The Quest

A group of citizens has hired your group to investigate the problems and causes of nutrient pollution in the Chesapeake Bay.  Your job is to provide a comprehensive folio of information on the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay for the client, Concerned Coastal Citizens. 
Be creative and carefully read the instructions!

Groups will be assigned by the instructor.  Each group will take on the role of either scientists, government liaisons, fisherpeople, coastal residents, or conservationists.  Working within this group, you will help to create a product for the client detailing the causes of nutrient pollution in the Chesapeake Bay, using the provided links. 

The Process

• Group members and roles will be assigned by the instructor.
• Group members should read the assignment carefully.
• Groups should divide the resource list between individuals.
• Individual group members should check out their resource links and download information they might need to produce their group's product. 
• Groups should set a time to gather all information together and produce products.
• After sufficient research time, a design for the product should be started. 
• Group members should design their product, check spelling and have another group review their product. 
• Group members should gather and organize a presentation for the client.

Hints

• Visuals, overheads, charts and posters should be neat, simple and legible. 
• Plan before you produce! 
• Organize your information with an outline, concept map or a flow chart.
• If you find information which might help another group, be sure to share it!
