"Plastics" campaign

Publication

Abstract

The article aims at a project focused on teaching how to "handle with plastics" in the 9th grade of lower-secondary school school. Education is focused on knowledge, skills and attitude aspects.

The lesson begins with an up-to-date video of the situation around plastics on the planet. The students are introduced to a model situation in which they become part of an agency, which should try to map and propose a solution to the situation around plastisc in Prague 4 (Modřany).

Students pass an entry test to make them familiar with their initial knowledge, attitudes and then during the group conversation open up possibilities and specialization to lead the campaign. Afterwards, they will be divided into groups according their own preferences, which they want to devote during the campaign (e.g. advertising, alternative articles, nearby questionnaires, leaflets, advertising, etc.) Following lesson will be divided into groups, outline and specify their work.

Students will work independently, under the teacher's guidance. Next part is their independent work outside of the school, where they spend their free time.

In the following lesson, students have the space to complete their materials and consult their results with each other or with the teacher. They will present their final results in the last lesson, which will be fisnished with an output test of their knowledge and attitudes toward the topic.
