9.B class students

Riga Pardaugava Primary School 9b. During ERASMUS + UP2B, the students of the school played a real situation during the geography lessons, which was created after a strong storm in the territory of Latvia. Storms and floods are the biggest natural risks that may affect Latvia in the future due to climate change. In the winter season of 2021/2022, several strong cyclones crossed the territory of Latvia, which caused several storms. During the geography lessons, the students got acquainted with the operation of cyclones, their characteristics and watched a video about the damage caused by storms in Latvia.
After learning the theoretical material, the students played out a real situation - a press conference after a strong storm. During the press conference, 9b class students took on the roles of representatives of various professions - meteorologist, climatologist, historian, representative of the Latvian state forests, insurer, journalists, conference leader, a resident of the Ziepniekkalns area. Specialists provided information on the nature of the storm and the damage caused, journalists asked questions, photographed and filmed what was happening. The press conference was held in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
During the activity, students both strengthened their theoretical knowledge and learned presentation and communication skills - to speak, ask questions and answer them, to discuss, listen to others, accept it or object.
