Introduce the lesson with excitement. Mention that this project is about making a difference in our local community through environmental stewardship.

Explain how local environmental issues impact everyone. Use examples like litter, pollution, and loss of green spaces. Ask students to share any issues they've noticed in their community.

Guide the brainstorming session. Remind students that no idea is too small or too big, and that every suggestion is valuable.

Outline the steps for developing their project as groups. Emphasize creativity, feasibility, and community involvement.

Conclude by setting expectations for the group presentations and reflection. Encourage thoughtful discussion on what might change in their community with these projects.
