My Project

These days it seems like there is litter everywhere! Our school is located on a busy road and part of a college campus. We have a beautiful school in a wonderful location that is being cluttered with litter. We want to create these public service announcements to remind drivers and pedestrians to stop littering on the street and in front of our school. My students will make videos to share and signs to make a visible reminder of the problems of littering.

Help protect our planet by not littering!

The traffic on our street in front of my school contributes to the littering problems. I would like my students to create a variety of public service announcements to remind the drivers and pedestrians to throw their trash in the proper places and not litter!

To create these announcements and signage, we will need an iPad to record and share, a case to protect the iPad, and storage for the paper we will use to create signs.
