Scenario
You belong to a neighborhood group that meets monthly for informational talks. You are in charge of the upcoming talk and your topic is recycling. You may live in an area that has a recycling bin that gets emptied on a weekly basis, but your informational talk will focus on recycling centers near you. You are tasked with reporting to your neighbors where to recycle hazardous waste, electronics, and appliances that will not fit in or are not appropriate for the bins. You will need to make a handout in a Word document for your neighbors to take with them.
Research
Research what hazardous waste is and why it should be recycled properly. Do the same for electronics and appliances, noting your sources along the way.
Using the Internet, find
three
recycling centers near your neighborhood. Among these three there should be options for recycling hazardous waste, electronics, and appliances; a single recycling center may not accept all three of these, but make sure between the three recycling centers that these needs are met. You will make note of what recyclables they accept, their locations, and their phone numbers for a table you will create. Keep track of the sources of this information for your reference page.
Locate photos or images of each of the three types of recycling: hazardous waste, electronics, and appliances; making sure to note the sources of each photo or image.
Using the information from your research, write an introductory paragraph, a one-paragraph summary for each of the three types of recycling, and a conclusion paragraph, for a total of five paragraphs. You will use these paragraphs in the document you create below.

Scenario
Your local library is hosting a technology night and they have
asked you to create a brief overview of three different
cellphones from three different cellular service providers. Your
job is not to sway your audience, but to provide a small amount
7. of information.
Research
Using the Internet, search the sites of
three
different cellular providers and/or manufacturers to find
information on new cellphones. For each of the three cellphones
you will need to find information on who manufactures the
cellphone, what the model is, how much memory it has, what
operating system it runs on, and what colors are available. You
will also need to find out which cellular provider you will
purchase it from and how much it will cost. You will select a
different manufacturer and model at each cellular provider’s
site, so you end up with three different models of cellphone and
three different providers.
Locate a photo or image of each cellphone, making sure to note
the source.
