SAMPLE LESSON PLANS:
|
The County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works is proud to sponsor Plan-It Earth, in partnership with the Los Angeles Times, as a resource for teachers in Los Angeles County. We hope you are able to incorporate these exercises into your lesson plans this school year.
We also welcome your comments about this program, as we would like the opportunity to make a difference in your classroom.
The Plan-It Earth program gives teachers the opportunity to nurture environmentally sound habits. The program also supplements teachers' existing curriculum with assignments and lesson plans that give students a refreshing alternative to textbook learning. With a focus on the environment - particularly pollution prevention and solid waste management - the lessons will give students the chance to research environmental issues related to preventing water pollution, recycling to preserve natural resources, and handling toxic and other solid wastes in a responsible way that protects the environment. Each year teachers and students have the opportunity to compete for cash prizes and have their winning essay published in the Los Angeles Times.
Actions we take in our daily lives can impact us all and affect our health and the health of our communities. Those habits your students learn in their early years tend to be reflected throughout the course of their lives.
Thank you for working with these materials to help your students on the path to a greater awareness of the impact they can have on the quality of life on the planet we share.
