Introduction
Narrator (Teacher or Assistant):🗣️
(Gentle background music begins)
“Today, we will tell a story without words but with actions, music 🎵, and feelings. It’s about our planet 🌎 and how Class Y03 communicates using hands, ✋ faces 🥴, and hearts 💕 .”
Scene 1: Melting Ice at the North Pole
(Soft, icy blue lighting; sounds of ice cracking and water dripping)
The polar ice stands tall and strong, but it begins to weaken. Watch as the students, representing the ice, slowly melt to the ground. Around them, the sea rises, shown through the gentle movements of blue and green fabrics, symbolizing rising water levels.
Projected images show the North Pole’s ice disappearing, with sea levels threatening coastal regions around the world.
Scene 2: Climate Change Impact
(The lighting shifts to red and orange, symbolizing heat and rising temperatures)
The sun’s heat becomes unbearable. Students wave fiery fabrics, representing scorching temperatures. Animals and people struggle to cope, fanning themselves and moving sluggishly. The impacts of climate change are felt everywhere—dry lands, wildfires, and suffering wildlife.
Projected images of burning forests, parched earth, and endangered animals show the alarming consequences of global warming.
Scene 3: People Taking Action
(Lighting changes to green, symbolizing hope and action)
Hope emerges as students become environmental protectors. With determination, they begin picking up plastic cups and bottles scattered across the stage, carefully placing them in recycling bins. Some students show how to reduce water waste by mimicking turning off taps and using water wisely, symbolizing the importance of conservation.
They make deliberate hand motions, showing planting trees, recycling plastic, and caring for the Earth by saving water.
Projected images appear of people recycling plastic cups, conserving water, and making the world greener.
Scene 4: Reforestation and Healing
(The stage is bright and green, with soft music symbolizing renewal)
The Earth starts to heal. Students stretch their arms upward like trees, swaying gently as if carried by a cool breeze. Animals return to their homes as one student uses a watering can, symbolizing the healing power of reforestation and responsible water use.
Lush forests and thriving greenery appear on the screen, showing new growth, life, and hope.
Conclusion: Message of Hope
All students gather at the center of the stage, holding hands to symbolize unity.
Narrator:
“Together, we can help our planet. By reducing water waste, recycling plastic, and caring for our Earth, we can stop global warming and protect the planet for all living things.”
The final song refrain plays, and a large globe appears on the screen, showing a healthy, thriving planet—a symbol of the future we can create together.

Verse 1
If Global warming changes climate, what price we pay? Think outside of the box; what do you see? Man-made disasters affect every nation. What footprint follows for reforestation?

Quebec lost forest, cursed deforestation. Oxygen less—toll rises, rises pollution. Quebec lost forest, cursed deforestation. Ask yourself, how do you take climate action?
Chorus
People care, be careful; reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Verse 2
God lives in a sky of dreams up in the air. What God does; Take care of us and save the atmosphere. Plants and trees reduce pollution and temperature. Por Favor, work together, breathe in clean air.

Climate Change Episode In the school setting
KonTok: (Determined) You’re right, Mohi. Drastic weather shifts, natural disasters, and resource misuse have become far too familiar.
Climate action: Create video books, aka VOOKs – that seamlessly blend visual, auditory, and readable content, revolutionizing how we experience literature.
Mohi: (Conscious) It’s time for our school to make a significant change. We must find ways to reduce paper consumption.
Mohi: (Passionate) Kontok, Our Earth’s diversity is being profoundly affected by these changes in climate.
Moderate climate action: Imagine sharing your stories, poems, and ideas through VOOKs and digital platforms, accessible to a global audience. Your words can make a meaningful difference while respecting the Earth’s limited resources-the impact you can have on reducing carbon footprint.
Song lyrics Copyright Mohammad Nasirullah
Extreme climate action: If you reject publishing the book in paper, you contribute significantly to the collective effort to mitigate paper waste. Many readers, scholars, and environmental enthusiasts appreciate the value of this shift.
