War On Waste - Plastic Waste In The News

Students explore plastic waste articles in the news. Students begin by discussing what they already know about single-use plastics before reading and analysing two news articles about plastic waste, looking at the content of the articles, as well as language features, visual features and text structures of the articles. Students are then invited to write their own article, either based on a waste or recycling activity they have been involved in or a clip from War On Waste.
