Assign each student or groups of students a task. Students keep regular records of the project status in their journals. Conduct the project, and be sure to spread the news. Invite the local press to be there when your project kicks off. Reflection Activity Students share the project s successes and failures.
Students write a journal entry about the new recycling habits they intend to adopt as a result.
Additional Idea Recycling isn t just about properly disposing of unused items. You can also recycle items by redirecting them to people in need. Don t throw them out. Give them to foster children like Aubyn Burnside did. Start a chapter of Suitcases for Kids.
