toc The Green Team's resource is a guide for teachers to assist in creating an authentic recycling project of their own. Please see below for a guideline on timetabling structure. Follow the Introduction, Experts, Research and Media tabs for class guidelines which link to there resources and references page. The students presentation page is for students to upload their multimedia presentations.

For information on how we created this resource and how to use it, please view our presentation.

=**Curriculum Alignment**= This project will assist year 2 students in determining the enterprising ways that people use resources in order to minimise waste (attachment A). The student presentation aspect of the project will require students to develop many skills from the English writer and speaker scope and sequence (attachment B & C) such as explaining, word processing skills, proofreading / editing and presentation skills.
 * Topic:** Recycling


 * Task**: Creating an educational movie to educate their peers on how to recycle a certain type of resource (water, cardboard/paper, food waster, plastics)


 * Year Level:** Year 2


 * Subject Area:** Society and Environment & English

**Scope & Sequence**

**Outcomes**
The year 2 students will be given background information on what recycling is and why it is important by a range of experts and through guided research. They will work in groups to facilitate collaborative learning and be given a specific topic - water, food waste, paper/cardboard or plastics. The use of technology in the classroom - such as guided internet searches, interactive whiteboard lessons, YouTube expert movies, will enable the students to engage with multiple expert perspectives (Herrington, J. 2011). The students will then use this research to make a movie to educate their peers on how to recycle and why it is important. Students will be given an opportunity to give other groups feedback on their which will enable reflection on the task. The use of social networking such as Twitter will also assist in collaboration, reflection and provide a means for more information to be provided to the class from the teacher. Presenting their findings in an educational movie allows students to create original works to express the groups outcomes, communicate with a wider audience, and be educated by each other which ensures more methods of minimising waste can be covered. This project could be used as a theme for the term, which could be incorporated into many subject areas for example - maths, how much rubbish have we saved; art - reusing items which would normally go to land fill as art supplies or creating posters for art, the options are endless.

**About Us**
Danielle Doherty, Heather Giles, Shona Lawrence and Jodie Manolas make up the Green Team. Follow the hyperlinks to our e-portfolios to find out more information about us and to follow us on our learning journey. We are all external students who came to be the Green Team, mostly by chance! We found each other some on the LMS, some by sitting next to each other on Orientation Day.
