In the following page you’ll find the main key words that can be useful talking about soil pollution, recycling and renewable energy. They have a definition just to make the children know their meaning.
Every partner will translate them in each local language.
In this way we are going to create a sort of “European” phrase book that will enable our five schools to be united and cooperating in this kind of project.
Children will be asked to read these definitions and they will work on them.
Please go to materials-files and add your glossary in the folder called "soil pollution, recycling..."
