This document provides instructions for a summative assignment on ecosystems. Students will be assigned a local, national, or international focus and environmental issue to research. They will then write a newspaper article and create a multimedia piece to raise awareness about the issue. Both works must include information about an organization addressing the issue positively and how the audience can help. Students will send their pieces to at least one relevant organization to promote advocacy and change. The focus is on informing others and encouraging action through understanding ecosystem interdependence.
