5. Renewable Resources Commercial
Students will research renewable energy sources and use Tellegami to create a commercial promoting the energy source that would be most useful to our area.
REDEFINITION
Technology allows for the
creation of new tasks that were
previously not conceivable.
Pick up an iPad.
Go to the SHS 9th Grade website, go to “Library,” “Renewable Resources.”
Research renewable resources and take notes on the following:
Startup Costs
Pro’s and Con’s
Problems with this resource
Future Sustainability
4. Analyze your findings, and decide which resource you think would be most beneficial to Southwest Louisiana.
5. Write one paragraph defending your resource, citing evidence from your research. (minimum 5 sentences)
6. Use the Tellegami app to record yourself reading your paragraph, as if you were filming a commercial to promote its use in our area.
7. Save your Tellegami to your iPad and write down your name and iPad number on the log sheet.
