Learning Objectives

Indicator: K1.1.5.1.7 - Prepare posters with pictures cut from calendar and newspapers to post in the environment cautioning people not to make the place dirty.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify pictures from calendars and newspapers that show people making the environment dirty (such as dropping rubbish or littering).
Work in small groups to cut out pictures and paste them onto poster paper to create a “NO” poster.
Write or trace the big word “NO” on their group poster using one chosen colour from three selected colours (for example, red, blue, or black).
Sort the finished posters into groups by colour and count how many posters are in each colour group.
Post the finished “NO” posters around the school compound during a supervised walk and explain in simple words that the posters tell people not to make the place dirty.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Provide newspaper cutting or pictures from calendars showing what people do to mess the environment and have pupils (in small groups) prepare posters and write big "NO" on each poster with each group choosing just one colour from the three selected colours. Have learners sort their final works into same colours and count the quantity of each. Take learners for
a walk outside and have them post "NO" poster all over the school compound to encourage cleanliness practice.
