24th May POSTERS discussion!today we discussed & brainstorm for ideas for the posters!
(here we are discussing using Bryce's Laptop. Photographer: TPL. Sadly Karyen was unable to make it)for each category(water, electricity and waste management), there is a theme, which is also a slogan.
the poster(s) for the category will
revolve around the theme. at the bottom of each poster, the theme(slogan) will be stated.
FOR WATER!!! H20theme(slogan): save water. save life. save the earth
- How much water is wasted from leaky taps:
-water flow per minute X number of leaky taps X school population
-what can the amount of water wasted be used for: eg, can support the life of a family for.... (give ppl an idea that the water wasted from leaky taps is really alot! and it can save life...)
FOR ELECTRICITY!!! Energy
theme(slogan): conserve electricity for the future
- If electricity is suddenly cut off... what will happen
- first part of the comic shows electricity wastage
- second part of the comic shows that the electricity is suddenly cut off (something funny happens)
- shows the importance of electricity and so we should conserve!
- can make a series, of different actions of wasting electricity and different outcomes of electricity being cut off - intersesting ways and uncommon ways to conserve electricity/interesting or shocking facts about conserving energy
- people will find conserving electricity can be a interesting process =)!
FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT!!! 3Rs
theme(slogan): reduce waste. youths can play a part! (tentative to change)
- get a short word to do with waste management. the letters of the word will make up actions or tips to help in waste management! (needs expansion of this idea)
- can make a series, different words to do with waste management can make up different posters
anymore ideas please add on especially for WASTE MANAGEMENT!
make sure the ideas are EASILY EXPRESSED ON PAPER.
