Webquest is part of a unit on Recycling. "To Recycle, or not Recycle?" may
be used as an introduction or closing activity.
Suggestions:
You can change the
committees to be focus groups. For example, you could have a environmental
focus group, a city planning focus group, and a citizen's action focus group.
Then, at the town council have the focus group make a presentation or have a
debate.
For the final
project you could have students create a PowerPoint presentation, posters, or
give an "expert" testimony.
Extension Activity:
Have students create a Reduce, Reuse, Recycle plan for their school.
