Digital Art: Make a Poster Teaching How to Recycle

Use information learned from the game to create a poster to educate fellow students with how to properly recycle.

Ideas:

  • Take plastic bags to the grocery store
  • You can recycle bubble wrap at the grocery store
  • Take styrofoam to the drop off station
  • You can recycle milk cartons in the blue bin
  • Etc


Use sketchpad 5.1, or something similar on your phone. You can also make a poster directly in Seesaw. Post final posters to Seesaw.

Make a Video: Inspire and Teach others how to recycle and make lifestyle changes to reduce and reuse waste.

Can be a Vlog style, or any format you want. Work individually or in small groups. Using props is a good idea. Post on Seesaw.

Ideas:

  • Talk about how to reduce waste by using metal straws and taking reusable water bottles with you.
  • Talk about the different types of plastic to take to the grocery store to recycle.
