van Stichting De Noordzee

Marien zwerfafval (zwerfafval in zee) en plastic vervuiling zijn een wereldwijd groeiend milieuprobleem. Jaarlijks stroomt er ongeveer 8 miljoen ton plastic in onze oceanen.

Dit is schadelijk voor de oceanen en de vele diersoorten die erin leven. Zeezoogdieren, vogels en vissen zien het afval, zoals stukjes plastic, dopjes of plastic zakjes, aan voor voedsel. Ze raken verstrikt in afgedankte of verloren netten, visdraad en touwen.

Plastic deeltjes zijn inmiddels in 660 in zee levende soorten aangetroffen. Mogelijke effecten op de menselijke gezondheid worden onderzocht.

Remember SE Speaking: Part 3?

- A 3-minute speech on a subject that has to do with the English-speaking world (culture, language, country, history)

- You have to learn it by heart, no cheat sheet, only pictures allowed.

Today's goals

1. Decide on a subject and tell me

(remember, having to do with something in the English-speaking world!)

2. Plan your talk (lay-out/ 'bouwplan')

3. Start writing your speech

(think about what visual aids you could/ want to use)

Next week

- Study exam words: Revise prefixes

- Bring your novel and SB to class

- Make sure you're ready to present your SE Speaking mini-speech in a small group on Tuesday! (cheat sheets allowed at that point)

Remember that you need to have finished reading by Wednesday!
