 * Student Assessment Task:**

Our Student Task is based around a news report, skit or informative presentation on Reduce, Reuse, Recycle within the school, as well as an ongoing blog page. Throughout the weeks of learning about the three R's, the students will be instructed to take a few photos which relate to and clearly show each topic to incorporate into their own blog. For example during the Reuse topic, the students will take photos of the items that they will reuse in a craft project, and the final reusable product they then make. During week 3 of this program, the students will tour the school to see what strategies could be put in place, or what already exists. They will then begin to create and develop their ideas of how to make their choice of a news report, skit or informative presentation to present to their school. This presentation of work will be done in groups and must only include one of the three R's that each group will be assigned by the teacher. The presentation could be based around what they have been learning about during the week, how the school is currently using the three R's and how the school could improve their usage of the three R's and become more environmentally friendly. There is an example of how the students could make a skit in a you tube video below. The teachers should encourage creativity and give guidance for the students as they use technology they may not be fully comfortable with.

 * Evaluation:**

The students will be assessed on their blog to make sure they are documenting what they are learning. The reason for this is to ensure they continually complete their blog, as well as enable their creativity to develop within it. The students will also be assessed on their video presentation, for creativity and team work aspects. It is important to encourage team work throughout the learning experience to ensure their final presentation is a success. These tasks are highly authentic as they enable the students to create something rather than complete a boring worksheet with lots of questions as the assessment. We believe these tasks will be very enjoyable for the students and teacher as each student will be able to express their own personal thoughts towards their learning, as well as how they will present their work.

The presentation to the whole school at assembly will be very useful in informing the rest of the school on different ways it can improve the reduce, reuse and recycle activities currently in place within the school.
