Writing - much more writing in a book!

 

Passionate learners collaborated, discussed and worked their way through the learning process to find out why hand dryers are more sustainable than paper towels. The dialogue, researching and note taking lead to writing not only factual information but a proposal to look into how to reduce the amount of paper towels and be more environmentally friendly.

The initial discussion was set up through a Smarie Collaborative Learning Experience guiding learners to talk about and negotiate a process and way forward.

    

The incidental teaching lead to the principal passing through and giving us figures of how much is spent on paper towels through out the year.
                               

Learners compared this with how many paper towels are used in a week across the school.




Learners presented their proposal with confidence and passion. There was certainly a WOW factor in their writing. It was an authentic learning experience. which has next steps with getting quotes for hand dryers and further investigation into more sustainable options.
