Climate Change Impacts

Cloze texts like the one created offer an engaging way for students aged 12 to 16 to learn about complex topics such as global climate change and its relevance in atmospheric sciences. This teaching method encourages active reading and comprehension, as students must think critically about the text to fill in the blanks with appropriate terms. The selection of terms to be filled in has been carefully chosen to highlight key concepts and vocabulary related to climate change, making the exercise not only an assessment of reading comprehension but also a reinforcement of scientific literacy. Moreover, by focusing on semantically important terms, students are prompted to understand the context in which these terms are used, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter. This approach is particularly beneficial in the exploration of climate change, a topic with significant social, economic, and environmental implications. It offers an accessible entry point into the complex interrelations of atmospheric sciences, human activity, and environmental impact, encouraging further inquiry and discussion. Utilizing this cloze text in various teaching phases—from introduction to consolidation—can facilitate a multidimensional learning experience that builds knowledge progressively and inclusively.
