An eco-friendly decalogue for the school.

As you know our project is focused on some of the Sustanaible Development Goals from the United Nations. The title is "Taking care of our world" and we are going to read, investigate, create working about enviromental issues and ecology. In the website created for the project you will have all the information about it and all the final products we are going to do.  

Along this week of exchange at Colegio San Gregorio, we are going to work on how to help our school mates to be a bit more eco friendly, in order to create a better school, here in Aguilar but also in Holy Trinity School in Guildford.

To start we want you to have a look to the following video and you are going to work on it with the Thinking routine: The Headline. When you finish watching, you should offer to your classmates a headline  about the video and our topic: Eco-friendly schools.

STEP 1: Discuss with the members of your group if  your schools (San Gregorio and Holy Trinity) are eco friendly schools and if they can do a bit more about this topic.

STEP 2: Create a list of ten actions, tips or musts your school mates can follow in order of being a bit more eco friendly at school.

STEP 3: Let's design an Infography with your ten tips, actions or musts. These infographies are going to be posters along our schools so please try to do your best, clear letters, wonderful colours, good pictures, etc….

You are going to use Canva as a web tool for infographies.

STEP 4: Write the final post into your Digital Porfolio. Here you have an example about how to do it. (Be careful with the mistakes and the tags)

eTwinning Task; Creating an ecoSchool

As you know our project is focused on some of the Sustanaible Development Goals from the United Nations. The title is "Taking care of our world" and we are going to read, investigate, create working about enviromental issues and ecology. In the website created for the project you will have all the information about it and all the final products we are going to do.  

The third task will be related with the eco habits the students of the school have and how to promote new and good ecohabits on the school community.

This task is goint to have two different products and parts:

• Survey about ecohabits in the school and the results we get from.
• Presentation promoting eco habits in the school community.

STEP 1:  Let's open your learning diary, remember you have an example of it at the top of this section.

STEP 2:  The survey will have 10 questions two per each group. You have to create two questions in which you ask students of the school about ecohabits in the school. Maybe it would be great if you think in more than two just in case another group have the same of you.  REMEMBER TO FOLLOW THE RULE.

STEP 3: Along this step we are going to divided our groups because we are going to do two task at the same time.

• The recorders will prepare de final Form to be ready for doing the survey.
• The rest of the members of the group will look for 10 eco habits we can have in the school. (It should be real actions because you are going to take photos of it and write down about the habit using present continuous)

STEP 4: We are going to survey different school group in the school with the Forms, for that purpose, everybody will go to a class each group will take four or five students of this class and they will complete the form.

• It will be a great idea if you choose a group of students more or less with the same range of age (like year 1 and Year 2 o year 3 and year 5)

STEP 5: Take photos of your group doing each one of the habits you decided at step 3. Try them to be clear they are going to be for a Presentation.

STEP 6: Create the Power Presentation, you can work in group but each student has to create their own presentation. You have the same pictures, but you will have your final product each one. The following presentation could be helpful as an example or you can download and modify from here.
