Direct Instruction: 30 minutes Leaners

o Explain plastic waste statistics - Take notes


o Discuss recycling and reusing materials - Ask questions
o Show examples of sustainable living
practices

Explain Plastic Waste Statistics:

Use infographics, charts, or graphs to illustrate


plastic waste statistics.

-Real-life examples: Share local or global


examples of plastic waste impacts

-Data analysis: Provide statistics on plastic


waste generation, recycling rates, and
environmental impacts.

The estimated global plastic waste generation


was around 6.30 billion tons from 1950 to 2015,
and about 80 % of plastics accumulate in the
natural environment. Liang et al. (2021)
calculated the plastic waste generation in 2016
to be around 242 million tons.

Differentiation:
- Provide additional support for struggling students by working with them in a small group or
individually.
- Offer challenge opportunities for advanced students by encouraging them to explore more
diagrams.

Homework / Independent work:


o Research local recycling programs
o Design a poster or infographic about plastic waste reduction
Leaners needing special attention:

Learners are encouraged to ask questions whenever they need clarification or if they want a
concept to be repeated. In the case of learners with poor eyesight, they will be advised to sit in
the front for better visibility.
