Assessments will be ongoing throughout the unit.
1.) Students will be required to sketch, label and describe the water cycle
2.) Students will participate in the creation of a mock "community action plan" in which they take on roles of different community members (e.g. store owner, homeowner, city planner, environmentalist) to come up with a written plan for their community's trash problem
3.) Each child in the class will contribute one page toward the class "Important Book About Trash" that expresses their knowledge of the big ideas of the unit.
