Wump+World

media type="custom" key="4656903" Reduce = Less Garbage Reuse = Use an item more than once Recycle = Turn an item into another useful item As the students read Wump World they noted the main idea and supporting details. The students quickly noted that this was an unstated main idea. The students had to infer in order to determine the true meaning of the text. The students discussed with each other and decided that the main idea or author's message was to not be wasteful, not take for granted what you have, to appreciate what you have and try to conserve it.After reading the students created a foldable comparing how the pollutians polluted the air, land, water, and noise to how we pollute these resources. As a class we then brainstormed:
 * 1) understand the need for waste management.
 * 2) understand the meaning of the terms REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE.
 * 3) differentiate between the terms REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE.
 * 4) document their own ideas for using the 3 R's with respect to a number of simple objects.
 * 5) document their own ideas for recycling items.
