Making a Difference on the Earth

 

 

We always talk about our lives making a difference for the Earth. By this, we mean that we try to make the Earth a better place, to leave the Earth in better shape than when we arrived.

 

What we DON’T want to do is to leave the Earth in WORSE shape than when we arrived!

 

Your assignment is to make a poster, about how we can make a POSITIVE difference for the environment of our planet.  You must choose from one of the following topics:

 

 

Ø Housing: how we live, how we conserve

Ø Natural Resources: Conserving what we have left on our planet

Ø Food: the way we eat, what we eat, and how we recycle our leftovers

Ø Transportation: fuel use and  air pollution

Ø Waste: reuse, reduce, and recycle

 

 

Design and color your poster. Make it beautiful and make it full of information. You may draw, use clip art, photos, magazine or newspaper clippings and/or articles. Be creative!

 

Before you actually create your poster, ask yourself these questions to make your ideas clear:

 

Ø Will my poster tell everyone how to treat the Earth better?

Ø Will my poster give information about the topic I chose?

Ø Will my poster be original, creative, colorful and correct?

 

Make sure your poster has correct Spelling and Grammar.

 

You may make your poster as large as you wish, but it should be no smaller than 11” x 14” in size.

 

Have Fun!
