| The ABCs of Earth Day
1. Choose a strip out of the box. The strip will tell you what letter you
are responsible for.
2. Each strip contains a few options for your letter. Choose one OR choose
your own, but decide which issue you are going to focus on. Some of the
issues focus on things that Earth Day strives to promote, and some of the
issues are things Earth Day strives to get rid of.
3. Using links provided on Mrs. Gobert's or Mrs. Tidwell's website,
research your issue. Be sure to note which sites you go to and which ones
give you the information that you use.
4. Create ONE PowerPoint slide that includes the following:
„Ã Your letter and what it stands for
„Ã The most important fact
„Ã The reason why this fact applies to Earth Day
„Ã At least one appropriate graphic
„Ã Use of color and background
„Ã Use of notes section to include 5 additional facts & a
bibliography
* Save your slide in the Student_Shared folder in the appropriate area (by
class period).
Please view my sample slide on the Handouts page of this site.

successfully resolved that conflict within your story?

please ask a teacher if you may print.
