(see Evaluation for guidelines).
4. Create an advertisement
about your topic area. This maybe an oral advertisement to present
on the school intercom or a written advertisement to present in the school
newspaper (see Evaluation for guidelines).
5. Create a model of your
chosen topic area (see Evaluation for guidelines).
6. Establish a school wide
project to help with your cause. Some ideas could be organizing a
paper drive, garbage pick-up, presentation to city council or a school
board, or promoting carpooling/bicycle riding (see Evaluation for
guidelines).
7. Develop a multimedia presentation
of your topic using Kidpix, Hyperstudio, or Powerpoint to present to your
teacher and classmates. The presentation should influence and encourage
the audience to make a change and to help with your cause. You will
need to include a title slide/card. Your additional slides/cards
should include main points that you will discuss during your oral presentation.
Slides/cards should be appealing to the audience (see Evaluation
