E - Wastage - Lesson 2

Lesson 2
2.1 Essential Question:
          
·         Is Electronic Wastage is a leading issue in the current economic and environmental scenario?
·         Is the profit oriented production (which is not backed by the demand) a threat to Sustainability?
·         Is MNC/big cooperates are creating /            demand for their product through advertisement, which can cause for increasing E-wastage?


2.2 Grouping Strategy:
            
5 Team of 8 students of mixed ability and skill will be formed.
This is to promote teamwork and peer group interaction so that according to diverse ability children can do their best in respective task /responsibility given to them.
Each team will assign different task/responsibility like conduct survey, finding facts,analyses of the survey, presentation of the project and compilation work.

2.3 Learning Environment:
            
·      A group working area in the classroom will be set aside with tables and chairs to allow more effective interaction among team members.
·      Computer labs will be used for the majority of the online work.
·      Data collected through survey(sample Survey) will  be recorded in computers/blogs.


2.4Assessment Approach:
            Describe the approach for:
            2.41 Authentic Assessment:
Authentic tasks such as
1.      Dumping of electronic waste properly/systematically.
2.      Preparing the chart showing the e-wastage in each students house during the last three years.
3.      Presentation of seminar on the importance of conserving minerals and controlling avoidable demands in the students life.          
           
2.42 Formative Assessment:
           
Regular feedback will be provided as the students work on conducting survey, collecting the information/facts from internet and library, presentation of seminars and power points ect.  

2.43 Summative Assessment:
            Assessment will be conducted on
·         Team  portfolios in blogs
·         Seminar presentation
·         Analyses and concluding the survey results
·         Deriving suggestions/measures to overcome the problem.

2.44 Rubrics:
Rubrics will be used to assess:

·         Surveys
·         Seminar/power point presentation by the group
·         Chart of e-wastage pattern among the households.
·         Final presentation

2.45 Gradings:
Project grades will be based on a combination of scores from assessments made during the project. A rubric will be used to compile grades.   




E - Wastage - Lesson 1

1.Project Plan
Electronic Wastage (E-Wastage)
(1.1)The Define Phase
(1.11)Introduction:

Ø  To understand the concept of E- Wastage
Ø  To analyse the harmful effect of e-wastage on health and environment
Ø  To find out the number of electronic objects (can be used) are held as unused/waste because of the arrival of new models/invention.
Ø  To learn the influence of advertisement and MNC in creating new demand for the product and likewise increasing production which is a threat to sustainable development.



















(1.12)Project Scope:

Students from class X

Subject involved: Science, Geography, Economics, Statistics and English

Survey  will be monitored and presentation of survey will done by the children.  Group will be monitored through the group leaders.









(1.13) Curriculum and Standards


Class X Social Science (Geography) topic covered by the project are
v Pollution: Harmful effects of E-wastage.
v Conservation of minerals: Techniques of E-wastage management.
v Sustainable development : How can control production without backed by demand.
