Their new topic for this unit is Saving the Earth.
How do we save the Earth?
One step at a time.
First, we have to explore the kinds of damage we have already been "doing" to the earth. Such examples listed by pupils are,
- pollution
- deforestation
- etc...
To make it interesting, a video of "Captain planet and the Planeeters" were shown to the class. This cartoon series is very popular in the 80s and the whole storyline is about fighting people that are polluting or harming the earth. Not a bad series actually, with the theme revolving around saving the earth.
Unfortuantely, japanese animation and all sorts of cartoons have "wired" the children's thinking. So, this cartoon, which was once a big hit, was now a flop in front of them.
Oh well...
Here's the lame video intro again.
We decided to venture into saving the rainforests first. Hence, pupils were tasked to do another KWL chart. I like doing the KWL chart because firstly, it's easy to do and secondly, the effort and the work art of the end product by the pupils' are simply amazing.
Here are a few samples of students' work.
Hopefully, they have learnt something informative at the end of this lesson (they should!).
