Learning Experience
After studying Oceans and Virginia Natural Resources, students embarked on a mission to raise awareness about safeguarding Virginia’s waterways. They focused on preventing pollution and minimizing trash entering these water bodies. Additionally, they explored the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. In collaborative groups, students creatively conveyed their ideas through videos, using songs or skits.
What did the student(s) learn about this experience:
"I learned to be a part of the solution not a part of the pollution. " - Trinity
What did the teacher enjoy about this experience:
“I enjoyed this experience because it allowed my students to think critically about a real world issue, problem-solve with their peers, and collaborate on a creative project together.” - Claire Jackson
