Environmental Impact Letters

To connect our project to 4th grade writing standards, our students were asked to compose a 5 paragraph essay in the form of a letter. Their letter had to speak to their audience, informing them of the dangers of plastic waste on our planet and on our campus. They were also tasked with proposing some solutions to help solve the trash problem on the HTeCV campus. 

Students used multiple infographics, texts, and videos as resources to aide them in their research, and as a class we discussed plagiarism and using cited evidence from another author to give credit for what we have learned. As you read, be on the lookout for your student citing another source in their writing!
