Who's the Best Student?Imagine yourself as a teacher and that the following three students are in your class. Each of the assessments that the students took were identical so that they could assess not only student proficiency but improvement as well. Student A received grades of 80%, 80% and 80% for this marking period. Student B received grades of 60%, 70% and 100% for this marking period. Student C received grades of 0%, 20%, and 60% for the marking period. Now that you are at the end of the marking period, which student should get the best grade? Please explain your choice on Google Classroom. COP 27Report Card on Climate ChangeThe world has tried repeatedly to address climate change but how have they done to this point?
I would like you to imagine the following climate agreements are students.
Please also imagine that each of them have three teachers, one for each of the Climate Change Policy Options. How would each of the policies/teachers grade the agreements/students? Please fill out a report card for each with a comment that explains the grade. Try and write the comments in the voice of a teacher. Your to-do list

Food fight
Imagine the following scenario.
There a massive food fight in the cafeteria and no one escapes unscathed. The question before you is who should be held responsible. Consider the following factors as you make your decision.
It is up to you to decide who should be held accountable. As you look at the evidence, what will you look for to determine who should be held responsible. Please respond to this question on Google Classroom. Climate Change Policy Options
Now that we know that we can have an impact for good on the planet, we are going examine three different policy options for addressing climate change: Past Emitters Must Pay, Responsibility Must be Shared by All, and Economic Growth and Development Must Come First. Please complete the graphic organizer on these options. As you do, think about which option you think is best.

You may only blame one party, a person or a group is fine, but you may not choose more than one. Who is to blame?There are many factors and players involved in climate change. Today we will begin to determine who is responsible. Our investigation will focus on five specific players
Your first step is to research the accused parties. As you conduct your research, think about who you feel carries most of the blame for climate change. Please rank the players in order and provide a brief explanation for each as to why they are ranked where they are.
