Too late to clean plastics up? guides students through an interdisciplinary journey to understand the environmental impact of plastic. Inspired by Rachel Hope Allison’s graphic novel, this didactical material combines reading, discussion, and hands-on activities to help learners explore key questions about pollution, ecosystems, and human responsibility.
Through both individual and collaborative tasks, as well as creative projects, students investigate the causes and consequences of plastic waste, analyse its effect on marine life and communities, and propose innovative solutions. Step by step, they develop essential skills for critical literacy, scientific inquiry, creativity, and social awareness, while strengthening their communication in English.
This booklet, that includes three units and designed within the PROMISED model, provides teachers with a ready-to-use and flexible framework that connects literature, STEAM education, and global citizenship. The material is adaptable to different teaching contexts and can be implemented not only in English but also through other languages, offering a versatile resource that supports innovation in bilingual and multilingual classrooms. It includes practical activities, digital resources, and assessment tools, all aligned with global sustainability challenges.
