Know Your World #67: The Great Global Warming Swindle

▶️ Here’s a 2007 British documentary that claims global warming is a swindle (=cheating). The term “global warming” has since been abandoned in favour of the more universal “climate change”. It’s been heavily criticised for going against mainstream science.

🏮 Special Day: Welcome the Year of the Dragon!

▶️ Tune in to the world’s biggest televised event – the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. It’s a potpourri (=mix) of bombastic (=big, shocking) musical performances, spectacular kongfu (=Chinese martial art) shows, not that funny standup comedy and lots of propaganda (=advertising for the government). And it’s going on RIGHT NOW! 👇

Talking Point #6: Snippets

▶️ Cats are amazing creatures. They manage to teach complex history lessons in just 20 seconds. But it doesn’t stop there. People form their opinions about society and politics on TikTok, and even one minute is a long time there. And damn me if I write too much on my channel – people will unsubscribe.

We live in a world of “snippets” – super short pieces of written information with more and more visuals (=using pictures or videos). What’s your take (=your opinion)?

Know Your World #70: Bloom’s Taxonomy

▶️ You may say you think a lot, but thinking is not the same as thinking! There is a hierarchy (=system of levels) to that.

Why does it matter?
❗️Whether we are students or teachers, we need to aim for higher thinking skills in education.
