Unit 2 Communication

For the second unit of Language Arts, we are discovering the ways media makes people believe what they want people to believe. We are going to do a campaign on environmental issues. At first, our group wants to make students in our school aware of their actions of wasting by interviewing the clean workers on the streets, but when we were planning it, we found that hard to do and there were also many difficulties to do that, it’s kind of rude to ask a stranger on the street about his or her personal information. Plus, waste is a broad topic, so after discussing, we narrowed it down to the topic of food waste. Food waste is a big contemporary issue which matters a lot, while we are wasting our food, there are a lot of people starve to death, but many people still don’t pay enough attention to food waste, they think they pay for the food so it’s up to them to waste or not. In our school, students also waste a lot of food, in order to achieve the purpose of make students aware of food waste, we planned to do the things below:

1.Make stickers to stick on the tables of cafeteria to make students think twice before     throwing the food away.

  1. Make posters to publicize the idea of saving food.
  2. Make a video to compare the food we have and the situation those poor people in to make students think about the actions they are doing and how does their change of the actions change the situation.
  3. Make stickers to little kids as the reward of finishing their food and give rewards (we are not sure yet) to older kids.

We have already made the stickers for cafeteria; next we are going to make the logo and posters. I enjoyed working with my team a lot.
