We discussed collective thought and action in investigating community themes in relation to collective identification with our shared experience and also learning a new skill as enabling the exploration of significant life issues.
We decided a lesson in this could be setting up a giant sticky canvass in the school lunch room and have everybody in the school throw their garbage onto the canvass for the entire day. It would create an interesting community created mosaic where we could all see just how much garbage we really create each day. It may prompt us to reduce what we throw away.
