My Choice and Change Investigation Notebook
Students create an individual research notebook with drawings, photo labels, and dictated sentences showing one cleanup choice, what they observed, and how the space changed. The notebook documents their question, observations, sorting decisions, and personal explanation of why the choice mattered.
Choice Champions Before-and-After Gallery Presentation
Teams produce a short shared presentation and display of before-and-after photos, a class anchor chart, and simple signs explaining how their cleanup choices changed a classroom, playground, or park space. The presentation must include each member’s evidence and discuss any surprising or mixed findings.
