Reflect

Sustainability action process – Step 5

Evaluate and measure the success of your proposal in addressing the original issue and achieving your goal.

Record your reflections in your learning journal.

Waste-free school lunches reduce single-use plastics.

Evaluate the sustainability action

  • Did we achieve our goal of reducing energy use?
  • Have we measured or described this?
  • What were the strengths and weaknesses of our plan?
  • What could we have done differently to get a better result?
  • How can we communicate our success and engage others to try our idea?

Use your photographs and digital text to tell people about your project and your achievement.

Write an article for the school newsletter or local newspaper.

Reflect on the learning

  • How have our feelings and behaviour changed as a result of our learning?
  • How well did we participate in group learning activities?
  • What was the most enjoyable part of the project?
  • How can I apply what I’ve learnt to another sustainability issue?

In your learning journal:

  • reflect on the whole project
  • state if you have addressed the original issue
  • outline some new knowledge and skills you have developed
  • outline the most enjoyable part of the project.
