In last week's class we finished the book portion of unit 1: What is Environmental Science? Your homework was to think about and try the first design: an environmental resource center (learning center). This center should be designed purely for environmental education purposes. It should contain various sections (as can be seen in the example) and offer interesting and useful information for visitors.
The homework was to start this design. In the first part of class this week, we will tweak and finish the designs. then we will have an opportunity to practice presentations in pairs, and then small groups. This week is the first presentation, so presentation points will be practiced. Later in the month we will create a larger version of your design (and sometimes will do it with a partner) to present in front of groups of the class. I will explain how to do this as time goes on.
After practice, we will probably go on to unit 2: The Atmosphere. We will do a short reading on the different parts of the atmosphere and the importance of the air we breathe. We hope to practice presentations on this week after next.
Please don't forget to bring all your books and notes to every class! If you forget your book, or neglect to do the homework, bookwork, designs, or don't take quizzes and tests, you grades will go down!
See you in next class and have a great evening!
