    2. ECO-CLASS – collection of wastepaper and points for eco-friendly activities.  In June every school announces the amount of the collected wastepaper by all classes  and  send it to Polish coordinator. Polish coordinator will create a ranking of schools and will show the results on eTwinning and Facebook.

    3. ECO-STUDENT – the one who will collect the most of wastepaper.
      If waste paper is collected by individual students 3 best students in each school will be awarded. The results of the 3 best students will be send to the Polish coordinator. Polish coordinator will create a ranking of schools and will show the results on eTwinning and Facebook.

    4. SCHOOL ECO-NOTEBOOK – appointed school worker or pupils note down the amounts of water, energy, gas used in the school(on the basis of the bills) Results are put together and compared every year.

    5. STUDENT ECO-NOTEBOOK -every student once in a month notes down the amounts of water, energy, gas, heating, garbage disposal, petrol used at home etc. (on the basis of the bills)  inside of the notebook.

    6. CLASS ECO-NOTEBOOK – every tutor collects documents confirming that a student has collected a given amount of wastepaper. ECO-NOTEBOOK is divided into three parts, as each year other recyclable materials will be collected. First year: paper, second: plastic caps, third: used batteries. Every class notes down eco-friendly activities conducted by the class – 1 point for every eco-action. At the end of the year one winning class in each school is awarded.

    7. Other activities:

    • ECOPAEDIA (hard product of the project) – teacher’s guide containing original lesson plans for older and younger pupils(34 month) These original and innovative lesson plans will apply to 4 subject areas which are to be realized in our project (resources, water, energy, health). They will be used during tutor lessons(weekly class meetings) and other educational activities in all partner schools and they will be accessible for all interested schools on E-TWINNING
    • If you have school educational programs at the beginning of each school year you should implement the information about Erasmus+ and obligate tutors to conduct at least 3 lessons throughout the school year dedicated to ecology with a focus on raw materials.
    • During a visit in the Polish school, all teachers will participate in lessons concerning ecology conducted by Polish teachers in the younger grades (students up to 9 years old) and senior classes (students up to 13). These lesson plans written in English will become a part of ECOPAEDIA.
    • As it comes to the visit in Poland: The teachers of each school  prepare a lesson or lessons on ecology, which they will teach in international groups (in English)in Polish school. Our teachers will be present during the lesson and they will help. The lesson planes used will also be placed in ECOPAEDIA. This procedure will apply during every visit to the partner school. Every school must create 2 lessons plans during each school year(in English, the time must be specified, the division on younger and older pupils).
