From the data collected we saw that from 1960 to 2016 the main temperature increased progressively and precipitation decreased strongly. The effects of climate change on Aversa,the area where we live, are evident and we must act for the future.

6. ACTIONCAT STORY
6.1. Anisa-BirsenTeacher. We used our imagination and created the story "ActionCat". It revolves around a character called "ActionCat" who deals with natural disasters in order to find letters. The letters that will save the world: Be A Breath. Struggling with disasters, in the end ActionCat succesfully collects all of the letters and achieves its goal. When readin the story, it teaches about natural disasters such as avalanche, flood and many more.
6.2. Mariarosaria-Giovanna teacher:Writing a chapter in the Actioncat story was challenging but funny. We had to write how the Actioncat dealt with a flood and we tried to use our imagination as much as possible. It was interesting reading the other chapters because we learned a lot about natural disasters and how to use the new webtool "Ourboox".

8.1. Nurirem-TeacherSuzan: We gave suggestions about what we can do to prevent climate change. While doing that I did a little bit of a research to come clear about what I was going to write about. I was a bit worried because I wanted to write things that won't be hard to do but affective to the climate change. After I finished my task I looked at other students' ideas and it made me realize that there are many easy things that we can do to save our world. I hope that this task helped others to gain awareness about climate change.
8.2. Anisa-BirsenTeacher . We discussed about our world and what should we do in order to prevent it from getting destroyed. We also brought a few new ideas about how to avoid climate change. At the end of the meeting I believe all of us leaved there with more information in our hand about what should we do.
