Earth Day and The Power Over Trash

Hi all. I'm excited to share with you my all time favorite Earth Day story. It's called The Wartville Wizard by Don Madden.

It's a book with a powerful message about taking care of our world.

The main character, an old man, lives in a town called Wartville.

He picks up litter day after day until one day he tires of picking up after everybody else's mess.

He gains the power over trash and it literally becomes "stick ons" to the slob that left it on the ground.

I've done this cute writing craft following the read aloud and my class LOVES it.

Students explain what would happen if they had the power over trash and then create a person with

"Stick On" trash. So cute!

"I would make the trash people dropped go into their faucets and TV so when they wash their hands trash will pour on their hands. Also when they watch TV all the trash will block the screen"

" I would make the people have bad luck for a long time. After they have bad luck they will know not to litter."

"I would make people eat the trash they littered. So I would either make the food go directly into their mouths or mix it into their food."
