<span class="wiki_link_ext">__5/3/11__ Homework <span class="wiki_link_ext">Generation Citizen for Period 6 History was a bit of a roller-coaster ride. We planned to base our project off school security, but soon, we were informed that the school has already made plans for all the security needs. That basically threw us off track. Then, we all unanimously decided on doing our Generation Citizen project on recycling, which was is a huge issue in Malden. The whole process of Generation Citizen had made me personally realize that everyone has a voice in the world. If we all work together on a cause, it will be fixed. It also opened my eyes to many opportunities in Malden, via recycling and become very thankful of recycling. My group, which was the 'Public Service Announcement' group, had many ideas for the project. Deciding that we were not going to do a speech or announcement, we decided to make creative and entertaining flyers that will catch the eyes of Malden High students. By taking the faces of our group members and placing it on famous people such as Kobe Bryant or Uncle Sam along with a catchy slogan remixed with a little "recycling snaz", we hoped it will attract Malden High students and make them recycle more. We knew yelling at kids or just telling them wouldn't teach them a lesson of recycling, so we'd thought some entertaining flyers would. We also created a recycling drive on May 26th for items such as batteries and cell phones. The recycling drive would help raise awareness of throwing away useless phones or batteries and hopefully make students realize that they can recycle them. This whole entire project was a great experience for me and hopefully my classmates.
