covered all the points you were asked about?
• How much effort have you gone to, researching the
  implications of your climate forecast?
• Originality addition of a few eye catching
  features to your slide show
• How well organised are you did you get your
