Q4+What+Can+We+Do+to+Raise+Awareness+Lessons

Guiding Question #4 What can we do to raise awareness about the health of the Sound?
||^  || Students will apply questioning strategies to analyze and evaluate community service organizations focused on Puget Sound or environmental health. ||  1. Identify a community service organization with a website to model elements involved in deciding whether someone might want to participate in that organization.  2. Begin by having students share with partner what they notice from the organization’s home page. Share. (Initial observations might include what can be learned from the web address (URL) about the organization’s purpose; initial observations of pictures and texts on site’s home page)  3. Pose a general question: What might someone want to know about an organization before joining? (Students record questions with partners) Next ask partners to join with another partner group. Combine lists and then challenge groups to ask further questions building on initial questions.  4. Refer students back to sample site’s home page. What links might offer answers to some questions?  5. Assign students organizations to research and answer questions (use class generated questions, following list or a combination).  6. Post responses (online table, such as Google docs)  7. Review evaluation graphic organizer. Then have students develop criteria for determining which organization they might wish to get involved.  8. Have individuals compare five different organizations.  9. Share as class which organizations students might be most interested in checking out. (Encourage students to make phone or e-mail contact with organization and share back with class). || Students record a reflection on their online “blogs” about what they learned about service organizations and which, if any, might be worth learning more about. (Encourage students to make phone or e-mail contact with organization and share back with class).

 * ** Lesson Title: ** Sounding Off Projects
 * Implementation Time: ** Two Weeks (Time in and outside of class to create projects; time to share projects with the targeted audiences)
 * Resource(s): ** Background knowledge from unit
 * Materials Needed: ** Varies according to specific project choices; Project Overview, Project Rubric, Possible Audiences/Possible Products, Work Plan template, Project Updates

||^  ||  Students will explore the expectations for the Sounding Off projects, select their project work team, and begin to create a vehicle for effectively communicate concerns regarding the health of the Puget Sound, including action steps to make a difference.
 * ** Learner Outcome(s): What will happen for learners as a result of this lesson? **

|| <span style="font-size: 11pt; msobidifontfamily: Calibri; msolist: Ignore; mso-list: Ignore; msobidithemefont: minor-latin;"> 1. Share with students that over the next one or two weeks, they will have the opportunity to take what they have learned about the state of the Puget Sound and to incorporate their learning into a project where they will persuade a targeted audience to take action steps to improve the health of the Puget Sound. Tell students that they will select their audience and create an original product that communicates their concerns about the Sound and provides a way for the audience to make a positive difference for the local environment. <span style="font-size: 11pt; msobidifontfamily: Calibri; msolist: Ignore; mso-list: Ignore; msobidithemefont: minor-latin;"> 2. Distribute the Sounding Off! Project Guidelines and review the general expectations. Share that students may self select into groups of 2, 3, or 4 students. Each group will select their own medium for communication. Students will want to check in with each other to see who is interested in what. For example, some students may want to create a film while others want to create works of art and others want to put on a play. Students will want to be with other students who have similar interests. <span style="font-size: 11pt; msobidifontfamily: Calibri; msolist: Ignore; mso-list: Ignore; msobidithemefont: minor-latin;"> 3. Once groups are formed, review with the students the thinking skill of synthesis. Compare to the skill of analysis used at the beginning of the unit. Analysis is breaking things into parts while synthesis is creating a new whole. They are opposite processes. Note that students will want to spend time brainstorming their message and their medium prior to committing to a particular direction. They should consider all of the options for products and think about to whom they want to convey a message. As a class, brainstorm products and audiences with the students. (See Sample List) Emphasize the creative aspects of synthesis. If desired, use a program like Inspiration to record and share the ideas. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Century Schoolbook','serif';"> <span style="msobidifontfamily: Calibri; msolist: Ignore; mso-list: Ignore; msobidithemefont: minor-latin;"> 1.

They will present their projects to an appropriate audience prior to the end of the school year. <span style="msobidifontfamily: Calibri; msolist: Ignore; mso-list: Ignore; msobidithemefont: minor-latin;"> 2. Provide the Design Template in a digital format to the project teams.

Share that you will track each team’s project digitally by having the teams post progress updates to their digital learning community site. Provide an electronic version of the project update reflection tool and ask students to complete for the work they have done today. <span style="font-family: Calibri; msobidifontsize: 12.0pt; msoasciifontfamily: Calibri; msohansifontfamily: Calibri;">Instruct the students to post their team, the medium they have selected, and their targeted audience to the digital learning community site. They will have the opportunity to receive feedback from other students in the class as well as give suggestions to other project teams, practicing the skills of Collaborative Workers who are accountable and who build on other people’s thinking. Ask students to complete the project update form and to determine next steps in their work. What will they do at home to reach their goals? What will they do at school? <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Monitor the students’ progress and provide support as needed.

Sounding Off on the Puget Sound Project
Overview: Your job is to persuade a targeted audience to take action that will preserve and protect the Puget Sound. You will work as a member of a team and will identify a specific population for effectively communicating a message that incorporates concerns about the current state of the Sound and that shares a call to action. Your goal is to influence people to make a difference in improving the Puget Sound’s present and future health. Once you have identified your audience, you will want to determine what medium you will use to convey your message. Your medium may include the arts, technology, and/or speaking/writing. You are encouraged to be creative and persuasive! . Example products may include ideas like creating a picture book to teach primary children about the state of the sound and what they can do to improve its health, a documentary film that is designed to convince political action groups to pass legislation preserving water quality, an infomercial to post on the web educating community members about our interdependence with the health of the Sound, or an art display that can rotate through our schools showing the beauty and wonder of the Sound, asking people to protect this precious resource.
