Part I: Assessing Prior Knowledge Classroom - 40 minutes
1. Asses Prior Knowledge: Share with students the strategy called “Brainstorming”: for a specified amount of time, students are to call out terms/words/ideas relevant to the topic. This activity will give you information about student’s prior knowledge in reference to marine debris, the water cycle, habitat destruction, and storm run-off.
2. In this case, it is to “Think of all the things you can name that could be marine debris.” The recorder is to write down everything that is named. All answers are acceptable in brainstorming and no answer is unacceptable. At the end of a determined time (usually 3-5 minutes), recorders stop writing and groups turn to face the teacher.
3. When asked, groups reveal their answers. Facilitator assists students in identifying similarities, differences.
4. Place chart paper and markers around the room – divide students into triads or pairs (depending on size of whole group and wall space for charting). Groups select a recorder. If wall space is not available, students may sit in pairs or triads. Leader provides paper and markers/pens. Spelling doesn’t count.
5. Once you have given the directions about Brainstorming, students will go to their chart paper and, when indicated, will begin writing responses until time is called.
6. Leader calls on groups to report out. One method of sharing asks recorders to place a checkmark next to any of the items named by other groups. This reduces duplications and requires students to remain engaged.
7. At the conclusion of the activity, the Leader asks the whole group for their general thoughts and perceptions on marine debris. Simulate the affect marine debris has on animals by placing a rubber band around your hand. Show students how it constricts your movement. Ask students the following:
8. How do you think these items become marine debris? 9. How do you think we could reduce or eliminate many of these items as debris? 10. What should we do when we find debris in our waters?
