We are currently doing PBl, problem based learning.
So, what is the problem that we have indicate?
It is that most canals are very dirty because people throw rubbish into it.
It was then questions kept popping into our mind like
" what will you do about the problem? "
1. Add more dustbins along the other sides of the canal
2. Make signs and put them along the sides of the canal. (e.g. 10m to dustbins!)
3. Tell people what happens when they pollute the water.
" Why do you want to reduce this problem? "
1. It has an unpleasant smell.
2. It is unsightly to see litter in the canal.
3. the ecosystem might be affected.
4. It attracts pests and breeds germs.
5. The people living near the canal are affected by the smell.
There we have decided on our problem statement:
The canals are dirty because lazy and irresponsible people throw their rubbish into it. It is very unpleasant and smelly to see and smell the rubbish rotting in the canal. It discourages tourists from coming here. The ecosystem in the canal might be affected. Even people living near the canal would be affected. We think that more dustbins should be added to sides of the canal as it has no dustbins along in some canals.
I'll write more on this, the next post ^^
