  1. Okay, students, um, let's go over the assessment we have due at the end of our unit.
  2. It is called Save Our Species,
  3. So you will be in teams of four,
  4. and your team's afore your team is going to pretend to
  5. be part of an organization that helps to preserve endangered species.
  6. Scientists estimate that about 27,000 species go extinct every year,
  7. so your organization needs to choose which ones it can afford to save,
  8. so more than one might be chosen
  9. this year. The organization wants to focus on the African savanna ecosystem.
  10. Your team is in charge of leading efforts to save one of the following,
  11. so you may choose one.
  12. Look at this
  13. note one team per species,
  14. so every team will have a different species that you will not. It will not be
  15. five teams during the Mexican poppy. Each team will have a different species.
  16. You'll be competing with other teams for funding.
  17. You all need to prove why your species of work saving
  18. The company has only $21,000 to spend
  19. between all the species that decides to fund.
  20. Okay, so
  21. You are working to get part of their $21,000 to help save your species,
  22. you wanted to create a visually appealing
  23. and factual Google presentation slide
  24. presentation to convince the organization to
  25. fund your species and include how much money you would need.
  26. So you need to think about
  27. what, um, what you want, what species want to work on,
  28. what you want funded and why it deserves to be funded
  29. In your groups of four. You will do research.
  30. You'll need to gather information about your selected species
  31. from reputable websites.
  32. You need to answer the questions here,
  33. but it's a Google Slides presentation,
  34. so you're not going to be writing paragraphs.
  35. You want to address these things, but make it interesting, short, easy to read.
  36. It's a presentation,
  37. not an essay,
  38. and then you need to think about funding.
  39. They only have $2021,000 to spend, so don't ask them for 20,000.
  40. It's gonna be really hard to convince something of all
  41. the money to you and no money to somebody else.
  42. You might have a better chance if you ask for less,
  43. but don't ask for too little or your species might go extinct
  44. when you're asking for the money. How much are you going to ask for?
  45. How would you spend it? Here's some ideas of how you would spend it.
  46. I would include this
  47. in your presentation.
  48. You want to convince these people to give you the money,
  49. so you need to tell them how you're going to use their money.
  50. These important details to your presentation. But keep it short.
  51. If it's too long or too much text,
  52. your presentation will be boring and you may not get funding.
  53. So again you're choosing a species.
  54. You're going to,
  55. um, research it.
  56. Explain why it should be saved. Why you're
  57. group deserves funding.
  58. You're going to address these issues with your species
  59. and you're going to address how much you're asking
  60. for and how that funding will be used.
  61. Good luck. I can't wait to see your presentations.
