003.A.13.3 2012 Earth Day




Me at the 2012 Earth Day Fair at SLCC. Below are the signs we made:







As a human,
am I
a natural resource?
What can I do
at SLCC
to develop me
& not waste me?
Does the rest
of the Earth need
me?
How will I help if I speak more than one language?
Monolingualism
is like being
a dinosaur.
Multilingualism
is like flying.
Please take a sticker:
  • Take a dinosaur, in honor of dinosaur avoidance, or
  • Take a living anl,
a face , or a m usical, as a commitment to speak another language.

Following are the instructions I gave my students:


Recycling handouts
Tissue box with plastic in it
Set of ring’ plastic key ring with metal
Paper, cardboard, plastic, metals, go together in the blue garbage bag CFL #6
Screwing the lid tight, rinse liquid out in the bathroom sink
Eat all the food, don’t take a little and say, I don’t like it.

Student project: Make a SLCC Recycling Video
Course Project Assignment

  1. Each video must be named uniquely and must include SLCC’s name;
  2. must show recycling in a positive manner;
  3. The act of recycling must be properly represented;
  4. must show one or more unique school quality;
  5. be original, creative, innovative, and unique;
  6. best: less than 30 seconds long; up to 1 minute long
  7. SLCC Recycling dept. wants these because students will pay attention to student-driven effort (biggest SLCC recycling problem right now is people throw liquid into SLCC paper recycling containers; SLCC cannot dry out wet paper, so paper is not recycled)
  8. 1st step: ask students to watch similar videos at
http://www.youtube.com/recyclemania
  1. Then consult with the SLCC Recycling department

  1. RecycleMania also has a video contest every year
