Hydropower in Africa – Exit Ticket
Summary
This exit ticket asks students to imagine being displaced by a new power plant, then reflect on how that would feel and what protections should be in place before any relocation happens. It’s a quick three-question wrap-up that connects the displacement issue raised in the hydropower video and dam research project back to a personal, empathy-driven angle. Works well as a closer for a high school lesson or unit on energy infrastructure trade-offs.
Imagine your family had to move to a totally new location so a new power plant could be built where you’re living now.
- How would you feel about this change?
- What concerns would you have about leaving your home?
- What conditions or protections should be in place before relocation?
Give at least two specific examples.
