Miles Morales is a young teenager and a Brooklyn native. He's a bright kid who's been thrust into a new school and is having a hard time adjusting to this new environment. But he's having an even harder time adjusting to his entirely new and unexpected life as a Spider-Man. With the help of some surprising new friends, Miles learns to unlock the hero inside himself.

In this next chapter of the Spider-Verse saga, after reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.

The film was released in the United States on June 2, 2023. For the world, 22 June 2023. However, here in Portugal, the Marvel animation is already at the theaters.

Education: The Narrative

That's we are! The narrative text across a Marvel comics. Wow! Here another Marvel saga to teach and learn the narrative. Please visit my publications about the narrative text.

Synopsis:

Miles Morales returns for the next chapter of the Oscar®-winning Spider-Verse saga, an epic adventure that will transport Brooklyn’s full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man across the Multiverse to join forces with Gwen Stacy and a new team of Spider-People to face off with a villain more powerful than anything they have ever encountered.

Students can easily follow the narrative, generic structure, characters, action, grammar, and vocabulary.

Go to the theater with your students if you are teaching comics in the Narrative study. 

I think it's a awesome introduction to my review of the most read posts of May. Right?

Here are the most read posts of May:

World Press Freedom Day 2023 : Shaping a Future of Rights ... resources & activities

Schools : Women in Science, Rachel Louise Carson, the marine biologist & 1st ecologist !

 

Schools : Let's talk about Biodiversity : #BuildBackBiodiversity ! Resources & Activities

Summer is coming! Oh! So nice! The weather is warmer, the Spring brought the flowers, and green trees for everywhere. Birds are happy! And we are happy as well!

My usual readers know that blogging is my free contribution to inspire new and young teachers, sharing some resources and activities no matter the subject, when I have the time between work.

Hope you enjoyed my pedagogical proposals published last April. May be you included some of them in your lessons? I'm happy!

Hope you  have a great week!

@UNEP

“On the International Day for Biological Diversity, we reflect on our relationship with humanity’s life-support system, from the air we breathe and the food we eat, to the energy that fuels us and the medicines that heal us, our lives are wholly dependent on healthy ecosystems,”

UN Secretary-General António Guterres

While there is a growing recognition that biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to future generations, the number of species is being significantly reduced by certain human activities from illegal logging to poaching wildlife.

Convention on Biological Diversity

https://www.cbd.int/

Biological diversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms, but it also includes genetic differences within each species.

In a delicate balance, biodiversity reflects differences between varieties of crops and breeds of livestock as well as the variety of such ecosystems as lakes, forests, deserts, and agricultural landscapes, that host myriad interactions among their human, plant, and animal guests.

But, the loss of biodiversity threatens all, including health. It has been proven that biodiversity loss could expand zoonoses – diseases transmitted from animals to humans. Keeping biodiversity intact offers excellent tools to fight against pandemics like those caused by coronaviruses.

• Theme 2023:

"Moving from talk to action: build back biodiversity."

From towering forests to the depths of the sea, Countless species reside, each vital to keep. But human actions have taken a toll, Once-thriving habitats, degrading and frail. #BuildBackBiodiversity, our duty, our mission, Revive nature, a critical ambition. The time is now, to heed the urgent call, Reverse biodiversity loss, for humanity’s survival.

• Did you know?

🌳 Current negative trends in biodiversity and ecosystems will undermine progress towards 80 per cent of the assessed targets of eight Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

🌳 Three quarters of the land-based environment and about 66 per cent of the marine environment have been significantly altered by human actions.

🌳 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction.

🌳 Poaching and illegal trade contribute directly to the extinction of many species.

🌳 Illegal logging is estimated to account for between 10 and 30 per cent of the global timber trade.

🌳 Fish provide 20 per cent of animal protein to about 3 billion people.

🌳 More than 80 per cent of the human diet is provided by plants.

🌳 Nearly 80 per cent of people living in rural areas in developing countries rely on traditional plant‐based medicines for basic healthcare.

"Our actions are devastating every corner of the planet: 1 million species are at risk of extinction, the result of habitat degradation, skyrocketing pollution, and the worsening climate crisis.”

UN Secretary-General António Guterres

Education:

• What your students and you can do?

This day mobilize teachers, students, researchers on Biodiversity issues and their interdependence with global sustainable development issues.

However, Biodiversity is not a day. It's a real activity for days along the school year.

"Given the importance of public education and awareness about this issue, the UN decided to celebrate the International Day for Biological Diversity annually."

 

Education can help to understand better the value of biodiversity and the causes of biodiversity loss. 

• Curricula : Sciences ; Geography; Languages ; Civics.

• Levels : All levels. Different activities may be adapted to the level you are teaching.

Teachers will be inspired to prepare some pedagogical activities. Educators and students are invited to be active and help to conserve the biodiversity. 

• Teachers begin by suggesting the students to discover the exceptional beauty and richness of biodiversity.

• Educators introduce the concept of biodiversity : a general term denoting the variability of plants, animals and micro-organisms existing on Earth, their variability within a single species and also the variability of the ecosystems to which they belong.

@UNBiodiversity

Broadly speaking, biodiversity covers genetic diversity, the diversity of species and the diversity of habitats and ecosystems.

• In order to carry out the activities, the class goes outside on fresh air at their natural surroundings, with teachers. 

• Students learn how to observe, to “read” their environment better, to examine it in detail and to see things they may never have noticed before, and to distinguish different environments where biodiversity exists in various forms.

• Students can get some pics using mobile devices (tablets; smartphones). 

• Include the social networks into the curricula (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), to share experiences with other schools.

• Explore Google Earth. Let your students find and explore the theme.

This approach encourages students to use their senses to discover the environment and biodiversity.

https://www.un.org/

• Resources: Goal of the Month

This month’s Goal of the Month editorial focuses on Goal 15, Life on Land which is about protecting life on land. It is to conserve and restore terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation and stop biodiversity loss. Read more here

“Biodiversity is collapsing as one million species teeter on the brink of extinction. We must end these relentless and senseless wars on nature.” 

UN Secretary-General António Guterres,  UN Secretary-General
