    (adapted from p. 9 of Trash hack guide)

    STEP 1: OBSERVATION

    Students watch a. images of artworks made from waste materials,  identify the materials used and guess the artist’s message; b. a video about books transformed into artworks 

    STEP 2: REFLECTION

    Students are asked to  reflect on the meaning of producing such works

    STEP 3: ACTION

    Students are invited to  collect non-hazardous waste materials at home and use them to transform an unused book of theirs

    STEP 4:  DOCUMENTATION AND SHARING

    Pictures  of the work are  assembled  to be  shared with the other European partners on  eTwinning and with the UNESCO community for the Trash Hack Campaign
