Objective: Students will research an environmental issue of their choice and create both a short presentation and a brochure. The goal is to educate others on the issue by addressing its causes, impacts, potential solutions, and recommendations for addressing the problem. Instructions: Step 1: Choose an Environmental Issue Select an environmental issue that interests you. Examples include: Climate Change Plastic Pollution Deforestation Air or Water Pollution Loss of Biodiversity Ocean Acidification Overfishing Soil Erosion Step 2: Research Conduct thorough research on the issue. Be sure to use reliable sources, such as academic journals, environmental organizations, and government publications. Step 3: Create a Presentation (5-7 minutes) Your presentation should be clear, concise, and engaging. Address the following points: What is the issue? Describe the environmental problem. How does the issue affect the environment? Discuss its impact on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Where is the problem the biggest? Identify specific geographic areas most affected. When did the problem become an issue? Outline key moments or turning points. Who or what caused the problem? Discuss the human activities or natural processes contributing to the issue. Who is responsible for fixing the problem? Highlight the roles of governments, industries, and individuals. Has there been any progress in reversing the problem? Provide examples of initiatives, policies, or actions taken. What are the solutions? Propose potential solutions based on research. Suggestions: Offer your own ideas or strategies to address the issue. Graphic Requirement: Include at least one graph or chart in your presentation to illustrate changes or trends over time (e.g., levels of pollution, deforestation rates, species decline). Step 4: Create a Brochure Using the templates in Word to guide you, design a brochure that complements your presentation. It should summarize your key points and include: An overview of the issue. Causes and effects of the problem. A timeline of important events or trends. Progress and solutions to the problem. Recommendations for future actions.
