RE-REPRESENTING A CLIMATE CHANGE STORY

The document outlines an educational activity where students engage with 90-second radio stories about climate change to learn about its causes, impacts, and solutions. Students are tasked with selecting a story, answering comprehension questions, and then re-representing the information via a poster, brochure, comic strip, or piece of art. The guide emphasizes that science storytelling differs from fiction because it is used as a tool to present observed and measured facts in an accessible manner.

• Science storytelling is distinguished from other forms of storytelling, such as novels or fairytales, because it is used to present observed and measured facts to an audience in an accessible way rather than inventing narratives.
• The educational activity encourages students to engage deeply with climate change communication by selecting a radio story and re-representing it through creative formats such as comic strips, brochures, posters, or art.
• Yale Climate Connections produces 90-second radio stories that link climate change to relatable topics including food, health, and arts and culture.
