Daily Life Problem

RECYCLING AND EREN

"Eren was walking in the park in his dream when he saw a sad garbage can sitting on the side. He wondered why it was sad and approached it to ask why. The garbage can explained that people didn't use it properly, they threw their garbage around carelessly and haphazardly, causing a lot of harm to nature. It said it was there to collect garbage carefully, but it didn't know how to fix people's careless and wrong behavior. After hearing all of this, Erin suddenly woke up from his dream when his mother called him, and he thought about how right the garbage can was. He decided to explain to people how they should collect their waste properly. At the same time, the recycling topic his teacher talked about in class came to his mind, and he started looking for ways to raise awareness."

After telling this story, the teacher asks the students, "What do you think Erin can do about this?" and "What can we do to recycle our waste?".

 

Entrance

 

1.The teacher starts the lesson by playing the song about recycling from the link below:


  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOvcW8l3RzE&t=1s

 

   (All teachers who wish can play a song about recycling in their native language.)

 

 

2. After the song, he asks the students the following questions and asks them to answer them. The topic is introduced through a brainstorming session.

 

1-What do you consider as waste? From where?
2-When do we throw things in the trash?
3-When was the last time you threw something into the trash can?
4-Where does the waste go? How's it going?
5-What does the amount of waste produced by a person tell us?

 

3. A mind map about waste is created from the answers given to the questions. (Lower classes can create the mind map on the board using images etc., upper classes can create the mind map they have determined using the web 2 tool)
