Aim

1 Take back students stories to check it up.

2  You will need copies of the KWL charts (KWL is the abbreviation for Know/Want to know/Learned) for this activity like this one on the ReadWriteThink website: http://www.readwritethink.org/classroomresources/printouts/chart-a-30226.html.

Hand out the KWL charts. Ask students to fill the table (columns 1,2 – what they know, what  they want to know) and to write down one or two statements that represent what they already know about global warming.

3 Show them the before-and-after pictures. Every time they see a picture, ask them to write down one word which describes how they feel about it.

• Then write in the middle of your board in a cloudshaped speech bubble the expression ‘What if ...?’.

• Ask your students to share the words they wrote down during the picture task. Write these on the board.

4 Remind your students of any differences in meaning when the modal perfect form is used. For example, ‘must + present infinitive’ often expresses obligation or duty, e.g. ‘You must eat your yoghurt’, but we use ‘must + perfect infinitive’ to express certainty or make a logical assumption about a past action, e.g. ‘He must have come while we were out’. Similarly, ‘should + present infinitive’ is used for recommendation or advice, e.g. ‘You should be more careful’, whereas ‘should + perfect infinitive’ is often used to express criticism and annoyance, e.g. ‘You should have asked how much it was’.

Then ask students to make “Onion rings” using in the inner ring their own questions about the environmental protection  with the modals  ‘could’, ‘should’, ‘would’ and ‘must’ along with their modal perfect equivalents ‘could have’, ‘should have’, ‘would have’ and ‘must have’.

5 Let students to continue filling in the table KWL (3^rd column) about what they have learned.
