About this resource

Plan an Earth Day message and turn it into a T-shirt drawing. The response sheet asks students to choose their message, words or slogan, and visual elements before using the blank shirt template.

The download contains four JPG files: the design template and response sheet in A4 and US Letter sizes. Supply paper and art materials. Younger learners can explain their choices aloud with adult support; producing an actual shirt is a separate extension.
