Read The Adventures of a Plastic Bottle by Alison Inches. Prepare picture props for the children to use in retelling the story and put them in sequence on a bulletin board or clothesline to show the cycle of a plastic bottle. Ask the children, “Why isn't it a good idea for plastic bottles and materials to float in the oceans and seas?” Record their responses. Show the children pictures of what can be done in the classroom to reuse and recycle plastic bottles. For example, show how a two-liter bottle can become a ball catcher. This could be done in large group.
