This lesson could link with Global Recycling Day in March, but is also part of our Our Planet, Our Impact series and discusses preparing for leaving home/going to university and how to managed shared living to deal with waste disposal. The preliminary quiz on Forms (link to duplicate on the Teaching Notes) will give you some idea of the starting point for many students regarding their awareness of Bin Day, recycling where they currently live and their attitude to recycling and considering their actions. It also discusses ways to manage cooking and clothes shopping on a budget, not just to save money, but also to reduce waste, so lots of food for thought. There are optional discussion points and suggested video links so you can readily adapt the lesson to fit your time allocation.

April Bundle
A lot of April is taken up with Easter holidays, so this is a smaller bundle, but bear in mind that the Stephen Lawrence Day lesson includes 2 other free lessons. These lessons mostly tie to April dates, but the Leaving home one links both with Earth Day and preparing Y13 students for leaving home and the Girls in ICT links to the International Day, but could be included wherever suits you best in your programme.
