My system application ideas are pretty straightforward, but I think they really make sense for my program. All would follow with similar graphics and layout as my business system (the brown bar and slightly angled text) and also include the ants, plants, and maybe a few more characters that speak more about recycling. The following is a list of products I am thinking about creating:
1. Pencils/notebooks/folders to hand out to the students at the beginning of the program. The notebook would be a small "field" notebook that the students would take with them on nature walks. Inside there would be sample baggies for collecting leaves and dirt for sampling, and also some fun facts and a calendar.
2. Recycling bin mock-up that would model the ones that would be around the school and in the lunchrooms. They will have fun shapes on the top that mimic the items that should go in there as well as big pictures on the side of cans and bottles, which will help remind younger students what they can and can't recycle.
3. Posters (maybe 2) that would go along with the recycling bins. They will show what can and can't be recycled as well as get kids excited about the program.
I think I will be able to complete all of these (hopefully) but depending on time, I might have to pick and choose which things I want to do. I think that the recycling bin will take the most time to complete because I want to do one that is close to the real size. But it is the most important piece of the system and needs to be there.
Let me know what you think!
