Instructions: 

1. Before the activity, gather materials and cut white computer paper in half. 
2. Gather students together and discuss the power of using their voice and ways they can use their voice to help the environment. Brainstorm together and then break into teams of 3-5. 
3. Have groups spread out and brainstorm what issues or solution they want to advocate for in order to help the planet (i.e. Recycle, use less water, Throw away trash, carpool, etc.)
4. Staff should go around and check in with groups when they have decided and ensure that it is framed in the positive. For example, if a group said their poster would say, “Don’t Litter!” have them figure out a way to say it in the positive like, “Throw Away Trash.” 
5. Staff will use markers to write each groups topic large on a piece of construction paper.
6. Pass out a half sheet of white paper to each student and have students write their names on them.
7. Have students illustrate ideas on how to achieve their chosen topic. For example, if the group chose the topic, “Throw trash away,” they might draw pictures of people throwing trash away. If they said, “Save Water,” they might draw pictures about ways to save water. 
8. Using a glue stick, attach the team pictures around the edges of the team construction paper. 
9. Clean up.
10. Have groups take turns standing up and sharing about the poster their team created.
11. Reflect.
