    This lesson plan uses Instagram to teach students about littering and geography. Students will take photos of litter around their community, tag the photos with hashtags, and plot the locations on a map. They will identify frequently littered products and create PSAs to send to those companies or local officials. Students will present their PSAs to the class and vote on one to send. Finally, students will write reflections on their experience and the impact of pollution. The goal is for students to understand how human actions like littering affect the environment locally and globally.
