Making Our World a Better Place


In this song, Ben Harper invites us to change the world with our own two hands... that is the biggest goal of this unit!

Here are the instructions for the oral evaluation. Read them carefully and post tour doubts if necessary.

Option 1: Research. 
In couples or groups of three. 
Choose one of the following initiatives which aim to help the environment in our country. (you may choose another one you know)
Bicycles in Chile



Plastic bags Pucón



Recycling in Chile


Cleaning Beaches

Then, prepare a presentation which includes the following information:
·         Name and aim of the organization/initiative
·         How the organization works (where they work, what they do, people who participate, how long they have existed)
·         Why  you chose this organization/initiative.
·         Would you participate in the initiative? Why? Why not? (each member must answer this question)
·         What new information did you learn while preparing this presentation? (each member must answer this question)

REMEMBER: You must include pictures to support your presentation. But, if you use a powerpoint presentation, don’t use full sentences. Isolated words or terms are more useful. You can also teach some new words you find interesting. And, check the spelling before you present.

You will have to hand in a report which includes this information. (It can be a week after the presentation – first week of September)
The  report must include an introductory paragraph that shows the name of the initiative/organization and explains why you chose this initiative. Then,  another part in which you explain the aim of the organization, how the organization works.
Finally, a conclusion in which you say why would you or why wouldn’t you participate in the organization and what new information you learned while working on the project.

Option 2: Your ideas!


For this project, you’ll get a grade but, most importantly, you’ll make a real positive change. So, what do you have to do?
You must think about real alternatives for reuse, reduce and recycle (one for each), that you can put into practice at home. You’re going to write down your proposals. Then, once a week you’re going to write down if they’re working; if no, you have to tell why.

For your presentation you have to answer the following questions.
·         What you plan to do (to reuse, reduce and recycle).
·         How this initiatives are going to help ( you will have to do some research)
·         Why you chose these ideas.
·         What new information did you learn while preparing this presentation? (each member must answer this question)

You will have to hand in a report which includes this information. (It can be a week after the presentation – first week of September)
The report must include an introductory paragraph that names what you are going to do and explains why you chose those ideas. Then, another part in which you explain in detail what you did and how you did it, and. You must explain how you did it each week and if it worked.
Finally, a conclusion in which you say what new information you learned while working on the project and how your project could improve.
