Make The Right Choice
[The
Print Media stand united to speak about a current issue that affects the whole
world]
Monday,
December 7, 2009
Today 56 newspapers in
45 countries take the
unprecedented step of speaking with one voice
through a common editorial. We do so because humanity faces a profound emergency. Unless we combine to
take decisive action, climate change will ravage our planet
and with it our prosperity and security. The dangers are apparent for
our generation. Now the facts have started
to speak: the Arctic ice-cap is
melting and last year’s inflamed oil and food prices provide
a foretaste of future havoc. In scientific journals the question is no longer whether humans are to blame, but how little time we
have got left to limit the damage. So far, the world’s response has been feeble
and half-hearted.
We call on the representatives of the 192 countries
gathered in Copenhagen not to hesitate, not to fall into dispute, not to blame
each other but to seize opportunity from the greatest modern failure of politics.
This should not be a fight between the rich world and the poor world, or
between east and west. Climate change affects everyone and must be solved by
everyone. The science is complex but the facts are clear. The world needs to
take steps to limit temperature rise. Even a small increase would parch
continents turning farmland into desert. Half of all species could become
extinct, untold millions of people would be displaced, whole nations drowned by
the sea. [Standard

2.
Develop a Lesson Plan to teach the
following poem to the pupils of Standard VIII
The Bat
By
day the bat is cousin to the mouse.
He
likes the attic of an aging house.
His
fingers make a hat about his head.
His
pulse beat is so slow we think him dead.
He
loops in crazy figures half the night
Among the trees
that face the corner light.
But when he brushes up against
a screen,
We
are afraid of what our eyes have seen:
For
something is amiss or out of place
When
mice with wings can wear a human face.-
Theodore Roethke
