In the bright Global classroom, Miss Melany (floral dress, white cardigan) smiles at her students. Grecia (yellow star t-shirt, denim skirt) grins confidently; Abi (pink hoodie with cat ears, blue jeans) nods eagerly; Axel (green polo, khaki shorts) bounces with excitement; Saul (navy sweater, dark pants) thinks quietly.
In Global Class, Miss Melany smiled at her students. "I want you to find a real problem at school and solve it together," she said. Grecia grinned. "Let's do it!" Abi nodded happily, Axel bounced with excitement, and Saul thought quietly. "What about the field?" Saul said. "I always see trash there." The team agreed. Their mission had begun, and they couldn't wait to explore.
Outside by the sunlit field littered with wrappers and plastic bottles, Grecia (yellow star t-shirt, denim skirt) holds her tablet to photograph the trash; Abi (pink hoodie with cat ears, blue jeans) looks surprised; Axel (green polo, khaki shorts) picks up a bottle; Saul (navy sweater, dark pants) nods thoughtfully.
The four friends walked to the field after class. Wrappers fluttered in the grass, and plastic bottles lay scattered near the fence. "Look at all this!" Abi said, surprised. Axel picked up a bottle carefully. "Let's take pictures for proof," Grecia suggested, holding up her tablet. Saul nodded. "Good evidence helps us understand the problem." Click, click, click—they snapped photos of the litter, determined to learn why it kept piling up.
In the hallway near her classroom, Miss Paola (brown blazer, glasses) explains why trash piles up, while Grecia (yellow star t-shirt, denim skirt) listens politely; Abi (pink hoodie with cat ears, blue jeans) nods; Axel (green polo, khaki shorts) scratches his head; and Saul (navy sweater, dark pants) takes notes.
Back inside, the team found Miss Paola near her classroom. "Why do you think there's so much trash by the field?" Grecia asked politely. Miss Paola thought for a moment. "Students finish snacks outside and don't have a trash can nearby," she explained. Axel scratched his head. "So they just drop it?" Miss Paola nodded. "Exactly. A simple fix could help a lot." The students thanked her, their minds already buzzing with ideas.
In the classroom on presentation day, Miss Melany (teal blouse, black skirt) applauds as Grecia (purple blouse, gray trousers) holds a poster; Abi (yellow floral dress, white cardigan) gestures to their model; Axel (red polo, blue jeans) points excitedly; and Saul (light blue button-down, khakis) smiles proudly.
All week, the team planned their project. "We need more trash cans near the field," Saul said thoughtfully. Grecia nodded. "That way, students won't have to walk far." Abi drew colorful posters, while Axel built a small model trash can from cardboard. On presentation day, Miss Melany clapped. "Wonderful teamwork!" The school agreed to add new bins. The field looked brighter already, and the four friends felt proud of their caring solution.
