Dear Suhailah,

Well done! It looks great!

All ideas were well explained throughout the course. An aspect that was intriguing to me were the mini micro plastics, I enjoyed how u talked about all parts of the micro plastics Well done!

Author has covered the necessary information concisely. Would definitely recommend for a quick but well put lesson.

It’s a very clear and understanding. One thing I would change would be, adding scientific evidence that prove your study.

Important, thoughtful topic and related with climate change.
