Directions:
How can I persuade the board of directors to follow my recommendation?


 




Goal:

At the end of the activity, your final product will be complete.  Depending on the form of your product, you may have used a word processor, draw and paint software, presentation/multimedia software, or web authoring software. Your final product might be on individual one or a team one. Steps:
  1. Gather your diagrams, chart, maps, and pictures.
  2. Reread the task above and the evaluation below.
  3. Decide the best way to communicate this information to the board of directors.
  4. Draw up an outline or storyboard of what your product will look like. Remember that you are trying to convince the audience to agree with your recommendation. You must include at least three geographic features (physical characteristics) that support your recommendation. Select the geographic features that will best support the recommendation. For each geographic feature you include, you need to show why it would be a pro or con.
  5. If you are doing a team product, divide the outline or storyboard into parts for each team member to complete or assign roles for each member of the team. Possible roles include author, artist, computer helper, and organizer.
  6. Complete the part of the outline/storyboard or role you are responsible for. Remember that you are trying to convince the audience to agree with your recommendation.
  7. Pull all of the parts together into a whole. Revise it if needed.

  8. Review your work using the point system below and revise your work again if needed.
