Nature: What is the Most Endangered Life in Indiana and What Can We do About It?

Search News websites to find out information regarding endangered species or environmental problems in Indiana. This could be either a plant or animal or something that affects us all.  Prepare to summarize the story and persuade the rest of class to join you in a campaign to bring attention to this problem.  Summaries may be a simple speech, a video, a letter, a power point,  in any format you wish.  Rubric will be available for the grade.

Checklist: authentic topic, facts on why we should care about the issue, why it is a problem, efforts to save/fix the problem, what you suggest we as a class do.  

Summaries will be presented in the second half of class on Wednesday.

Here are a few ideas to get you going.
