My school is an environmental science magnet so we are supposed to bring our lessons back to that theme. We often have discussions about how we can help keep our Earth clean. My students always ask why aren't we doing more? Why aren't we stopping the pollution? I wanted them to know that there were people out there making a difference. We read stories about these people, they made backdrops based on those covers. The students dress up like their assigned person and recite a speech about their contributions.
I love this activity because it gives students a way to apply what they are learning in a different way. They are incorporating art and getting practice at presenting publicly.
Here are their backdrops:
