Lesson Plan Idea

My rough idea is to have the students do a project so they can learn what materials can be recycled and how they can help the environment through reuse, reduce, and recycle!

This is my idea for my lesson plan:

• Have the students research recycling, recycling programs and things that people can do in everyday life.
• Get into groups and have them brainstorm (based on their research) what we could do as a class to facilitate recycling.
• Present to the class their ideas with visuals
• Have the class vote on what program they would like to start in our class.
  
• Then work with the ideas and put it into effect into the classroom!

What do you think? When I write my lesson plan I'm going to expand on a lot of these ideas. This was just my thinking. Let me know if you have any feedback!

Websites on recycling

Here are the websites that I want to focus on:
http://mediapolicycenter.org
http://www.ourearth.org/education
http://www.kidsface.org/pages/sac.html

The last website focuses on the children getting involved. Part of the website says:
In conjunction with planning youth environmental activities and associating with Kids For A Clean Environment, we ask that your programs and activities include:
*Focus on solution, not problems, and without "pointing of fingers"
*Motivate participants to take positive actions
*Strive for ethnic/cultural, economic, age, gener, and physical ability diversity
*at NO time be used to influence local, regional, state, or national rules, policies, laws or government officials

This would be a good website for students to brainstorm what THEY can do to help. This would be a good community building activity for a classroom to participate in. Instead of just learning about recyling, they can learn what they can do.
