Million $ Change Continued

By now, you should have had an opportunity to respond and complete some research concerning what change you would make if you had a million dollars.  This change could be in Little Rock; Arkansas; the United States;  and/or in the world (must be considered a service to the community). 

Now that you have read and made notes on your KWPSL for at least one source about your change (community service topic), you will utilize the Web Poster Assignment.  You will have to locate or create a picture that represents the problem concerning the community service/change topic.  The picture must be free to use for educational purposes.  You will then complete a paragraph that convinces the EAST Facilitator and other students that this topic should become a priority project for our school.

 

Pre-Poster Activities

Please review this list of things you should/should’ve completed prior to this assignment:

 

1.       Gave an oral or written response to the following prompt:  If I had a million dollars to make a change, I would . . . (it must be a community service).

2.       Visited www.eastinitiatve.org > Projects & Schools > Project Finder and located projects on this topic (ask the facilitator for another website if needed).

3.       Completed at least 2-3 sentences for each area of the KWPSL for at least once source.
 

 4.      Use the following sheet to organize your thoughts (use at least 1 main idea and supporting details): http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/writing/worksheet_5.asp?topic=Persuasive
