Lesson 6 Learning Intentions Plastic-Free Communities| Lesson 6 of 6 Lesson 6 Learning Intentions By the end of this lesson… I will develop at least two new skills to carry out an action which address the root causes of plastic waste in our school community. I will assist my group by using a new facilitation role and consensus to make decisions within the timeframe given. I will reflect on my contribution to the project and analyse what went well and areas I can improve.

Plastic-Free Communities| Lesson 6 of 6 Aim: One person in each group takes 1 role each on a rotating basis each week, if groups are smaller than 5 then student(s) volunteer to take an extra role (optional) Source: adapted from https://www.seedsforchange.org.uk/
