Littering Poster Project

You will be working in groups of three for this project- don’t forget the school goal of social responsibility. Each member of a group must contribute equally to the project. We recently collected garbage from the school property. Your group will get a piece of cardboard and you will glue(using a glue gun) a sample of every piece of garbage that your group collected. During the drying stage you will be given time to find information about littering on the internet in the library. Although the posters will have garbage on them try to make them as neat and presentable as possible. The plan is to display the posters around the school, thus, educating fellow students and staff about the affects littering has on animals and the environment. Below is a list of items which need to be on your poster.
