LO: I can produce a fact file of information about Greta Thunberg's achievements, and assess why she has been inspirational.

Yesterday, I asked you to read about the Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. In 2019, she became known all around the world for her passionate speeches about the environment and sustainable development. Today, I would like you to learn more about this young Scandinavian, and to produce a fact file about her achievements. In your fact file, try to answer the following questions:

• How old is Greta and where is she from?
• What inspired Greta to 'strike' for climate change?
• What happened as a result of her protests?
• Greta has made many important speeches. Can you name where she has made some of these speeches?
• What makes her speeches effective? Why do people stop and listen to her?
• Does she inspire you? In what way?

Please send your FACT FILE to MRS CALZADA (Greta Fact File)
