1
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:09,619
Plastic Not So Fantastic is the content and activities block of the English assignment that is part of the STEM project that you are carrying out from various areas.

2
00:00:09,619 --> 00:00:18,620
Unit 4, Going Green, will be your starting point in the English component of the school's STEM project with Sound of ESO, Plastics and the Environment.

3
00:00:18,620 --> 00:00:21,620
The aim of this authentic experience is threefold.

4
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:27,620
Firstly, to achieve basic scientific literacy skills, learn to tackle topics that aren't too

5
00:00:27,620 --> 00:00:32,820
broad, research, then process and communicate information found. So you will learn how to

6
00:00:32,820 --> 00:00:38,659
effectively search the web, seek multiple credible sources and attribute the information found,

7
00:00:38,659 --> 00:00:44,420
so avoid plagiarising by cutting and pasting. You will also learn to conduct interviews.

8
00:00:45,460 --> 00:00:49,780
Secondly, you will integrate clear and cross-curricular material in the English class,

9
00:00:49,780 --> 00:00:54,740
so the project also complements the types of science you learn at school by getting you to

10
00:00:54,740 --> 00:01:01,299
answer questions of public interest. And thirdly it will raise awareness of current issues that

11
00:01:01,299 --> 00:01:10,019
affect us all. How we will do this? Well you will become a science journalist and by working in

12
00:01:10,019 --> 00:01:15,219
groups of four or five students who will ask a question of current interest, research the topic

13
00:01:15,219 --> 00:01:20,099
using multiple credible sources and then communicate the information in a way that can't

14
00:01:20,099 --> 00:01:22,340
be understood by a broad audience.

15
00:01:50,099 --> 00:01:54,099
you will create an informative sheet that we will distribute in the center and an oral presentation

16
00:01:54,099 --> 00:01:58,099
that describes the steps taken in your project from the beginning to the

17
00:01:58,099 --> 00:02:02,099
end. Keep in mind that some tasks will be carried out

18
00:02:02,099 --> 00:02:06,099
in groups and others will be individual. All the information, the instructions,

19
00:02:06,099 --> 00:02:10,099
the rubrics and the templates, the model that you will use, are available in the virtual class

20
00:02:10,099 --> 00:02:14,099
in Unit 4 Calvin Green.

21
00:02:14,099 --> 00:02:18,099
We will start by establishing the work bases and groups in the two initial sessions

22
00:02:18,099 --> 00:02:23,219
y en las diez sesiones siguientes trabajaremos en el aula, la sala de ordenadores y en casa.

23
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,020
El resultado de vuestro trabajo se plasmará, entre otras actividades, en una presentación oral que será evaluada.

24
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:35,080
Y hablando de evaluación, tened en cuenta que se va a valorar vuestro trabajo diario en el aula y en casa,

25
00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:41,259
tanto en grupo como individualmente, así como las tareas puntuales y finales que evaluarán las distintas destrezas

26
00:02:41,259 --> 00:02:47,500
speaking, reading, writing, listening and use of English, de acuerdo con las rubricas publicadas en el aula virtual.

27
00:02:48,099 --> 00:02:53,500
So learn, enjoy and do not forget, reduce, reuse and recycle.
