Green Teams To The Rescue!!

This week you are part of a "Green Team", which is an environmentalist group. Your job will be to research what are our most progressive environmental problems as of now and what solutions are proposed to help save, inform or protect the planet. Your team will design a logo that represents what you stand for as an environmentalist group and a URL (a web site address). As an environmentalist group you will make a 1-3 min short using iMovie and a digital camera to show how you plan to inform the world about being "green".

Team Options: Choose ONE
1. Create a commercial about a new product or service you can provide in the year 2050 that can help save the environment. Let your imagination run wild with the research you find. (new sources of energy, chemical free services for cleaning, turning your house green, making house hold items out of recycled material, transportation, think green)

2. Portray (create) an informative clip on how everyday people can live in an environmentally friendly way. (live green, how to recycle, what to do with trash, using less power, composting, buying green, organic food consumption, transportation changes, buying local goods, being informed about current issues with the environment)

3. Make a News cast or a picture/ video montage about the dangers we face if the world does not change its bad habits. (look at biome destruction, food chains, deforestation, rain forest, animal endangerment due to environmental problems, land fills and trash, house hold energy consumption)

**Use the links above as a start to your research. Pick one issue or similar issues to deal with for your digital presentation

Task:

1. Write a proposal of what your team intends to do (using Pages)
2. Research your topic
3. Make a story board (your shooting plan); create your team logo with Pages
4. Shoot your scenes to edit
5. Edit your presentations (1-3 min) in iMovie
