which is creating more deserts and rising sea
levels.
melting glaciers: ice is melting fast in the
Arctic and Antarctic, which is creating rising
sea levels.

As was also shown in the Tune in to Reading

page for Unit 4, activating vocabulary students
already know makes reading easier because it
anticipates the contents of the text. In this
exercise, students work in pairs or small groups
to brainstorm what they know about
environmental problems. Students are required
to give more than just a collection of words.
They need to explain these terms in some detail
to prove that they understand these
environmental labels.
