Exploring
- Ss watch the next video to complement the previous activity:

- Ss see the reality and find out if any of their concerns on their lists have to do with the ones on the video.
- In the same groups Ss were before, they discuss what they know or think we are doing to address this situation.

Constructing
Ss decide which of these videos to watch and they can watch them either on their smartphones or as a
group if they don’t have access to the internet or smartphones.
A plastic ocean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zrn4-FfbXw
Mission Blue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1wp2MQCsfQ
Run for the oceans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDTi91q8WIM
· T asks Ss to think about what is happening in the oceans right now and what will happen in the future.
· In pairs, Ss write down 5 questions in their notebooks about the video(s) thinking about what will happen based on the actions shown in them, e.g.
- According to Sylvia Earle, if we don’t take an action now, our planet will disappear. How long will this action take?
- Based on Mission Blue, what are we eating?

Practicing
How are our free time activities changing because of the world current situation?
· According to the activities shown in the videos, how are free time activities changing for social
impact?
· Ss socialize and describe how the different activities have changed, e.g. running is not just for
exercising, but for raising money to clean the oceans from plastic.
· Ss write their ideas on the wall talkers and then the class analyzes how similar or different they are.

Extending
· Ss work in groups of 2 or 3.
· Ss think about possible leisure activities which can be used to raise money as the ones on the video(s).
· Ss make a poster to show their ideas including how to do it, where it could take place, how doable it could be,
and what impact it will have in the future.

Wrapping-up
· Ss place the posters around the classroom and the class goes around seeing and thinking if the activities proposed can have the impact stated or maybe different ones.
· Homework: Ss start collecting clean plastic waste and taking notes about how much they dispose on a week.
