Recap of last lesson: renewables in the community. Whole-block review.
Name a renewable source and what it makes.
If you could add one renewable source to our school, what would it be and why?
Set the task: a short proposal we could show the head teacher.
A good proposal makes a claim (what to add), gives evidence (from this block) and a reason (why it helps). Opinions like "it looks cool" aren't enough.
Pick one: solar panels or a wind turbine for our school.
Choose one, and give a reason using what we've learned.
What evidence would convince the head teacher to say yes?
Teacher models a strong reason vs a weak one, then watch to gather ideas.
Swap the clip: change the ID after /embed/ (now VqVhL3PDUng).
Draft a class proposal together.
"We propose solar panels on the hall roof, because they make clean electricity from free sunlight and cut our greenhouse gases."
Play the animation. Picture the finished proposal.
Our school with new solar panels and a small wind turbine — the plan we're proposing.
Remember: a reason must be backed by evidence — "because it cuts greenhouse gases", not "because I like it".
Judge reasons together: strong, weak, or not relevant.
On your own. Sort the reasons, then write and present your proposal.
Tap a card to sort it…
Sort the cards, then finish: We propose ____ for our school.
Sort them, then write a proposal with a claim and one strong reason.
Write a proposal with a claim and two strong, evidence-based reasons, ready to present.
Answer at your tier, then hand it in. End of the block.
Sum up why our school should use renewable energy, using evidence from the block.
