Process

=Process= = Day 1 - Day 2 = You along with one or two of your classmate will research a type of alternative energy. The six topics include solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, biomass, and geothermal. You will describe the pros and cons of using this type of alternative energy using a story board.

Day 3 Using the story board create a PowerPoint presentation.

Day 4 You will present the information in a PowerPoint presentation to your class. The class will then determine which alternative energy is the best choice for our community.

Day 5 - Day 6 You will then use persuasive writing in an attempt to be a community advocate; you will ultimately try to persuade other members of the community to adopt this alternative energy source. You will defend your choice using information learned in this lesson (in your research, if applicable, and other student presentations). You will address social impacts, costs, and environmental impacts.

Day 7 You will participate in a "Town" meeting to determine which alternative energy is the best choice for our community.
