The Three R's

This is a Powerpoint presentation about the 3 R's and ideas for helping save the environment. There is also a handout for students to write some of the words and how they help the environment.

I start by asking for any volunteers to tell something they do to help save the environment. Pass out the half of an A4 handout and students will write some of the words they'll see as you show the Powerpoint slides.

After the 27 slides, I play the catchy Youtube song, "We're Going Green" which has some of the vocabulary they just saw in the presentation. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DJ45Yc3urg). (This also helps to wake up any students who may have gotten sleepy!)

Last, I have students write 2 ways they help save the environment or ways they want to start trying! Then they share that with a partner and write one of the partner's ways, too (on the bottom of the handout).

Note: As I go along showing the slides, sometimes I'll ask for a show of hands to see how many students do certain things, like "Who has been to a recycle shop?"
