I saved this cartoon from The Economist that predicted the impact of the Anthropocene for the year 2022. Yesterday, as I introduced our last threshold in Big History, the Future, I decided to use this cartoon as a resource for an opening activity. I divided the class in groups of five students each and asked them to observe the cartoon and analyze its content. Each group had to work on a Google doc. to investigate the events predicted by the cartoonist and find evidence or not to support his predictions. When the groups concluded, we debriefed the activity answering this question: "To what extent was this artist correct about his prediction of human interaction on our planet?" Do you have any suggestion to improve and/or extend this activity?
