Read Fact Flash 2 to prepare your lecture. Distribute the Student Handout and Fact Flash 2 . Assign students to read Fact Flash 2 for homework and prepare responses to the questions in the Student Handout. Explain that for the lesson on hazardous waste laws, students will be divided into groups. Each group will discuss the questions on the handout and devise a program for dealing with hazardous waste sites based on group consensus.
Procedure Divide the class into groups.
Briefly review the concerns raised in the handout and the questions that students must answer when they are devising their program. Have members of each group discuss among themselves how best to determine goals for dealing with hazardous waste sites and design a program to accomplish these goals. The group should also be prepared to discuss and advocate their program, and to answer questions posed by other students. Remind the students that each member of the group should state his or her position on the issues, and the group should adopt a response to every question before moving on to the next one. If the group agrees on an issue, it should move on to the next one.
