Environmental issues
£14.95
The aim of this role-play scheme is to give students the opportunity The environment is a very topical issue and one that many students feel strongly about. I wrote this scheme of work with the aim of tapping into some of this enthusiasm and getting students thinking about what they can do to make changes to the way they impact on the environment.
However, you may also encounter some apathy among students; part of the problem is that we feel that as individuals our efforts do not make much difference. We need to move away from this ‘what can I do, I’m just one person’ attitude towards a ‘one person can make all the difference’ attitude. If we can begin to get students to think more about reusing, reducing and recycling, we can all make a difference.
