Sorting Out 1:
Action Plan - How can positive changes be made within the school?
Referring back to 'virtual world' questions/suggestions (within recycle zone site).
Does the school use recycling bins?
Compost bin?
Who is responsible for this?
Who will be responsible to ensure this is maintained?
How could teachers and students improve the waste produced within the class?
How would they go about educating the school? - A suggestion to have an assembly whereby the recycle now schools site - assembly presentation could be utilised.
This would incorporate the game design as follows (this is all on the site which requires you to register to access)


As well as the 'Busta & Pong' song sung at the end of the video.The site could be provided to all teachers (along with the lyrics) to be taught to varying levels - to ensure they grasp the 3 R's philosophy (teachers can use this to engage their own students and create units of work whilst making them aware of the changes around the school).
The Level 4 students could check back in several weeks and have a school singing assembly and perhaps design a quiz to accompany this to assess the school's collective knowledge.



Making conclusions 1:
Students to design their own eco-friendly city using Mind map format to write/illustrate ideas..
Posed questions - What elements would we need to think about?
(ie. animals, water, native wildlife/parks, recycling plants, sustainable forests, people needs, future generations...)
Recapping what they have learnt throughout unit of work.
Informed of size specifications and materials used to aid creative process.


Making conclusions 2:
Art Attack Diorama of ideal eco-friendly city in pairs/or groups of 3.
Made from recycled materials.
Presented to class with informal explanation of ideas.
