Rubbish Stories

Students write a brilliant story about plain old rubbish!
In this English and Science workshop, we'll follow the journey of a bottle cap dropped in a school playground as it travels into the drain, through the sewers and out to the ocean. While we're developing our storytelling superpowers, we'll also be inspired by real-life examples of sustainability initiatives to help us re-write a rubbish ending.
In a jam-packed hour, we'll cover:
- Personification
- Plot structures
- Sustainability
- Recycling
- Saving the world!
Materials required:
- Pencil
- Paper
