      <title>Welcome to the Padlet - Analysing the Modes of Meaning-Making on a Website by Sylvia Weiler</title>
      <link>https://padlet.com/weiler2/nh97b73z8aaojmon</link>
      <description>In groups of eight (four), analyse how the text or the images on https://www.beforetheflood.com/explore/the-deniers/ create a certain image of &#39;the Deniers&#39;. Complete the worksheet. Discussing your findings in class, let&#39;s decide together which findings we should agree on by writing it down in the Padlet. In a second step, we will build new groups of eight (four) people consisting of both experts on the textual and visual mode to analyse the two next categories. Again, we will discuss your results in class and decide what to write down in the Padlet. </description>

Their life should stay like it is now or had been years ago, because it's their habit. Most of the time they ignore the discussion about climate change and just say: "The politicians are wrong, taxes are too expensive and every scientist is stupid."</div>]]></description>
