We also continued with our project.

Day 4. Voting for the best ideas to solve our porblem and working out a step-by-step action plan.
  • We decided that we could buy a pack of plastic bags and as an campaign for our project give those bags to people who are walking with dogs! Good idea! 
  • We could get money from our Flea Market or organise one more paid activity.
  • Also we started to design small notes we´re going to give to each pet owner with the information - convincing pet owners to clean after their pets! Perfect!




Designing the information leaflets for pet owners!












Extra task: do all three exercises in your notebook (2 points per each exercise):
Exercise Was or Were?
