Our project begins in November by joining a British Council live event together in our English class (November 17). The purpose is to get the students interested in environmental issues and see how easy it is to get involved and make a difference. After that, a series of lessons on environmental topics will be held in order to teach the students relevant vocabulary and good practices. After that, the students will create a poster about what our school already is doing to help protect the environment. They will also make another poster with their ideas about what more we could do. Hopefully, some of their ideas will be applicable and manageble before our Green Apple Day of Service, which is April 22 or Earth Day. An Earth Day event will be held where all out idas and potentioal results will be presented to all the students and staff.
