Answer 4

Part 1

Instructions: Select an organization that works to protect some element of the environment (ocean, land, trees, animals, etc.). Visit the organization’s website, and read the “About Us” section to learn more about the organization. Search to find the following information and record your findings in the chart below:

Essential Questions

The Answers

What is the name of the organization?



When were they founded?



Why were they founded? (This information may be found in an “Our Mission” section of the website.)



What do they actually do?



What are their goals? (This information may be found in an “Our Vision” section of the website.)



Why is their work important?




When you record information from research, write it in your own words. Do not copy the words from your source. It is easy to get a thought in your own words! First, read the paragraph. Next, explain aloud what you have just read without referring to the original text. What you say is what you should record in the chart above.

Part 2

Now that you have completed some research, you have a job! Answer the question: How has your selected organization helped the environment?

Write a five to seven sentence informational paragraph about the important work of the organization you have selected. Use the information you recorded in the chart above to help you write your paragraph to be featured on a webpage entitled “Environmental Heroes: Anyone Can Be One.”


All information should be in your own words. No portion of your paragraph should have words from the source you researched.


Part 3

Create TWO different formats that would be featured with your paragraph on a webpage entitled “Environmental Heroes: Anyone Can Be One.” Information that might be appropriate to incorporate may include (but is not limited to):

What can the average citizen do to help your organization’s cause?
Why is the organization’s cause important?
How has the organization made a difference?
Now, think about how you can communicate this information in different formats. Maps, organizer charts, graphs, pictures, hand drawn illustrations, audio, and video can be effective. Make sure you include the TWO media.
