The teacher will go over what recycling, landfills, and conservation means. The teacher will show the class some graphs on the issue of filling landfills and the class will have a brief discussion on the issue. The students will be placed into groups of six to research different issues and arguments on landfills, recycling, and conservation. The groups will work together to prepare an argument for why their issue needs to be stood for or stood against. The students will present their argument to the class and educate their classmates about their issue. The teacher will finish the lesson by having the students work as a class to write a short speech to read at the next school assembly, so they can educate their school about landfills, recycling, and conservation.
Good questions to ask during the lesson:
- How is littering related to the issue of landfills?
- Why is it important for people to use less water?
- How would you predict this world would look like if no one recycled?
- What will we do if we run out of room for landfills? What are the problems with burning the trash in landfills?
