Podcast Script

My podcast deals with the goals we have for the school, the classrooms, and the students while participating in the school wide recycling program.

We are implementing a school wide recycling program into our school and there are some goals for the school to accomplish

Are goals include those that reflect the entire school, the individual classrooms and the students that are participating in this recycling program.

The goals we have for the school are to have all classrooms and students participating in the recycling program and to establish a sense of responsibility and community into the students through their participation in the recycling program.

The goals for the classrooms are to, implement a project based that involves lessons related to the recycling program. Minor goals for the classroom include; recycling bins in each classroom, to have each student participating, and to recycle enough money to have a student field trip.

The goals we have for the students are for their inquisitiveness for recycling to drive their learning. Some other goals include; for the students to participate in the recycling program, to build their awareness of their community and environment, to learn how recycling works, and above all, for them to enjoy working in the school wide recycling program.

podcast

I haven't finished my podcast yet, but I will have it done by Sunday and I am still trying to figure out exactly what mine is going to be about so if you guys have any ideas let me know.

Lesson Plan 2

I'm just now doing lesson plan 2.
I'm going to have students goto different classrooms asking what each clasroom's goal for recycling is. Then use this to create a school wide goal shown on a graph.

Just thought i'd let you guys know!

My podcast

I figured my podcast would sound good going after Jenn's. Let me know what you think. Here is my podcast it focuses on How the project is set up: where recycling bins are located, classroom competition, etc. Joe: if you need an idea i was thinking you could go with Places we will be working with for recycling, or classroom goals/prizes/how things will be counted. Pretty much just wrap up the podcast! I will send my podcast to you by Saturday if you don't mind putting it together??

At the school recycling kick-off assembly, students will be given information about the school-recycling program, and how to do their best to take part in it. They will be told how the program will organized. Overall, the program is a competition between the different grades to see who can come up with the most material to be recycled throughout the year. The materials to be recycled in the competition are: aluminum cans plastic bottles, paper, and glass. There will be specific bins in each classroom for all of these materials. Bins will also be located in areas around the school such as the cafeteria, offices, and computer room. Materials in these bins will benefit the school as a whole, but will not count toward any individual classroom’s recycling. Materials will be counted by student volunteers every week, and then placed into the proper larger bins for each material. Every month, or when needed the large bins will be taken to the proper places for recycling. The school will also be recycling old technology and electronics when needed, but these will not be counted in the competition. The school will also to their best to implement being environmentally conscious to tie in with recycling. There will be a school-wide blog created using blogger.com for the different classrooms to communicate with each other about any issues, concerns, ideas, and progress of the recycling program. Each class will have an account on the blog and students and teachers may post to it when necessary. Each class will also create their own asset maps for their individual classroom recycling. The asset maps will help show each class what is necessary to do in order to successfully take part in the recycling program, and how their class can help the school’s program. The students will be encouraged to provide plenty input throughout the entire project such as classroom goals, prizes, and overall project management.
