Objective # 1: TSW Describe Community Agencies That Campaign for Healthy Individual, Families

Objective # 1: TSW describe community agencies that campaign for healthy individual, families, and communities so that, given time, research materials, and a specific organization to research, tsw write a report on the organization. The report should include the name of the organization, the purpose of the organization, two principal fund-raising methods, the address, telephone number and, if appropriate, web page address of the national and local offices for the organization. The report should include at least one way in which the student believes they could assist the organization or benefit from the organization.

Directions to students: Students, one of your assignments for this unit will be to write a report on a community agency that campaign for healthy individuals, families, and/or communities. Your report should be word-processed and include, as a minimum, the following information: the name of the organization, its purpose, and two principle methods for fundraising. For both the local and national offices, provide information on the address, telephone number and if appropriate web page address for the agency. Your report should also include at least one way you believe you could assist this agency or the agency could assist you. Writing skills will be graded, so check you spelling and mechanics. Due November 1.

OJECTIVE #2: TSW compare the earth’s composition to other planets in terms of supporting life so that, given the scenario of the planet Earth no longer being habitable for human and other biological life forms, tsw develop a persuasive argument for which of the other planets (or moons of planets) would be an appropriate host for earth life. The argument must contain accurate information and use only currently known technology for preserving life on the new planet (moving life to this new planet does not have to be considered in a factual manner). The argument must address at a minimum, the new planet’s atmosphere, temperature, and gravity, as compared to the Earth. It should be logical and persuasive.

DIRECTIONS TO STUDENTS: The year: 2005. Your assignment: Determine which of the other planets or moons in our solar system could be made habitable for humans and other earth biological life forms, because in one year the earth will no longer support such life. You are to write (word-processed) an argument supporting your choice of planet or moon. Your argument must contain accurate information and only currently known technology for preserving life on our new planet. Do not be concerned with having to move people to your choice – just make a decision and write your best defense for your choice. Your argument should contain, at a minimum, information about the planet/moon’s atmosphere, temperature and gravity as compared to earth. You will have to persuade lots of people, so your argument should also be logical and persuasive. Use your best writing skills, as I will grade for spelling and mechanics. Due Oct 30.
