Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Greta Thunberg in a fun, fresh, and engaging way! Through this activity, students will explore Thunberg’s global impact as a climate activist, her leadership in the youth environmental movement, and her powerful advocacy for climate action. As they work together, they’ll also strengthen their teamwork and communication skills while contributing to one unified final product.
This biography research activity is an excellent addition to science lessons, environmental studies, social justice units, or discussions about civic engagement. Students will connect Thunberg’s activism, courage, and determination to broader themes of responsibility, global awareness, and speaking up for change.
Students will begin by researching Greta Thunberg and gathering information about her background, accomplishments, and influence on climate policy and public awareness. They’ll then record their findings in the designated sections on the poster before working together to color or paint and assemble the final display. Once completed, the six-piece poster can be printed on regular paper or cardstock and will measure approximately 28" x 15" when taped together. For long-lasting classroom use, you can laminate the finished product!
This resource includes student directions, a project rubric, and a brainstorm graphic organizer. It also includes six blank coloring pages that come together to form one cohesive poster, a Greta Thunberg answer key, an example of the final project colored, and a digitally colored example to guide and inspire your students.
