INTRODUCTION:
In this Recycling Paper Project, students will be examining various ways in which to
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle paper products. This will be a hands-on, group
assignment which should increase your understanding of the processes of reducing,
reusing, and recycling paper goods, as well as being able to share your findings and
results with the class.
They will be assigned to a team and the individuals on each team will decide who will be
responsible for each role within that team. They will be using computers to take notes,
keeping track of their progress, creating an infographic to inform the rest of the school
about their project, and presenting their findings using a Prezi presentation.
This should be a fun and exciting project in which they will be expected to research,
create, and present ideas that will in the long run, give others useful information about
reducing, reusing, and recycling paper products.

CONCLUSION:
Students will now be knowledgeable about the benefits of Reducing, Reusing and
Recycling paper and ways to do this in our school. After completing this WebQuest and
all presentations have been made, students will vote on which recycling paper plan
presented should be put into action at your school. The entire class will then participate
in implementing the plan and present it to the school during an all school assembly.
During this assembly, each student will also share their personal reflections on their
recycling paper WebQuest journey.
