  4. Task • Students will observe debris on the beach and the edge of the water. • Students will determine the need to formulate a project, the focal point of which will be to eliminate or reduce the collection of debris on the beach and maintaining cleanliness at all times. • Visit the community based organization to discuss ideas for accomplishing this task. • Present ideas persuasively.
