TARGET IN ACTION

Spread the word about the importance of taking responsible production and consumption measures

1 To analyse the importance of responsible production and consumption measures, you can use the Compass or cardinal points thinking technique: E-O-N-S. Use the graphic organiser to consider each of the proposed ideas from different points of view. First, work on your own and then join the class for a group discussion about the final questions.

Need

Suggestions stance

E = Excitement/encouragement: What excites you about this idea or situation?

What positive aspects do you identify? What about it do you find encouraging?

O = Obstacle/cOncern: What obstacles or difficulties do you see in this idea or situation? What concerns do you have about it? What negative aspects do you identify?

N = Needs: What else do you need to know? What information do you need to better understand this topic?

S = Suggestions/stance: What is your stance or opinion on this idea or situation? What suggestions or actions would you take to improve the situation?

All the ideas that come up—both individually and as a group—will help you make a call on social media. You can use different tools to reach out to your community, such as posts with photos, videos, text, tweets, etc.

Think about this!

H ow did I learn?

1 Have you learned anything new? What images do you remember? What did you like most about what you learned? How is what you have learned useful? How will it help you in your everyday life?

2 Reflect on what you can improve in the future and expand your reflection to what your classmates can improve.

Do you think the world population is aware of the problem our current lifestyle poses and how it harms the environment?

Do you think that social media has the capacity to communicate to and educate a greater number of people? Do you think there is a better method to communicate your ideas?

Is it possible that we do not take the impact of our actions on the natural environment seriously enough and that we need to experience more drastic consequences to raise our awareness?
