4.+Elaborate

=**Activity 1**= Students will create a poster advertising Planet Arks recycling week (12-18 Nov) and elaborate on various elements of recycling. This activity is designed for students to demonstrate the learned context and to expand on their knowledge of the subject (recycling). This will be achieved through individual research, allocated during class time, to collect relevant information. Each student will complete an online poster on **[|www.glogster.com]** in which they will need to include a minimum of 6 visual images, one video clip, at least one sound file, information about the event, including dates, times, activities etc., and ten varied recycling tips or facts. A rubric will be included to ascertain whether students have worked to the best of their abilities.

To create a Glogster go to [|The Glogster Website] fill in the nickname, email and password text boxes and click create account. Once logged in select "Create New Glog" and the the "Poster Glog" Template. A blank Glog page will open. Use the toolbar on the left to insert text, audio, video, links, pictures and customize the content.

=Activity 2= Students will be taking their learnt knowledge to create a Recycling book. The students will be recycling old newspapers to create new, recycled paper. This paper will be fashioned into a book for students to write on. They will first be following a science experiment to breakdown the newspaper and make it into recycled paper and therefore their book. Prior to the lesson have students discuss what they think will happen and how they think it would look. The science experiment will be copied into their new books including aspects such as title, method, hypothesis, equipment etc. Students will then write about the experiment, what they learnt, what they enjoyed and any interesting facts. This will bring the two aspects of theory and practical together to inform students about the hands on experience of recycling.
