Story of Freddie the Fish

To make the students aware of the effects of water pollution on the creatures whose home is water, I read a story of Freddie.

Fishbowl activity!

The “fishbowl” is a teaching strategy that helps students practice being contributors and listeners in a discussion.

During this activity students asked questions, presented opinions, and shared information about Earth's resources.

This strategy is especially useful to make sure all students participate in the discussion, when you want to help students reflect on what a “good discussion” looks like, and when you need a structure for discussing a difficult topics. Few topics which were discussed were:
