01 / UNDERSTAND

Here is what is happening.

Weather describes short-term conditions. Climate describes longer-term patterns and variation for a region. One unusually cold or hot day cannot alone establish or disprove a long-term trend. Compare records with consistent methods and describe the time period before making a claim.

Pause. Make the idea your own.

Explain one idea to a partner, draw it or write it in your own words. Which part is an observation, an example or a question?

You can use a home language. No need to share personal experiences or finish everything in one sitting.
02 / MAKE IT YOUR OWN
