OK…time for a break from the snow blogs! It’s a tad hard this time of year to think about anything else, but perhaps if I write about warmer climates, I’ll defrost a little!
There are some really exciting groups doing some very innovative things to clean up our oceans. The problem is huge and overwhelming, and it is hard to fathom that one group can make a difference, but every step in the right direction does make a difference.
It would be a wonderful authentic project to do some research about our oceans, the groups that are doing things to clean up our oceans, and perhaps think about a new innovative way to make a difference. Even having a bake sale and donating the money to a group that is helping to clean up our oceans would be a great authentic project.
Authentic learning does not need to involve a huge project to be authentic. And a project to help solve a problem does not need to be huge to make a difference!
